The attention of Normal instructors, Superintendents and Teachers is invited to the peculiar educative value of the American History Leaflets series when used for supplementary reading and reference as adjuncts to the regular text-book in United States history. The matter comprised in the Leaflets consists of reprints of famous documents that were the mainspring of political action, or the resultants of such activity. The American History Leaflets are thus of great value for giving that particularity and local color to the important events of our history which the limited space of most text-books forbids. Pupils using them will thus obtain a more intelligent idea of the epoch under consideration. The American History Leaflets are issued under the editorial supervision of Albert Bushnell Hart and Edward Channing, Professors of American History in Harvard University, and each number contains an Introduction by the Editors, with a bibliography for use in further investigation. The numbers more particularly adapted for common school use are: No. 1.-The Letter of Columbus to Luis de Sant Angel announcing his Discovery, with Extracts from his Journal. A familiar letter addressed to the Spanish gentleman who befriended Columbus. No. 8.-The Exact Text of the Constitution of the United States.
