BANcRoFT's History OF THE UNITED STATES.
In abiding to the report that the fourth volume of
this mastery work may be expected to appear in
September next, the Boston Republican says that
the three volumes already published complete the
history of the Colonization of the United States, and
/. adds very justly: They have been regarded by
competent authorities at home and abroad, as among
the most splendid contributions to the historical lite
nature of our age. We are happy to know that Mr.
Bancroft has been most successful during his resi-
dence in England and in his visit to Paris, in OBJ
tanning materials of unexpected importance for the
history of the American Revolution. The leisure
which he will now have, will be devoted, as we
understand, to the completion of this great work.
We mistake much if the drama of Independence,
under his hands, does not assume new interest
and dignity
