Excerpt from Grandfather's Chair: A History for Youth In writing this ponderous tome, the authors desire has been to describe the eminent characters and remarkable events of our early annals, in such a form and style, that the Young might make acquaintance with them of their own accord. For this purpose, while ostensibly relating the adventures of a chair, he has endeavoured to keep a distinct and unbroken thread of authentic history. The chair is made to pass from one to another of those personages, of whom he thought it most desirable for the young reader to have vivid and familiar ideas, and whose lives and actions would best enable him to give picturesque sketches of the times.
