Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. Also in this Book United States history began with the migrations of Indigenous people prior to 15,000 BC. Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition enabled European colonization, with most colonies formed after 1600. By the 1770s, 13 British colonies held 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachians. The British government imposed new taxes after 1765 and would not agree to the colonists having a say in their determination. The American War of Independence, 1775–1783, ensued, resulting in independence, and another war was declared against Britain in 1812. The next 50 years saw the expansion of American states and territories through the west, however growth was curtailed by the costly American Civil War, which broke out in 1861 over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. By 1865 some 620,000 people died, making it the most costly in US history. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. The next decades up to World War 1 saw large migrations from Europe and massive growth in the US economy. The US had a short but decisive influence on World War 1, suffered during the Great Depression, and had an even greater decisive influence on the outcome of World War 2. The US then engaged in a Cold War with its military and ideological adversary, the USSR, which disintegrated in 1991. Over the 20th century the US was not just a dynamo of technological advancement, but also contributed greatly to world growth.

He was the son of the Rev. Oliver and Lucy (Hill) Everett and brother of Edward Everett, was born in Boston, Massachussets, where his father was minister of the New South Church.
He graduated from Harvard in 1806.
After graduating from Harvard in 1806, being the youngest member of his class and also the one in highest standing, he taught for a time at Phillips Exeter Academy and studied law in the office of John Quincy Adams.
In 1809, when John Quincy Adams was appointed minister to Russia, Everett accompanied him as private secretary, remaining there for two years.
In 1815-16 he was secretary of the American legation at The Hague. Returning to The Hague in 1818 as charge d'affaires, he served there until 1824.
When Adams became president in 1825, Everett was appointed minister to Spain, and held that position for four years. His instructions from Henry Clay, secretary of state, required him to urge upon the Spanish government the importance of recognizing the independence of her revolted colonies in the New World (American State Papers, Foreign Relations, V, 866 ff. ); and he prepared an elaborate memorandum for this purpose, dated Jan. 20, 1826 (Ibid. , VI, 1006 - 14).
The question of whether Spain would be able to hold Cuba and Porto Rico was one of considerable concern at that time.
In a confidential communication to President Adams, November 30, 1825, Everett proposed that the United States lend Spain a large sum of money, taking Cuba as security (Cuba: The Everett Letters on Cuba, 1897). Everett's extensive diplomatic experience bore fruit in two volumes: Europe (1822), and America (1827).
Each is a general survey of the principal powers of the several continents, "with conjectures on their future prospects. " They attracted considerable attention and were translated into several languages. During this period he also published New Ideas on Population, with Remarks on the Theories of Malthus and Godwin (1823).
Upon his return to America, he acquired (1830) a controlling interest in the North American Review, and succeeded Jared Sparks as its editor.
During the five years in which he had charge of it he did much in improving its quality, but it was not a financial success, and at the end of this time he found himself heavily embarrassed.
From this time on, his ties with Massachusetts were severed. For a brief period he served as a confidential agent of the government in Cuba. Later he was president of Jefferson College, in Louisiana, but soon resigned on account of ill health.
In 1845, at the beginning of Polk's administration, he was appointed commissioner to China, the first representative of the United States to be designated under the treaty with China which had just been negotiated by Caleb Cushing.
Forced by illness to turn back from his journey thither, he started again as soon as he felt that his health permitted, but died in Canton not long after his arrival (Chinese Repository, July 1847).
The financial and political embarrassment that he caused his popular brother brought him disesteem in Massachusetts that has tended to obscure his creditable earlier career as a diplomat and an editor.
His articles for the North American Review and other publications, collected in two volumes of Critical and Miscellaneous Essays (1845 - 46), treat of literary, philosophical, and political topics after the manner of the British quarterlies of the period. The Poems (1845) are almost entirely imitations and translations.

His standing in the community suffered further from the fact that, although he had served in the state legislature for several terms as a Whig, he left that party and joined the Democrats; and his activity in the state elections in 1839 was believed to have contributed to his brother's failure to be reelected governor (P. R. Frothingham, Life of Edward Everett, 1925, pp. 154-55).
He was a member of the Anthology Club, and during the last months of its existence, one of the editors of the Monthly Anthology (Mott, post, pp. 253 ff. ) .
Everett was a man of ability and industry, but unstable.
In September of 1816 he was married to Lucretia Orne Peabody.
