PREFATORY NOTE

   This work is based on a careful study of the highest recognized authorities on the subject. Its purpose is to present in a clear, connected, and forcible manner the important events in the history of our country.
   The author has had three chief objects in view, -- accuracy of statement, simplicity of style, impartiality of treatment.
   In the preparation of this work his grateful acknowledgments are due to John Franklin Jameson, Director of the Department of Historical Research of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, for his valuable assistance in the revision of the proof sheets. The author also desires to express his thanks for the use of books and papers in the Library of Harvard University, the Library of Congress, and the Library of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and he is especially indebted to the Librarian and the attendants of the Boston athenaeum for the aid they have so courteously rendered him.
   The present edition has been revised throughout and brought up to date.
