The Life of Stephen O. Douglas

"Mr. Gardner has added little to our knowledge of Douglas... but he is deserving of some credit for collecting this and presenting it in readable form.

The Brothers' War

"Less anxiety on the author's part and a more careful presentation of material would have been more effective.

The United States of America: Volume II. From the Civil War

"This is the second in a two-volume set designed by Dr. Muzzey to supply the need for a suitable college text in United States history… It is comparatively easy for a writer having unlimited space to set down all the facts of an episode in chronological order. That requires little skill. But to condense a volume into a chapter, or a chapter into a paragraph and leave out nothing of importance requires a different kind of ability and of higher order... Here Dr. Muzzey has been singularly successful.

Stephen A. Douglas: A Study in American Politics

"[The author] holds a brief for no man or party but has conscientiously aimed to present the situation as it appeared to Douglas and his contemporaries.

A Political and Social History of the United States

"These two volumes designed primarily as a text for college classes, though excellent reading for the general public, emphasize the growing demand for economic and social history in place of the old political outline… Throughout the volume there is a successful attempt to present the material in pleasing form and at the same time there is maintained a careful regard for the exact facts.

Professor Meany as I Knew Him

"Professor Edmond S. Meany, executive head of the Department of History in the University of Washington since 1897, and Founder and editor of the Washington Historical Quarterly died suddenly on the morning of April 22, 1935… On Sunday, May 5, a Memorial service was held by the University of Washington. The three addresses delivered by his colleagues on that occasion are here printed.

Some Evidences of the Influence of Politics on the Efficienct of the Army, 1861-65

"When McClellan took charge of the army it was in a pretty badly demoralized condition.

History of the United States of America

"The first edition of this book was published in 1904, and it has been very widely used as a supplementary text, and by the general reader… The new book follows the general lines of the first edition but there have been many restatements of the subject matter. In some cases the chapters have been entirely re-written and new materials have been added... It had a very wide circle of readers and it is gratifying to note the great improvement in accuracy.

The Constitution in School and College

"This book should be particularly interesting to those who believe that the Constitution and the fundamental principles of our form of government should be taught in the schools… [The author] has done a prodigious amount of very careful work, and it would seem clear that to compel, or try to compel, teachers to do what they are not equipped to do must result in failure.

Our Constitutions, National and State

"This interesting little volume- an Elementary Text in Government and Citizenship, for use in the State of Washington- is designed to meet the requirements of schools that feel the need of inculcating in their pupils a truer appreciation of our system of government and an understanding of the duties of active citizenship... It may be questioned whether a study of the constitution- one of the most difficult fields of law- can be so simplified as to be of very great value to students in the elementary schools, but assuming that some adequate understanding is attainable by young pupils this book should adequately meet their needs.
