By Edwin Erle Sparks, Ph.D., author of "The Expansion of the American People," etc. 2 volumes, fully illustrated. Cloth, net $2.70. Half leather, gilt top, net $3.20. (Postage, 30c.)
This narrative traces the gradual evolution of a confederated Republic under the laws of necessity; acknowledges that radical departures have been made from first ideals as a result of progress; takes into constant consideration the underlying forces of heredity and environment. In brief, these two volumes tell the story of the United States. They show how the phrase "the United States is" has been slowly and unconsciously evolved in the process of time from the early practice of saying "the United States are."

"The book is a worthy addition to a series which has included a number of first class monographs.... The author's English is clear and direct.... He uses excellent judgment in the selection and arrangement of his material, and he tells his story as one who knows the story well himself and who is able to make it plain to his readers.... Few works of fiction can boast of more undiluted romance than can be found in the history of South America."—The Providence Journal.
