The aim of the distinguished author in this valuable history is thus simply jbut distinctly expressed by himself: My sole object, he says, has been to produce a succinct and connected development of the vivid and eventful course oi our countrys history, written in a style calculated to excite the interest and sympathy of my readers, and of such especially who, not seeking to enter upon a very profound study of the sources and more elaborate work connected with the annals of our empire, are nevertheless anxious to have presented to them the means of acquiring an accurate knowledge of the records of our Fatherland, in such a form as to leave upon the mind and heart an enduring, indelible impression. That our industrious historian has attained his object, the intelligent reader will find in the interest excited, the clear views imparted, and the deep impresy sion effected by his animated portrayals of both events and individuals.
