Three minute read apparently. I may have memorized it as a fifth grader, but I think history lessons--especially reading original documents--carry different significance when read as an adult because you can compare it to how the world looks outside of a classroom.
This is a very useful collection of the key documents from the founding of the USA. In addition to the Declaration and Constitution, it includes documents that are not as familiar: the Articles of Confederation and the Treaty of Paris. The book would, however, have been helped by some introductory text for each document.
"Acts of Congress, Rules and Regulations, Descriptions of the Buidlings, Philadelphia, February, 1875". Front cover reads "International Exhibition 1876. Fairmount Park, Philadelphia".
Contains rules and regulations for exhibitors with some nice illustrations and attractive fold-out charts and maps.
