pha: J. B. Lippincott Company.
| Within the last year or two there has
been written a good deal Of interesting
reading matter dealing with the early
life of the Republic and of the colonial
| period. Much of the matter that has
been given to the public bears the stamp
of hastiness and i'll preparation, and can
! hardly be classed as standard literature.
Anne Hollingsworth Wharton, however, in
|.''Social Life in the Early Republic has
| written historically and well. This lady
! has made profound study Of the colon
! ial period, and the previous volumes which
she has written dealing with the men,
! the politics and the tragic events Of that
most strenuous period of development and
! evolution was not only we'll received by
| the reading people, but caused them to
| look forward with much expectation to
| the present volume, which may be termed
! exhaustive.
