The combination consists of ... the interpolation, just after the account of the adoption of the constitution, of seven chapters descriptive of the skeleton of national and state governmental forms.”—Nation.
“The style of the historical chapters is not attractive; the subject-matter is too condensed to be interesting. In the main the spirit of the book is eminently fair and judicial.” Archibald Freeman.

“The author is admirably successful in bringing his subject down to the level of those for whom he writes. The style is simple and picturesque. In a few instances, however, he seems to forget that he is writing a condensed, general account.” E. D. Fite.
