SCHOOL HISTORY OF THE UNITED
STATES. By John Bach McMaster,
professor Of American history in the
University of Pennsylvania. American
Book company, New York, Cincinnati.
Chicago.
Notwithstanding the great nunper Of
school histories. this one has been well
coined with great interest because Of the
grasp Of the subject shown in the authors
recent popular historical writings. Prob
ably no name stands higher than his today.
Much matter Of such volume must be
detail of dry facts that have been used
many many times. But we are bound to
say that there Is here as little of the COM
monplace In treatment as was possible.
The colonial period has been treated as
the childhood of the nation, and the story.
which is brought down to the present al
ministration, is carried on by strong sweep
of recital that is very entertaining. 1t Is
book that will be accredited.
