Excerpt from The Union To broad savannahs lit with noontide gleams, That dance and sparkle on exulting streams Where prairies throb to nature's open heart, Or spires arraign the city's sordid mart Through the wide land the mimic lightning flies, To kindle rapture in a people's eyes To-day, - to-day, a nation's plaudits ring.

Excerpt from Stand by the Union "Stand by the Union' is the fourth of "The Blue and Gray Series." As in the preceding volumes of the series, the incidents of the story are located in the midst of the war of the Rebellion, now dating back nearly thirty years, or before any of my younger readers were born. To those who lived two days in one through that eventful and anxious period, sometimes trembling for the fate of the nation, but always sustained by the faith and the hope through which the final victory was won, it seems hardly possible that so many years have flowed into the vast ocean of the past since that terrible conflict was raging over so large a portion of our now united country.

Excerpt from The Brownies Through the Union HE infant year scarce. Toddled o'er The threshold of Time's open door, To show the date that far and near Must now at letter-heads appear, When Brownies answered to a call That promised pleasant times for all. Said one: A rest we have enjoyed Since last our hands have been employed, Or since with glee we rambled round Through many a strange, historic ground. Here in this leading State we'll find Much that may well engross the mind. Although no ancient castles throw Their Shadows on the waves below, As by the Tweed, the Rhine or Rhone, Or other streams as widely known.

Excerpt from Young Folk's History of the War for the Union HE writer has endeavored to give, in the following pages, an unprejudiced and impartial account of our great Civil War. The difficulty of such a task can scarcely be appreciated by one who has not himself made the attempt. The echoes of the contest have scarcely yet died away, and the bitter feelings born of it are still apt to warp the judgment and to unfit men of either part of our country to estimate calmly the motives and acts of their opponents. Yet he who would write a truth ful history of those times must necessarily divest himself of partisanship and lift himself above the plane of local prejudice. If the writer has failed to do this, it is not because he has not made an honest effort to weigh carefully the facts as narrated by both Northern and Southern writers, and to give each side its just dues. As the work is intended primarily for young folks, the author has aimed to give, in chronological order, a plain and concise account of the most striking events of the war, enlivened by sketches of the prominent men engaged in it, and by inci dents and anecdotes illustrative of it. Though some of the stories are possibly apocryphal, many of the characteristic ones which serve to throw light upon the period and its events have been retained without any attempt to prove their truth or falsity. The writer has consulted the best available sources, and it is believed that the narrative is as nearly correct in its details as any previous work. The language used is simple, adapted to the understanding of the young, and technical words and expressions, when unavoidably used, are fully explained. The'=-illustrations are intended to be equally trustworthy, having been selected not for mere picturesqueness, but for their value in elucidating the text. The larger part of them were drawn at the time and from the objects which they represent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Formation of the Union, 1750-1829 The second volume of the Epochs of American History aims to follow out the principles laid down for "The Colonies," - the study of causes rather than of events, the development of the American nation out of scattered and inharmonious colonies. The throwing off of English control, the growth out of narrow political conditions, the struggle against foreign domination, and the extension of popular government, are all parts of the uninterrupted process of the Formation of the Union. So mighty a development can be treated only in its elements in this small volume. Much matter is thrown into graphic form in the maps; the Suggestions for Readers and Teachers, and the bibliographies at the heads of the chapters are meant to lead to more detailed accounts, both of events and of social and economic conditions. Although the book includes three serious wars, there is no military history in it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
