Queen of Republics, or, A standard history of the United States from the discovery of the American continent to the present time ..

The purpose and value of this wonderful book, published in 1800, is best expressed in the last paragraph of the Preface:

>"The book is offered to the public in the sincere hope that it may induce the readers to take to heart the lessons which our history teaches, and to set a higher value upon the precious heritage of constitutional libety which our fathers won for us with their blood, and handed down to us in trust for our children's children."
