Excerpt from Colonial Days: A Historical Reader In all work of this kind the sensuous imagination of the pupil must be called into play, for, unless he forms mental pictures of the events narrated, he will give no sympathetic response. To aid in this the artist and the publishers have cooperated with the author. The illustrations, the maps, and the typographical features of the book, all are designed to help the teacher in making real to the pupil the trials, dangers, and hard ships which are recounted in the following pages. It is hoped that the maps will be studied closely in con nection with the reading of the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
