Description:Excerpt from A Compendium of Ancient and Modern History: With Questions Adapted to the Use of Schools and Academies; Also an Appendix Biographical notices arc at all times interesting and instructive. But as the introduction of these notices in the body of the work would too much interrupt that close connection of events, so important in a Compendium of History, the author has added a short Biographical Sketch of Distinguished Personages. By this means, he has been enabled to notice the lives and actions of many eminent characters, who could not otherwise have been conveniently introduced. The Chronological Table, which fixes the date of nil important events, discoveries, &c., will be found both interesting and useful, as it will often save hours of labor and anxious research. In a work which professes to he a compilation, and which, from its nature and design, must consist of materials chiefly selected from the writings of others, it is scarcely necessary to apologize for the use which the author has made of tho labors of his predecessors. He has, in general, omitted the names of the authors from whom he has made his selections, because he frequently thought proper to change their style, and alter their language, in order to suit the connection, and adapt them to the nature of the Compendium. The author is well aware that much improvement might lie made in the present edition, and regrets, exceedingly, that several errors will be found upon. its pages, but generally of a typographical character. But those who arc acquainted with the arduous task of passing the first edition of a work of this nature through the press, will readily overlook its many imperfections. In orthography, Webster has generally been followed as the standard. If the present Compendium will he found, in the remotest degree, to benefit any portion of tho community, or tend to facilitate the acquisition of historical knowledge, the most ardent desires of the author will be realized. It has been a subject of much regret to the author, that various errors, generally of a typographical nature, have occurred in the first edition of this work. The present edition, therefore, has been carefully revised and corrected. Several improvements, which lime and experience have suggested, have been made in this edition. In order to render it more convenient, both for teachers and pupils, the Questions have been arranged at the bottom of each page, and the size of the work has been somewhat reduced, by enlarging the page. These improvements, it is hoped, will add much to the merits of the Compendium, and render it still deserving of that very liberal patronage which has been already extended to it.
