Excerpt from Great Events: Described by Distinguished Historians, Chroniclers, and Other Writers The Compiler of this Volume has long been convinced, that one of the most effective means of forming a strong character, awakening generous impulses, and invigorating the mind for future action, is, to encourage an early familiarity with great events, and with those prominent men, whose bold deeds or persevering exertions were crowned with lasting effects, or whose loftiness of purpose renders them inspiring examples. He had, accordingly, made out a list of passages, in which, distinguished historians, eyewitnesses, or other writers of merit, have described events of historical moment and of thrilling interest. The striking forms and characteristic images of such narratives address themselves directly to the minds of the young, and the impression of a distinct picture is left by them, as the conception of a master artist is embodied upon his canvass. This compilation was originally intended to serve him in instructing his own son. When he was invited, therefore, to contribute to the series of publications, of which this Volume is intended to form a part, he thought that, some of the extracts, selected for his own household use, and therefore with at least a parental solicitude, might possibly prove adapted to the improvement of the rising generation at large.
