"This little volume originated in the remembrance of the pleasure and improvement derived from the 'Biographical Alphabet, ' as it was often played in our dear home-circle at the South. It afforded recreation to those familiar with History and Biography, and was the means of interesting the young people in these studies."--Preface.
