( About the Book History texts study and interpret the pa...)
About the Book History texts study and interpret the past as it may be understood from written documents. The period before written records is called prehistory. Historians use a narrative to examine and analyse past events, and attempt to objectively determine the patterns of cause and effect. Historical studies are not an end in themselves, but also a way of providing perspective on events taking place in the present. Also in this Book History derives from Greek historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation". It is the study of the past as described in written documents, with events occurring before written records being considered prehistory. World history is generally considered a teaching topic rather than a research topic. There are many history text books of varying quality, with some addressing the teaching of history or historiography, the process of undertaking research in history.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Frank Bellew was born on April 18, 1828, in Kanpur, the son of an English officer.
Frank spent some years in France and England, and in 1850 came to the United States, where he was active in New York City for over thirty-five years. He brought into comic journalism a bit of the flavor of Punch, to which he contributed some small drawings in 1860, when he revisited England. In various attempts to found an American comic paper there appeared drawings signed by his familiar triangle which was sometimes blank, sometimes enclosed the name Bellew or the initials F. B. Such publications were the Lantern, his full-page political cartoons in which were quite in the Punch manner; Yankee Notions; New York Picayune; Nick-Nax; Vanity Fair (New York); Punchinello; Wild Oats; Texas Siftings. He has been credited with having had a hand in the founding of some of these journals. Last-page "comics" in Harper's Weekly and Scribner's Monthly also bore his signature, and for the Fifth Avenue Journal (1872) he drew a series of portraits-chargés, as the French call them "slightly tinged with the tincture of caricature, " that Journal had it - somewhat like those in the London Vanity Fair, or the "Puckographs" in Puck (New York).
Bellew even wrote and illustrated a volume on The Art of Amusing (1866), containing suggestions for parlor amusements of a somewhat elementary order. His forte was writing and sketching stories for children. As an illustrator he appeared in Harper's Magazine, T. W. Strong's Illustrated American News (1851), the first noteworthy publication of its kind here - and in books such as T. B. Gunn's Physiology of the New York Boarding-House (1857), Stephen C. Massett's Two Logs (1864), and John T. Irving's The Attorney (1853). The last was a not highly successful attempt to illustrate by etching, in the manner of the plates by Phiz and others in the Dickens-Ainsworth period in England. Bellew had an inexhaustible fund of ideas. His son Frank P. W. (1862 - 1894), better known as "Chip, " likewise had a "limitless invention, " to which John Ames Mitchell paid tribute. The son drew many droll designs for Life and other publications, a number being republished in volumes such as Chip's Dogs (1895). The work of both father and son provided amusement without slapstick vulgarity.
