“A small volume comprising the lectures delivered by Professor McLaughlin at Wesleyan university. This series of lectures was the first to be given on the George Slocum Bennett foundation ‘for the promotion of a better understanding of national problems and of a more perfect realization of the responsibilities of citizenship.’ The author tells us in the preface that his purpose ‘is simply to recount a few salient experiences which helped to make America what it is, ... as also to describe certain basic doctrines and beliefs, some of which may have had their day, while others have not yet reached fulfillment.’”—Am Hist R
“In a work of this character, the presentation of new historical facts is not to be expected, but rather a new and fresh treatment of them and of their significance. This latter task is what Mr McLaughlin essayed in this series of lectures and this he has most successfully achieved. Mr McLaughlin’s firm grasp upon the history of the country is apparent throughout his treatment, and his discussion is characterized by brilliant exposition and frequently enlivened by flashes of wit and even restrained sarcasm.” H.
