American History
and Politics

The ia American contributors who
AVE shared in the undertaking. and
the many European contributors who
have investigated the early periods in
which Spanish, English, French. Dutcn
and Russian rulers governed parts of

the one great authority on American
histC.y The general narrative is
admirably condensed in the article
United States which is no longer
than two ordinary octave volumes.
Separate articles deal with the history
of the North American continent as
whole of the Indian tribes, of each of
the great wars. of the separate states
and cities, of our possessions abroad.

great political parties and OF the vari-
Gus factions which have come and gone,
f the great men who constructed the
nation and preserved it when its unity
or prosperity was threatened: and of
the development of the countrys
resources. No American citizen knows

tons past and present. and how care
fully he should consider his share of

Is. An Inexhaustible
Digest of Facts for
Lawyers

The new Britannica is an inds-
pensable Library for lawyers. who find

cases turn upon questions of fact, not
of law. The authority of the Britain
Mica has repeatedly been recognized
by the federal and state courts in
cases turning upon some question
altogether beyond the scope of juris
prudence. as in recent suit in an
Alaskan mining town. where the rights
OF Servian congregation were in
question. and the Britannica was
successfully cited to prove that the
Servian Church is not under the author
ity of the orthodox Russian Church.
In recent opinion handed down by the

thief Justice quoted from the Britain

a great many chemical substances and
processes described in the new Britain
MICA are SO novel that no previous book
of any kind has mentioned them. or
printed the words which had to be
invented to describe them. and it has
been estimated that there are over
