Historical Lights;
Or, Six Thousand Historical Articles, illustrating Thirty Thousand Topics. Especially arranged for the Family Library, as also for Conversationalists, Lecturers, Public Speakers, Writers for the Press, Lawyers, Students, and all who have occasion to use illustrations drawn from History. Compiled by Rev. Charles E. Little, author of "Biblical Lights and Side-lights."
"These 'Lights' are a galaxy taken exclusively from standard Histories and Biographies. They consist of Facts, Incidents, Examples and Precedents, selected for illustrative purposes, and chiefly from the Civilized Races of Antiquity and the American and English people. The Subjects relate to Religious, Social, and Political Life, to Moral and Civil Government, etc. The historian's name is appended to every quotation. There are no fugitive anecdotes in the work."
