Kasson, John A. Evolution of the constitution of the United States of America and history of the Monroe doctrine. [**]$1.50. Houghton.
An edition in a form convenient for the general reader of a work published in memorial volumes, at a high price, in 1887 for the Constitutional centennial commission. “Mr. Kasson gives a clear but condensed recital of the conditions preliminary to the original ‘Confederacy:’ a statement of the infirmities and ineffectiveness of the Articles of confederation; the recognition of the failure of those articles by the patriots of the revolution; the successive steps by which they sought the consent of the states to a general convention to provide a substitute government; and finally the manner in which they accomplished the organization of a nation.” (R. of Rs.)

“This ought to be a good handbook for beginners, but is not a lawbook, and does not cover the field occupied by such a book as Cooley’s well-known treatise.”
