Coman, Katherine. Industrial history of the United States for high schools and colleges. *$1.25. Macmillan.
“In view of the scattered and partial character of the material available, it is not perhaps surprising that Miss Coman’s book gives the impression of a collection of facts having to do with the economic history of the United States, rather than of a clear presentation of the main features of that history and the influences by which they have been determined. It must be said, moreover, that even in her statements of facts the author has not exercised as much care as might fairly be expected.” Henry B. Gardner.
