This work is the result of an altogether new and original treatment of the American Revolution. The outward history of that period has been many times written, and is now, by a new school of American historians, being freshly re-written in the light of larger evidence, and after a more disinterested and judicial method. In the present work, for the first time in a systematic and complete way, is set forth the inward history of our Revolution,--the history of its ideas, its spiritual moods, its passions, as these uttered themselves at the time in the writings of the two parties of Americans who either promoted or resisted that great movement.

"Though more lengthy than most of the sketches in Professor Tyler's well-known 'History,' these monographs have much of the brevity of their original purpose; and they are marked by the same picturesqueness of treatment, the same vivacity of expression, and the same felicity of statement, that characterize the author's larger volumes."--_The Nation._
