NOTE
The object of this series is to encourage a taste for history among
boys and girls up to thirteen or fourteen years of age. An attempt has
been made to bring home to the young reader the principal events and
movements of the periods covered by the several volumes.
If in these little stories historical fact treads somewhat closely
upon the heels of fiction, the authors would plead the excellence of
their intentions and the limitations of their space.
