It bears all the marks of extensive investigation of the subject and impartiality in treating it, which distinguish the works of that Society, and is alike nervous, elegant, and perspicuous in its style. Perhaps there is no work extant which embodies in so small a compass so full and interesting account of those eventful times which marked the rise and progress of the American Revolution. But while it will be found exceedingly interesting to readers generally, it is undoubtedly especially well calculated to form a most useful School Book. And with the view of rendering it still more valuable in this respect, to the youth of this country, and of impressing its important facts still more deeply on their minds, a series of Questions has been prepared expressly for this edition, with considerable care and attention, by an old, experienced teacher. A number of valuable notes, designed to illustrate more clearly some of the more important leading events, has also been added, taken chiefly from Holmes's \u003cem\u003eAnnals of America\u003c\/em\u003e and Hale's \u003cem\u003eHistory of the United States\u003c\/em\u003e.\" - Advertisement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttributed to William Shepherd at WorldCat. If accurate, that is William Shepherd (1768-1847), b. \u0026amp; d. at Liverpool, England. He was a well-known dissenting minister of Unitarian belief, a teacher who was tutor to the family of the Rev. John Yates, opened a successful school, and took into his family the orphans of several friends. His political beliefs were anti-Tory and in support of human liberty. He published pamphlets, sermons, \"Systematic Education,\" \"The Fatal Effects of Religious Intolerance,\" and other works. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haaswurth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45256693710914,"sku":"ABE12459","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0191\/6066\/2082\/files\/DSC08660BackgroundRemoved.png?v=1790088904","url":"https:\/\/www.haaswurth.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-american-revolution-1834","provider":"Haaswurth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
