Gloruious beyond historic parallel have been the achievements of our national career. To worthily record them is the scholar's pride. To be familiar with them is the patriot's duty and delight.

Michael Angelo wrought into nine most wonderful frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel all the memorale events of the world's first thousand years.

This has been our author's endeavor. The result is a gallery of historical frescoes in which may be seen all those splendid deeds and mighty men that have made up our greatness.
Our national progress has been most exciting and dramatic.
