Illustrative of the History of the United States 1776-1861 Edited with Notes by WILLIAM MACDONALD 12mo Cloth $2.25, net "It is a valuable book to students of American History, and, indeed, to all persons who care to discuss our present problems in their historical bearings. We can think of no public document, from the promulgation of the Declaration of Independence to the adoption of the Constitution of the Confederate States, to which frequent reference is made, which is not at least summarized in this volume. The summaries, furthermore, whether of judicial decisions, reports, treatises, messages, or resolutions, are admirably made. It is an invaluable book for every reference library." The Outlook. "His aim is to furnish a selection of text available for class use. The need of such a collection is impressed on the minds of the teachers of history in colleges and high schools, for text-books and lectures abound in allusions to, or abstracts of, documents which can really seem living only to those who read the text." - The Nation. "The recent report of the Committee of Seven of the American Historical Association emphasized the importance of the judicious use of the sources as illustrative material, for the purpose of 'vivifying and vitalizing' the period studied. All progressive teachers must already have realized for themselves the peculiar force of this recommendation as applied to the study of American history, hence they will welcome Professor MacDonald's collection of documents. The selections have been carefully and judiciously made." Annals of the American Academy. "... The collection of documents exhibiting our foreign relations is admirable. I do not see how the space could have been better utilized. The book is to be highly commended. It is a well-winnowed collection of useful material for giving the air of reality to our history." |
