The appearance of the Word format closely approximates the original text, except that sentence fragments are

rejoined across page and illustration boundaries. The HTML and TXT formats discard page boundaries but

retain the year references in square brackets. Thus [1492-1495] indicate the following text covers this period,

until the next such appearance.

been inserted.

TO MY WIFE

PREFACE

Notwithstanding the number of United States histories already in existence, and the excellence of many of

them, I venture to think that no apology is needed for bringing forward another.

1. The work now presented to the public is believed to utilize, more than any of its predecessors, the many

valuable researches of recent years into the rich archives of this and other nations.

2. Most of the briefer treatments of the subject are manuals, intended for pupils in schools, the conspicuous

articulation so necessary for this purpose greatly lessening their interest for the general reader. The following

narrative will be found continuous as well as of moderate compass.

3. I have sought to make more prominent than popular histories have usually done, at the same time the

political evolution of our country on the one hand, and the social culture, habits, and life of the people on the

other.

4. The work strives to observe scrupulous proportion in treating the different parts and phases of our national

career, neglecting none and over-emphasizing none. Also, while pronouncedly national and patriotic, it is

careful to be perfectly fair and kind to the people of all sections.

5. Effort has been made to present the matter in the most natural periods and divisions, and to give such a title

to each of these as to render the table of contents a truthful and instructive epitome of our national past.

History of the United States, Vol. I (of VI), by 3

6. With the same aim the Fore-history is exhibited in sharp separation from the United States history proper,

calling due attention to what is too commonly missed, the truly epochal character of the adoption of our

present Constitution, in 1789.

7. Copious illustration has been employed, with diligent study to make it for every reader in the highest

degree an instrument of instruction, delight, and cultivation in art.

8. No pains has been spared to secure perfect accuracy in all references to dates, persons, and places, so that

the volumes may be used with confidence as a work of reference. I am persuaded that much success in this

has been attained, despite the uncertainty still attaching to many matters of this sort in United States history,

especially to dates.

BROWN UNIVERSITY, September 15. 1894.

PUBLISHERS' NOTE

The last edition of President Andrews's History was issued in 1905, in five volumes, and brought the narrative

down to the inauguration of President Roosevelt in March of that year. In preparing the extension of the work

by the addition of a sixth volume, entrusted to the competent hands of Professor James Alton James of

Northwestern University, it has been thought desirable to begin this final volume with the chapters entitled

"The Rise of Roosevelt" and "Mr. Roosevelt's Presidency." This has involved some expansion and revision of

these chapters as well as the continuance of the History from 1905 to the present time. The Appendices, which

include public documents of fundamental importance and the significant results in various fields of the Census

of 1910, are an additional feature of the new edition.
