American Commonwealths.
EDITED BY HORACE E. SCUDDER.
A series of volumes narrating the history of such States of the Union as have exerted a positive influ- ence in the shaping of the national government, or have a striking political, social, or economical history.
The commonwealth has always been a positive force in American history, and it is believed that no better time could be found for a statement of the life inher- ent in the States than when the unity of the nation has been assured ; and it is hoped by this means to throw new light upon the development of the country, and to give a fresh point of view for the study of American history.
This series is under the editorial care of Mr. Hor- ace E. Scudder, who is well known both as a student of American history and as a writer.
The aim of the Editor will be to secure trustworthy and graphic narratives, which shall have substantial value as historical monographs and at the same time do full justice to the picturesque elements of the sub- jects. The volumes are uniform in size and general style with the series of " American Statesmen " and "American Men of Letters," and are furnished with maps, indexes, and such brief critical apparatus as add to the thoroughness of the work.
Speaking of the series, the Boston Journal says : " It is clear that this series will occupy an entirely new place in our historical literature. Written by compe- tent and aptly chosen authors, from fresh materials, in convenient form, and with a due regard to propor- tion and proper emphasis, they promise to supply most satisfactorily a positive want."
