HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
By Henry E. Bourne and E. J. Benton
Prominence is given to economic and social history and to the great westward movement; military details are subordinate; matters of mere traditional value have been eliminated, thus leaving space for a more full treatment of matters of present importance. The book is pre-eminently fitted to prepare pupils now in grammar schools for intelligent entrance upon the duties of citizenship. It is noteworthy that the authors have included an adequate treatment of the West, which previous books have generally neglected. The treatment of the South is sympathetic and informing. The book is unique. This judgment applies not only to the form in which it is presented, but also to the type of service that it renders to the rising generation.
