Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Virginia, for the Use of Schools In the preparation of this volume for the use of schools, I have been actuated by an earnest desire to place before her youth a faithful record of the past history of the old Mother of States and Statesmen, a record so full of honor that her children may well be proud of it. I have attempted no dry details, no po litical dissertations, but have adopted the familiar style of a story from the stores of incident, in which the past of Virginia is so rich, such narrations as would be most apt to stamp upon the youthful mind the graver facts of history, interspersing such explana tions as were absolutely necessary with a simplicity and clearness which will I hope, render them easy of com prehension even to the youngest student of these pages.
