Each volume collates significant historical events, figures, and documents, making it a valuable resource for students, teachers, and history enthusiasts alike. The opening of the text outlines the author's intent and structure of the work, emphasizing its dual aims: to exhibit the better literature of history and to arrange it in an organized manner for easy reference. Larned describes the meticulous selection process, where he has gathered and preserved notable writings from various historians and specialists, while also including essential documents such as charters and proclamations.
