But we need not go outside of the United States to find examples of heroism and valor that make the pages of history glow with interest. There were the farmers of Lexington who, in 1775, fired “the shot heard round the world”--a shot that gave Americans a great country in which to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And we cannot forget Paul Jones, who, when his little ship was about to sink, answered the commander of the great _Serapis_, who invited him to surrender, with the immortal words, “I have not yet begun to fight!” It is of special interest, in the light of present-day happenings, to recall such patriots as Henry Clay, who, when asked the question in 1812, “What are we to gain by war?” replied, “What are we not to lose by peace--commerce, character, a nation’s best treasure, honor?” There is the spirit of true patriotism for you! Get acquainted with the great men and the great deeds of the past, for that is the only way to understand and appreciate the men and deeds of the present. Lay a firm foundation for your understanding of the World War by studying previous great wars, warriors and statesmen of the world. To know history, however, it is no longer necessary to spend long hours poring over musty volumes of closely-printed facts--unsifted facts, with the vitally interesting ones often buried so deep in wearisome details that it is slow work finding them! The Mentor History Set has been made up by such authoritative writers as Albert Bushnell Hart, Ida M. Tarbell, and George Willis Botsford. It gives you in compact form the very information you should have to obtain a concise knowledge of history past and present, besides over four hundred unusual half-tones, and one hundred and twenty beautiful full-page gravures printed in sepia tone.
