Conforming to this requirement of the State Board of Education,
the author has diligently sought aid and counsel in the effort
to perfect this work.  To Mrs.  C.  P.  Spencer, E.  J.  Hale, Esq.,
of New York, and Hon.  Montford McGehee, Commissioner of
Agriculture, the work is indebted for many valuable suggestions,
but still more largely to Col.  W.  L.  Saunders, Secretary of
State, who has aided assiduously not only in its revision, but
in its progress through the press. 

The teacher of North Carolina History will be greatly aided in
the work by having a wall map of North Carolina before the
class, and to this end the publishers have prepared a good and
accurate school map, which will be furnished at a special low
price.
