"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.
