Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: No; II., Or Uncle Philip's Conversations With the Children About New-York I send you now some farther conversations which I have had with the children about the his tory of our own country; and when you print these, I hope that all the little boys and girls in America will be as much pleased with them as the young companions of your old uncle seemed to be while we were talking. We have this time been talking about the History of our own state, N ew York; and I suppose that my young friends were pleased, because we were speaking of many things that occurred upon the very same soil upon which we now walk. At any rate, they seemed happy, and I was contented to amuse and instruct them. I am very glad that they are all so much pleased with the study of history, for it will be a useful pleasure to them. You know, too, that no man is well educated unless he has studied the history of the world, and particularly the his tory of his own country. So I am delighted that the children are all determined, in this particular, to be well educated.vni preface.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Child's History of Rome, Vol. 1 of 2 It was a very famous place, the Forum; and I have said this much about it in order that you may have some picture of it in your eye when you hear it mentioned in this history. There were many temples at Rome, but as they long ago crumbled into dust, we know little or no thing about them. There was an aqueduct, called the Appian Aqueduct after its builder, an old Ro man named Aprwe claudius, about whom there were many famous stories. This aqueduct brought water to the city from a source eight miles off. And there was a great drain, which, I think, was the most wonderful work of ancient Rome. People said it had been built by an old king of Rome, whose name was servius tullius, two hundred years ago and more: any how, it was very old, and so wide that a cart and horse could drive through it, and so strong that it does its duty still, and not a stone of it has mouldered away. I wonder how our drains will look two thousand years hence! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History, Formation of the Constitution, Vol. 1 of 2: United States of America Very many years have gone by since I conceived a hope of one day writing a history of the forma tion of our federal constitution. The congress of the confederation and the federal convention having sat with closed doors and under injunctions of se crecy, materials for the work lay almost exclusively in manuscripts widely dispersed. I have visited the archives of more than half the thirteen states, and have never neglected an opportunity of taking copies of papers relating to the subject wherever I could find them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Foundation of Virginia to the Reconstruction of the Union AN impartial historian is naturally rare. He must realise vividly, yet feel coldly; his interest in the great drama of human passion must be equally passionless and profound; he must live in the conflicts of the Past, yet take no side therein. Even the colourless austerity of Thucydides, the concentrated terseness of Tacitus, fail to stand the test of modern criticism. Our own favourite classics - Gibbon and Alison, Motley, Macaulay, and Carlyle - are those who infuse into the Past most of the breath, life, and movement of modern party spirit. Grote and Froude present, in the new light of their own warm partisanship, periods heretofore painted and regarded from an opposite standpoint. If ever that plea may avail a former advocate, reviewing from the Bench of History a cause he once argued at the bar of politics, it should surely vindicate an effort to treat candidly and truthfully a theme of which the sympathisers with success have enjoyed a virtual monopoly; especially when addressing a generation which knows the lion's part almost exclusively from the art of somewhat over exultant conquerors.

This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Slave States of America, Vol. 1 of 2 I must admit, however, that considering the indis criminate praise bestowed on American institutions and manners by some, and the equally indiscriminate censure lavished on everything American by others, I did apprehend more difficulty in rendering a strictly impartial book - which should award both praise and blame in such proportions as facts should warrant, and in such proportions only - acceptable to so large a class of readers, as the extensive sale of the work itself seems to imply. I have, therefore, been agreeably surprised to find my fears on this head groundless; and one of the rare occurrences of life has thus, in this instance, been my portion; namely, that my most sanguine expectations have been outstripped by reality. Some few objections, made as they have been, in no unfriendly spirit, deserve, however, a brief notice. One objection is this: that too much space has been devoted to historical, geographical, and statistic information.

Before weighing anchor, and having stored provisions in his galley, we are told that the renowned abbot and navigator ordered his brethren, in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost to embz-jirk:25 ten he had embarked, his mariner monks unfurled the sail, and began their voyage, steering towards the summer solstice. The wind was favourable, and they had merely to hold their sail. After a fortnight the wind fell, and they took their paddles till their strength was spent. Brendan encouraged them saving, Fear not, for God watches over us, and He guides our bark; trim the sail and let her f10at; God will do what He wishes with His servants, and with His bark.

This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitutional History of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Adoption of the Articles of Confederation to the Close of Jackson's Administration After the abdication of James, and the establishment of William, great and arduous duties were performed by the House of Commons. They exercised a beneficial in uence, which is readily perceptible, from the motive exhibited in limiting the revenue; their jealousy of a standing army; their interference in the Irish forfeitures, for which, how ever, they have received the censure of eminent writers, whose justification may be found in the indignation often ex pressed against William, in granting away one million of acres belonging to those Irish who had fought on the Side of James. From this hurried notice of the progress of the power of the House of Commons, it is easy to see the vast in uence they exerted in giving a tendency to the mind, an impetus to the sentiments, of the people, in the direct and onward track for freedom, whose representative they were proud to be, as they instilled in their hearts a warm and devoted attachment to justice and liberty. It was in the House of Commons the first seeds of free principles were planted, which, by gradual maturity, have made England a country of permanent and most enlightened institutions, compared with all the govern ments of the Old World.
