FROM THE PREFACE.
This little book is intended to meet, so far as it may, the want of brief, compact, and handy manuals of the beginnings of our country.
It aims to occupy a place between the larger and the lesser histories.—to condense or eliminate from the exhaustive narrative as to give it greater vitality, or so extend and elucidate what the school history too often leaves obscure for want of space as to supply the deficiency. So, when teachers have a particular topic before them it is intended that a chapter on the same subject be read, to fill out the bare outlines of the common school text-book.
AN AMERICAN FOUR-IN-HAND IN BRITAIN.
By ANDREW CARNEGIE.
1 Vol., small quarto, $2.00. Cheap Edition, yellow paper cover, 25 cents.
The book gives a lively account of the author’s famous drive with a party of friends on a coach through England and Scotland. The trip was originally suggested by Mr. Black’s novel, “The Strange Adventures of a Phaeton,” and extended from Brighton to Inverness, a distance of more than eight hundred miles, which was accomplished in about seven weeks. Mr. Carnegie is an entertaining and agreeable writer, and this record of his novel journey makes a delightful and readable book.
Uniform with the small quarto edition of AN AMERICAN FOUR-IN-HAND IN BRITAIN.
