Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: § 5-1 Place and Educative Value. 7 In colleges American and English history are often the only branches of the subject taught. They should properly be preceded by a good college course in general history, with an adequate amount of collateral reading, and with some written work; a thorough course in English history, especially in the Tudor and Stuart periods, is perhaps the best preparation for American history ; but mediajval and modern European history better precede than follow American history. Hence the careful study of American history is not likely to begin earlier than the Sophomore or Junior year ; and should always be preceded by some subject more remote. For graduate work American history is very convenient because the materials are everywhere about us and the field is little explored. It has also a close connection with the study of American government and economics, and therefore with current events. But no one can be fitted to be a specialist in American history who has not also a good all-round training in the general subject, and thus is able to compare intelligently the history of other countries with that of his own. § 5. Educative Value. The same warning might be given to the student of other fields than American : no country furnishes in itself a sufficient lesson, â and the systematic study of the history of any nation which has really contributed to the world's political thought is educative in itself, and prepares the student to appreciate the history of other lands. In its effect on the mind American history is distinctly to be commended. The principal reasons for the study of history are that it trains the memory, is a steady practice in the use of materials, exercises the judgment, and sets before the student's mind a high standard of characte...

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: PART II. CLASSIFIED BIBLIOGRAPHY CHAPTER III BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AlDS ,§21. Special Aids No systematic bibliography concerning the whole field of American history has as yet been completed, though several works cover portions of the field in detail; and there are numerous special bibliographies of persons, periods, or special subjects. A list of bibliographies and check lists of American history is P. L. Ford, Check List of Bibliographies . . . of American Books and Subjects, Brooklyn, 1889; and the Annual Literary Index and Annual Library Index (1892-) list current bibliographies on general and specific topics (sec § 24 below, under Poole). The most significant bibliographies on a considerable scale are as follows: Joseph Sabin, Dictionary of Books relating to America (see § 24). This is intended to include the title of every book published in America or about America; but it contains only titles up to the dates of the several volumes (1868-1892), and it does not refer to periodicals. It now (1911) reaches the name of Henry H. Smith; publication has been suspended and the work is out of print. A set, including all numbers so far published, would probably cost five hundred dollars. Charles Evans, American Bibliography (§24) has only reached 1785 and will not extend beyond 1820. Bradford and Hcnkcl, Bibliographer's Manual (§ 24) is confined to state and local history- F. Leypoldt, American Catalogue and its continuations (§ 24) contain the titles of all books in print in America in 1876, and since issued. Marion E. Potter, United Slates Catalog (§ 24) serves the same purpose for book in print in 1002 or since issued. Justin Winsor, Narrative and Critical History (§ 29) is a work of vast learning, and includes admirable bibliographies of all subjects tre...

The aim of this little book is to tell in a simple and concise form the story of the founding and development of the United States. The study of the history of one¿s own country is a serious matter and should be entered upon by the text-book writer by the teacher and by the pupil in a serious spirit even to a greater extent than the study of language or of arithmetic. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
