Excerpt from The Great Events, Vol. 17: By Famous Historian In the year 1844 electricity, last and mightiest of the servants of man, was seized and harnessed and made to do practical work. A telegraph line was erected between Washington and Baltimore. In 1846 mathematics achieved perhaps the greatest triumph of abstract science. It pointed out where in the heavens there should be a planet, never before known by man. Strong telescopes were directed to the spot and the planet was discovered. Man had found guides more subtle and more accurate than his own five ancient senses. The age of figures, the age of electricity, began. The changes were symbolic, perhaps, of the more rapid rate at which the forces of society were soon to move. Over all Europe and America great events were shaping themselves with lightning speed. Tremendous changes political and economic, social and scientific, were hurrying to an issue. The Mexican War In America the Mexican War, vast in its territorial results, still more so in its effect upon society, broke out in 1846 over the admission of Texas to the United States. The superior fighting strength of the more northern race was at once made evident. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Great Events in Modern History If read through, it cannot fail to be useful. Its facts, and the great historical personages it exhibits will be remembered. They cannot be forgotten. In order the better to insure the recollection of incidents and characters presented in this volume, the author has embellished it profusely with engravings. These graphic helps to the memory exert much influence in extending and popularizing the knowledge of history. They make the reader familiar with the subject, at the same time that they afford pleasure to the cultivated eye, and serve to diffuse among all classes of readers a certain degree of knowledge and taste in the fine arts. The author is sensible to the high degree of indulgence with which his very humble efforts in the cause of national education have been regarded by his countrymen. The publishers' returns of copies sold afford a tolerably satisfactory proof that his works are very widely diffused among the people; and as this has been the case for many years, he has reason to believe that they are also approved. For this he is deeply grateful, and he will always endeavour to evince the sincerity of his gratitude by studiously aiming at real utility in whatever he may offer to the notice of the public.
