Channing, Edward. History of the United States. 8v. v. I, Planting of a nation in the New world. [**]$2.50. Macmillan.
Volume I., of a history of the United States which is designed to trace as one unbroken development the founding of the thirteen colonies by immigrants, mainly from England, the achievement of independence from English control, the Union under the Constitution, the growth of the United States, territorially and socially, and the final welding of the American people into a great nation. The present volume carries the account down to 1660. At the end of each chapter have been placed for advanced students in history technical discussions and bibliographical matter.
“In scholarship the work easily leads any other attempt of the kind. The style is clear, pleasing and admirably simple. If it lacks the literary flavor of some of the more popular histories, there is the compensating charm of deep knowledge and plain-spoken truth. The only adequate estimate of this work is to state frankly that it stands in the forefront of scholarly efforts to tell the history of this country.” C. H. Van Tyne.

“Professor Osgood’s ‘American colonies in the seventeenth century’ is far more detailed on the institutional side, and upon some points gives what seems to the reviewer a better interpretation of the documents. On the other hand, President Tyler’s ‘The English in America’ is richer in detail of narrative, but is by comparison much less accurate in parts,—in the treatment, for example of the Dutch colonies.” St. George L. Sioussat.
