The author does not pretend to have presented anything like a continuous or complete history of the Nation. His effort has been to seize only on the salient events and conspicuous Characters, and to Weave their story in the metric setting of the sonnet forms.

He believes, however, that the broad contour of the Nation's life is comprehended Within the pic tures and portraits presented, and that the general reader will have his memory rekindled by the refer emees to the great events comprised by the poetic settings.

The appended notes are merely for the benefit of the general reader Who may desire to know more With regard to the references made than could be detailed in the sonnets.

If, perchance, the author may have struck a genuine note of patriotism that will key the reader to a pitch of higher enthusiasm for his country's primal principles and lofty ideals, he Will be hap pily repaid for his labor of love.
