Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lossing's Complete History of the United States, From the Discovery of the American Continent to the Present Time, Vol. 1: With a Valuable Concordance, Comprising a System of Cross-References Interwoven With Foot-Notes Throughout the Work, and Much Important Supplementary Matter
The system of concordance interwoven with the notes throughout the entire work is of great importance to the reader. When a fact is named which bears a relation to another fact elsewhere recorded in the volume, a reference is made to the page where such fact is mentioned. A knowledge of this relationship of separate events is often essential to a clear view of the subject, and without this concordance, a great deal of time would be spent in searching for that relationship. With the concordance the matter may be found in a moment. Favorable examples of the utility of this new feature may be found on page 289. If strict attention shall be given to these references, the whole subject will be presented to the mind of the reader in a comprehensive aspect of unity not to be obtained by any other method.
