"He paints the confused scenes of the period he has chosen to describe—its great and little passions, its atrocious and its noble men, its terrible sieges and picturesque festivals, bridals in the midst of massacres, its fights upon the sea and under the sea, its torture-fires and blood-baths—in vivid colors, with a bold free hand, and with a masterly knowledge of effect. Whatever was dramatic in those fierce conflicts he has seized; whatever is peculiar or striking in character, he has penetrated; whatever is significant of time or place, he appropriates: while he has never forgotten the great purpose of history, which is the illustration of moral power." _P. Godwin, Out of the Past, page 439._

ANDREWS, ELISHA BENJAMIN. History of the United States. New York: C. Scribner's Sons. 1894. 2 volumes.

Not such a history, either in style of writing or skill of handling, as should have been expected from the President of Brown University, but yet to be welcomed until something better comes to supply the need of an intermediate work, between the school textbooks and the histories of special periods.

BANCROFT, GEORGE. History of the United States of America from the discovery of the Continent: author's last revision. New York: Appleton & Co. 1883-5. 5 volumes. [See, also, next page.]

Ends at the closing of the War of Independence. "The last volumes are limited in scope, giving a history of little but military and diplomatic movements during the Revolution. Perhaps it is as well. Bancroft's talents for the narration of military and diplomatic history were of a very high order. He had great skill in marshalling large arrays of facts, good judgment, and a lucid and picturesque style. On the other hand, a history of popular movements, of public opinion and of tie internal development of the United States, would exhibit at the greatest disadvantage the author's faults." _J. F. Jameson, History of Historical Writing in America, page 108._

BANCROFT, HUBERT H. History of the Pacific States of North America. San Francisco: A. L. Bancroft & Co. 1882-90. 34 volumes.

"From twelve to twenty accomplished linguists, we are told, have been constantly employed in Mr. Bancroft's service since 1869. Secretaries have all this time been reading, translating, summarizing, cataloguing, and indexing the whole collection. The result, attained at the cost of half a million dollars, is a mass of systematized information, such as must make the users and the desirers of historical materials elsewhere deeply envious. … Mr. Bancroft has prepared from these materials, and published, a gigantic 'History of the Pacific States of America,' in thirty-four unusually large volumes." _J. F. Jameson, History of Historical Writing in America, page 153._

BRYANT, WILLIAM CULLEN, and SYDNEY H. GAY. Popular history of the United States, to the end of the first century of the Union. New York: Scribner, A. & Co. 1876. 4 volumes.

Understood to have been substantially the work of Mr. Gay. Mr. Bryant's contribution to it having been very slight. Although it brings nowhere, perhaps, new light from original studies to bear on American history, it is a work of much merit.

BRYCE, JAMES. The American Commonwealth; 3d edition, completely revised, with additional chapters. London and New York: Macmillan & Co. 1895. 2 volumes.

"One may doubt if such a living picture of Democracy in all its ways, in its strength and its weakness, its dangers and its future, in all its strange nakedness of appearance, and its amazing vitality and force, in its golden hopes, and its simplicity and limitations as of a raw, lucky, inexperienced youth entering on a matchless inheritance for good or for evil, has ever yet been drawn by a competent hand." _Frederic Harrison, Mr.Bruce's "American Commonwealth" (Nineteenth Century, January 1889)._

CAMPBELL, DOUGLAS. The Puritan in Holland, England and America.

A work which has commanded attention to the influence exerted by the Dutch on the development of ideas and institutions in the United States, and which has done so with good effect, though with some exaggeration.

McMASTER, JOHN BACH. History of the people of the United States from the Revolution to the Civil War. New York: D. Appleton & Co. 1883-95. volumes 1-4.

"Mr. McMaster's book is a valuable contribution to our history, and will be the cause of work better than its own. His industrious collection of materials, and his effective arrangement and courageous presentation of them, cannot fail to stimulate other workers in the same field. But he does not always discriminate as to the value of authorities, and his history suffers somewhat in consequence." _Mellen Chamberlain, McMaster's History (Andover Review, June. 1886)._

POPULAR HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. 1875-8.

"Before Mr. Roosevelt began his work, there was no satisfactory account of our westward expansion as a whole. … Mr. Roosevelt had the historical insight and the good fortune to make use of a vast mass of original material. … These abundant materials [he] has used with the skill of a practised historian." _The Nation, March 28, 1895._

SCHOULER, JAMES. History of the United States of America under the Constitution. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. volumes 1-5.

A sound, painstaking piece of historical work, but without much literary attractiveness.

SMITH, GOLDWIN. The United States; an outline of political history, 1492-1871. New York: Macmillan & Co. 1893.

There is probably no other living man who could put so much into a bird's-eye view of American history, and put it into English of such classical fineness, as Professor Goldwin Smith has done in this little book.

WINSOR, JUSTIN, editor. Narrative and critical history of America. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1886-9. 8 volumes.

"With its chapters of historical narrative by our most learned and able historical scholars, each writing upon his own special field, and with its critical essays upon the sources of information, it seems without doubt to be the most important and useful contribution over yet made to American historical science. It splendidly sums up the historical labors of a century." _J. F. Jameson, History of Historical Writing in America, p. 156._

FISKE, JOHN. The American Revolution. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1891. 2 volumes.

The War of Independence. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1889.

The last named of these two is a small book which preceded Dr. Fiske's larger history of the American Revolution, treating the same subject in a simpler way, especially for young readers. There is the same delightful clearness of narrative, and the same large intelligence of view, in both works, and they easily take the first place among histories of the Revolution.

The critical period of American history, 1783-89. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. 1888.

"It is not too much to say that the period of five years following the peace of 1783 was the most critical moment in all the history of the American people. The dangers from which we were saved in 1788 were even greater than the dangers from which we were saved in 1865.' This proposition Mr. Fiske makes abundantly good and he has turned it into a text for one of the most interesting chapters of history that has been written for many a day." _John Morley, Review (Nineteenth Century, August, 1889)._
