Coman, Katharine. Industrial history of the United States for high schools and colleges. [*]$1.25. Macmillan.
In this volume Prof. Coman aims “to bring the essential elements of the economic history of this country within the grasp of the average reader, and she has also adapted it for high school and college students.... There are many illustrations in half-tone in the book, as well as a number of maps and diagrams, and, besides the authorities given in the margin, the book is supplied with a list of books and their authors for the general reader.” (N. Y. Times.)
[*] “It supplements in a highly interesting way the ordinary narrative text-book, and will prove a valuable adjunct in the teaching of the subject.”

“While the author has not always satisfactorily exhibited the economic forces underlying the great movements and events in the history of the United States, she has, on the whole, performed a difficult task well. It is by no means easy to marshal the facts in an interesting way and at the same time bring out their significance; but this the author has succeeded in doing to a praiseworthy degree.”
