Copyright, 1881, by BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT, AUSTIN ABBOTT, LYMAN ABBOTT, and EDWARD ABBOTT. THE BOYS AT THE MILL. 2 PREFACE. The development of the moral sentiments in the human heart, in early life,—and every thing in fact which relates to the formation of character,—is determined in a far greater degree by sympathy, and by the influence of example, than by formal precepts and didactic instruction. If a boy hears his father speaking kindly to a robin in the spring,—welcoming its coming and offering it food,—there arises at once in his own mind, a feeling of kindness toward the bird, and toward all the animal creation, which is produced by a sort of sympathetic action, a power somewhat similar to what in physical philosophy is called induction. On the other hand, if the father, instead of feeding the bird, goes eagerly for a gun, in order that he may shoot it, the boy will sympathize in that desire, and growing up under such an influence, there will be gradually formed within him, through the mysterious tendency of the youthful heart to vibrate in unison with hearts that are near, a disposition to kill and destroy all helpless beings that come within his power. There is no need of any formal instruction in either case. Of a thousand children brought up under the former of the above- described influences, nearly every one, when he sees a bird, will wish to go and get crumbs to feed it, while in the latter case, nearly every one will just as certainly look for a stone.

D.D. PREFATORY NOTE THE substance of the following sketch was first pre­ sented to the congregation of St. James's, Cambridge, in four discourses, on the Sunday mornings of Advent; i,904. A number of circumstances combined to invest that year with a distinctive anniversary character. On the evening of Christmas Day, I 904; it would be just forty years since the first service of St. James's Mission was held in Atwill's Hall. On the evening of Saturday, the 31st of December, I 904, it would be just forty years to the day of the 'Yeek, as well as the day of the month, since·the rector came to live in Cambridge, taking up his pastoral work in another quar­ ter of the city, in another denominational relation. On the 22nd of December, 1904, it would be just twenty-five years since canonically -a..i:id by title he became rector of the Parish. On the 8th of January, I 904, it was just twenty-five years since his ordination to the Diaconate. For personal reasons, there£ore, as well as parochial, the year I 904 had an anniversary character for both people and pastor. And the four commemorative discourses were so tim_ed that their conclusion was made coincident with the formal opening of the " Edw~rd Abbott Porch," at the west end of the Church, which the appreciative affection of the Parish had caused to be erected during the year as a me­ morial of the ministry of their fourth rector.

A Wars of the Roses Primer with much conjecture.....By M.JacobsenJacobb Abbot wrote non-fiction geared towards young adults and has a rather extensive British-history series of books, of which Margaret of Anjou is a part. Abbott's writing is highly readable...easy to follow and make sense of the very convoluted personalities in Margaret's story.In what I am fairly certain was an intent to draw the interest of a young adult audience, Abbott presupposes too much about the historical figures he writes about. Frequently, for example, he tells us what a character was thinking (ie, their motivations) at the time, something that it is impossible for any historian to know. Additionally, Abbott freely includes many unsubstantiated rumors of the times, often presenting them as if they were cold, hard facts. Again, I'm certain he does this to engage his young audience's attention, but for those who want facts about Margaret of Anjou, this is not the book for you.What I might suggest, however, is that you give this quick read a go in order to get a firm idea of who the major players were and what their relationships to each other entailed.

    1 GENGHIS KHAN BY JACOB ABBOTT NEW YORK AND LONDON HARPER & BROTHERS PUBLISHERS 1901 Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year one thousand eight hundred and sixty, by HARPER & BROTHERS, in the Clerk's office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. Copyright, 1888, by BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT, AUSTIN ABBOTT, LYMAN ABBOTT, and EDWARD ABBOTT. PREFACE. The word khan is not a name, but a title. It means chieftain or king. It is a word used in various forms by the different tribes and nations that from time immemorial have inhabited Central Asia, and has been applied to a great number of potentates and rulers that have from time to time arisen among them. Genghis Khan was the greatest of these princes. He was, in fact, one of the most renowned conquerors whose exploits history records. As in all other cases occurring in the series of histories to which this work belongs, where the events narrated took place at such a period or in such a part of the world that positively reliable and authentic information in respect to them can now no longer be obtained, the author is not responsible for the actual truth of the narrative which he offers, but only for the honesty and fidelity with which he has compiled it from the best sources of information now within reach. GENGHIS KHAN. CHAPTER I. PASTORAL LIFE IN ASIA. Four different modes of life enumerated. There are four several methods by which the various communities into which the human race is divided obtain their subsistence from the productions of the earth, each of which leads to its own peculiar system of social organization, distinct in its leading characteristics from those of all the rest.

Copyright, 1880, by BENJAMIN VAUGHAN ABBOTT, AUSTIN ABBOTT, LYMAN ABBOTT, and EDWARD ABBOTT. THE HARPIES. 2 PREFACE In writing the series of historical narratives to which the present work pertains, it has been the object of the author to furnish to the reading community of this country an accurate and faithful account of the lives and actions of the several personages that are made successively the subjects of the volumes, following precisely the story which has come down to us from ancient times. The writer has spared no pains to gain access in all cases to the original sources of information, and has confined himself strictly to them. The reader may, therefore, feel assured in perusing any one of these works, that the interest of it is in no degree indebted to the invention of the author. No incident, however trivial, is ever added to the original account, nor are any words even, in any case, attributed to a speaker without express authority. Whatever of interest, therefore, these stories may possess, is due solely to the facts themselves which are recorded in them, and to their being brought together in a plain, simple, and connected narrative.
