The Century Book for Young Americans.
Century. 1.50
Issued under the auspices of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, this volume gives an account of the visit of a party of young people to Washington, where they learned much of interest regarding our government and the workings of its different departments. There are many illustrations.
"For Mr. Dunlop had said to his brother: 'Take them, first, to the centre of things, Tom. Go to Washington. Let them see why our government was made, how it was made, and how it is run.'"
Much regret has been felt from the fact that there has been no book published heretofore in which the principles contended for in the American Revolution, and a description of the institutions of the Government, have been set forth in a sufficiently interesting form to make the study attractive to children.... This work has now been produced, and it is presented in a form which commends itself highly to the Society, and has received its cordial approval.
