The Democrat acknowledges the
receipt of book, emitted "The Making
of Iowa." from the pens Of former state
superintendent of public instruction,
Henry Sabin, and Edwin L. Sabin, his
son. We found time to give the volume
only acursory perusal, but it is written
in style at once engaging, its language
is simple and we do not hesitate to pro-
nounce it most excellent reading. We
think it should attain popularity in our
public schools as well as in our homes,

ner upon the topics in Iowa's history
which have hitherto been neglected by
our state historians.
