FROM THE AUTHORS PREFACE: The object of this work is to present to the reader a series of Historical Incidents in American History some of which may not be generally known in an historical pictorial and poetic form. We are aware that the plan of this work differs from any we have yet seen but we flatter ourselves that it will be found interesting and in-structive. In the historical introduction to each of the scenes de-scribed we have aimed at accuracy and simplicity ; in the lines that follow there is of course latitude given to introduce moral and religious reflections. Whatever we have advanced of this nature we trust will be found in accordance with the great and vital principles of Christianity. Instead of glorifying mere military he-roes as is too often the case among all nations we have aimed to give prominence to men who practiced the virtues of Christianity. Such men only are the real patriots and nobles of the human race and such only are worthy of lasting remembrance. . . Whatever may be thought of this work as a mere literary production we have aimed to produce strictly an American Book the influence of which we trust will be found on the side of God and humanity and we believe some part of it at least will in some form live after we father and daughter have left these mortal scenes. -- J. W. B.</p> J. W. Barber / J. H. Bradley hardcover
