HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
in one volume. prepared under the di-

and embodying the latest conceptions

This history will be
Defnitively Neutralized
after the method devised by the Hon
William J. Brennings.
In Offering this monumental work
to the public the publishers recognize
no better means of making known its
advantages than by the inclusion in
this advertisement of the subioined
letter from
Messrs. Woodson and Brennings.
Mess. Bunkum and Bunko. Gents;
We gladly accept your retainer TO
write "A history of the United States.
properly denatured for the use of ali
neutrals
1t will be much easier for us to
write this history than it would be tc
write history in which everything
was to be included. and as we are do
l ing the job on contract. and not by
/ DAVIS labor, this aspect of the project
appeals to MS with peculiar force,
and contributes not a little to the fe-
/ licitOus feelings which now envelo1
us.
Our first care shall be. following the
methods advocated by the distinguish
ed scholar Brennings. whose author
ity is undisputed wherever the Chau-
tauQua salute waves. TO omit all ref
erence to grim visaged war from the
work
This we shall do because each war
has left wounds that do not heal, or
may be- reoponed by diligent effort,
and it is plain that rejoicing over the
successful outcome of armed strife,
mourning over defeat. celebrating the
deeds of rude men who participated in
its turmoil. or otherwise reyiving mem
orics of the inception. progress and
final close of struggles, must violate
that strict neutrality TO which the
high plane of civilization We have
reached dodicates to us.
You will see how greatly this devo-
ton to a new idealism will reduce our
labor. and thus ease our path, when
YOU recall that, Omtting the war OF
the Revolution. the army of the United
States has taken part in no less than
fifty-eight operations deemed worthy
of inclusion under the title Important
! Campaigns and Expeditions" while
the navy has at least as many interest
ing exploits to its credit.
Your fear that the omission OF these
regrottable facts from the history may
reduce that work to dimensions max
ing it unattractive to the public has re-
ceived our earnest thought. We dc
not state your apprehensiOns and for
this sound reason
We are convinced that the shorter
anything from our pens is the more
. avid the public will be to possess it
In truth. it has been suggested thai
the two words 81 resign" preixed tc
, the signature of either Of US would
, constitute his most valuable and en-.
, during contribution to literature.

Z you. as our publisher, have SOM
! rights, particularly as your check ha'

Z produce a volume of sufficient bulk w

aria. give you permission to bind Will
