This e-book contains the complete makers of history written by Jacob Abbott. The following was from Abraham Lincoln regarding this series.
—Abraham Lincoln: "I want to thank you and your brother for Abbott’s series of Histories. I have not education enough to appreciate the profound works of voluminous historians, and if I had, I have no time to read them. But your series of Histories gives me, in brief compass, just that knowledge of past men and events which I need. I have read them with the greatest interest. To them I am indebted for about all the historical knowledge I have."
