Excerpt from Willard's Historic Guide: Guide to the Temple of Time; And Universal History for Schools

And in no way does the author conceive that she could better serve her country, than in awakening a taste for history, and putting its grand outline more within the power of universal acquisition, in every common school, throughout our wide republic. This, if it stands, must remain by avoiding the rocks, upon which all former republics have foundered. History must make them known; and not merely to here and there a solitary statesman. WE the people must have an enlightened will; or power with us, may, like a steam-engine on a wrong track, carry destruction In its course. And if the people are to understand history, then it must be taught In the people 3 schools.
