Attention may also be given the second year to a study of industrial history since 1790 and to the elements of civil government.

It is the author's earnest hope that teachers will regard the early chapters as introductory.
Miss Annie Bliss Chapman, for many years a successful teacher of history in grammar schools, has kindly provided a limited number of suggestive questions, and has also made many excellent suggestions to teachers.
These are all appended to the several divisions of the work.

The author has added a few questions and a few suggestions of his own.

He has also altered some of Miss Chapman's questions.

Whatever there is commendable in this apparatus should be credited to Miss Chapman.
