Preface To The Revised Edition

In the present edition the record of events is brought down from the close of 1882, where it ceased in the original publication (1884), to the [close of 1910. Between 1882 and 1904 this continuation is mainly the k of Mr. David M. Matteson, to whom the editor is likewise In ed for the general supervision of the issue of 1905. Attention is called to the cross references which now connect the various divisions of national history.

The editor heartily thanks those readers who have notified him of errors in the book. All discovered errors have now been corrected, and it is hoped that any which have escaped detection will be made mown by whoever may find them.

January, 1911.
