Cunningham, William. Growth of English industry and commerce during the early and middle ages. v. I. 4th ed. [*]$4. Macmillan.
“In this new edition of the first volume ... substantial additions are found, together with corrections on various points of detail and increased precision of statement.... As it now stands, this volume, which traces the course of industrial progress through early and mediæval England, more nearly than ever before fulfills its author’s purpose of indicating clearly the interconnection between the economic and political facts of the periods reviewed, and of making plain not only the events but the ideas of the time.”—Outlook.

Curtis, Francis. Republican party. Vols. I and II. [**]$6. Putnam.
“The work should command serious interest. The very fact that it is honored by a foreword over the name of President Roosevelt, and that the introductory notes ... were written by Senator William P. Frye and Speaker J. G. Cannon, at once arouses interest. By copious extracts from government documents, party platforms and newspaper files, the author shows first the republican party owes its origin neither to enthusiasts nor to a single movement. The party has been consistent through its career, and to-day stands for the three great policies for which it stood at its birth, ‘liberty, honor, and progress.’”—Ann. Am. Acad.
“But in spite of the fact that the author is neither exact nor entirely conservative in all his statements, the work as a whole must command lasting respect.”

“The period of the Civil war is handled skilfully and with less partisanship than might have been expected. It will be easily seen that Mr. Curtis’s work will be accepted only by loyal party men, and yet it is of great value to the historical student; in fact, it is a very elaborate historical argument.”
