BY THE PUBLISHERS.

THE present Abridgment, made at our request, is not designed as a full abstract of the larger work from which it is taken. Much has been omitted altogether. The object, kept steadily in view, has been to give an authentic account of the colonization of the United States, in a simple and continued narrative, adapted to the young. It is hoped the volume may in private engage attention, and at school may serve usefully as a class-book for reading, or as a manual for instruction in the early history of the country.
