CHAPTER VIII: History Astigmatic
12/13

Forman's History of the United States.

Montgomery's An Elementary American History.
Montgomery's The Beginner's American History.

White's Beginner's History of the United States.
If the reader has followed me from the beginning, he will recollect a letter, parts of which I quoted, from a correspondent who spoke of Montgomery's history, giving passages in which a fair and adequate recognition of Pitt and our English sympathizers and their opposition to George III is made.

This would seem to indicate a revision of the work since Mr.Altschul published his lists, and to substantiate the hope I expressed in my original article, and which I here repeat.

Surely the publishers of these books will revise them! Surely any patriotic American publisher and any patriotic board of education, school principal, or educator, will watch and resist all propaganda and other sinister influence tending to perpetuate this error of these school histories! Whatever excuse they once had, be it the explanation I have offered above, or some other, there is no excuse to-day.
