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
