Preface

This book is respectfully submitted to the teachers and pupils of our public schools, with a hope that it may prove beneficial to all ; to teachers by assist¬ ing them in instilling into the minds of their pupils the more important facts of Civil Government ; to pupils by enabling them to select from an exhaustive treatise upon this subject what is essential to be learned and what is simply explanatory.

Teachers will find this book especially adapted for use in preparing their pupils for the Regents’ examination.

Those desiring to pass the State uniform exami¬ nation in this subject will find this book very helpful.

In this work simply the facts are given, with¬ out any exhaustive explanation. It is expected that the teacher may add much interest to any lesson assigned by supplementing it with items brought from some larger text book.

PREFACE.

It is the duty of the teacher to endeavor to teach the pupil to think, and by so doing the pupil will have no difficulty in remembering.

The author would especially thank the many teachers who have so kindly received the previous editions of this work, and presents them this edition upon entirely new plates, and revised to date, believing that they will find it especially adapted to their needs.
