copy Of Davidson''s school history Of South
Carolina. 1t is designed for use in common
schools, and presents in plain language, a

the written histories, the author has stated
mere facts without argument Or comment.
This work supplies great want in common
schools and being the production of son of

which he has become so much esteemed
