Excerpt from Centennial History of the City of Washington, D. C: With Full Outline of the Natural Advantages, Accounts of the Indian Tribes, Selection of the Site Founding of the City, Pioneer Life, Municipal, Military, Mercantile, Manufacturing, and Transportation Interests, the Press Schools, Churches, Etc., Etc Great History of the United States is sometimes referred to as merely an exhibition of the idiosyncrasies of its author; and if such a criticism can be passed upon the greatest of American historians, how can the least hope to escape, even when writing under the most favorable auspices, which was far from being the case in the preparation of this work? But it is not designed or desired to dwell upon this particular, further than to say that a. Great. Deal of matter of greater or less value was prepared which was necessarily excluded from the work in order to avoid the production of an exceedingly unwieldly volume. But even as it is, it is believed to possess some merit; how much, must be left to the kind and considerate judgment of the reader.

Excerpt from Centennial History of Cleveland A Brief notice of some facts connected with the early history of Connecticut is necessary in order to better appreciate and understand the history of Cleveland, therefore we turn back to the time when Gov. Wins-low, of Plymouth Colony, visited Connecticut in the year 1631 with a commission from Lord Say and Seal, Lord Brook and several other noblemen interested in the Connecticut patent, for the purpose of erecting a fort on the Connecticut River. He was, undoubtedly, the first white man to view the scenery along that beautiful river. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Quarter Centennial Historical Sketch By the "Great Fire" in Chicago, October, 1871, there were lost the Records of the Board of Directors of the Chicago Theological Seminary, also the Records of their Executive Committee, the official Reports of the Treasurer and Agent, as well as many other important documents. In consequence only a meager History of the Seminary did the Committee, appointed for that purpose, count themselves able to make. They have, however, been gratefully surprised to find how much reliable history they still could gather. This required minute search in private diaries and letters, in written memoranda, published periodicals and the fortunately preserved duplicates of Reports made by Mr. Kedzie during his Agency, and involved also extensive correspondence. Often long search and much correspondence has been necessary to settle a date or fact, which could be recorded in a single line. The Committee have spared no pains to make this History accurate. For all important dates and facts they found some printed document, written memorandum, or personal testimony, on which they could rely. Thus they have been able to gather the important facts concerning the organization and work of the Seminary thus far, which, else, were likely to perish with this generation. A review of those early times awakens conflicting emotions in the minds of those participating therein. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
