American Commonwealths.
EDITED BY HORACE E. SCUDDER.
A series of volumes narrating the history of sud States of the Union as have exerted a positive influ- ence in the shaping of the national government, of 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. Ho .- 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 s. me time do full justice to the picturesque elements of the su's- jects. The volumes are uniform in size and generar 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."

PRESS NOTICES.
" VIRGINIA."
Mr. Cooke has made a fascinating volume - one which it will be very difficult to surpass either in method or interest. . . . True historic insight appears through all these pages, and an earnest desire to do all parties and religions perfect justice. The story of the settlement of Virginia is told in full. . . . It is made as interesting as a romance. - The Critic (New York).
No more acceptable writer could have been selected to tell the story of Virginia's history. - Educational Journal of Virginia (Richmond, Va.).
"OREGON."
The long and interesting story of the struggle of five nations for the possession of Oregon is told in the graphic and reliable narrative of William Barrows. . . . A more fascinating record has seldom been written. . . . Careful research and pictorial skill of narrative commend this book of antecedent history to all in- terested in the rapid march and wonderful development of our American civilization upon the Pacific coast. - Springfield Re. publican.
There is so much that is new and informing embodied In this little volume that we commend it with enthusiasm. It is written with great ability. - Magazine of American History (New York).
" MARYLAND."
With great care and labor he has sought out and studied origi. nal documents. By the aid of these he is able to give his work a value and interest that would have been impossible had he fol- lowed slavishly the commonly accepted authorities on his subject. llis investigation in regard to toleration in Maryland is particu- larly noticeable. - New York Evening Post.
A substantial contribution to the history of America. - Maga tine of American History.
"KENTUCKY."
Professor Shaler has made use of much valuable existing ma. terial, and by a patient, discriminating, and judicious choice has given us a complete and impartial record of the various stages
.
through which this State has passed from its first settlement to the present time. No one will read this story of the building of one of the great commonwealths of this Union without feelings of deep interest, and that the author has done his work well and im- partially will be the general verdict. - Christian at Work (New York).
A capital example of what a short State history should be. - Hartford Courant.
" KANSAS."
In all respects one of the very best of the series. . . . His work exhibits diligent research, discrimination in the selection of ma- terials, and skill in combining his chosen stuff into a narration that has unity, and order, and lucidity. It is an excellent presen- tation of the important aspects and vital principles of the Kansas struggle. - Hartford Courant.
" MICHIGAN."
An ably written and charmingly interesting volume. . . . For variety of incident, for transitions in experience, for importance of events, and for brilliancy and ability in the service of the lead. ing actors, the history of Michigan offers rare attractions; and the writer of it has brought to his task the most excellent gifts and powers as a vigorous, impartial, and thorough'y accomplished historian. - Christian Register (Boston).
"CALIFORNIA."
Mr. Royce has made an admirable study. He has established his view and fortified his position with a wealth of illustration from incident and reminiscence. The story is made altogether entertaining. .. . Of the country and its productions, of pioneer life and character, of social and political questions, of business and industrial enterprises, he has given us full and intelligent ac- counts. - Boston Transcript.
It is the most truthful and graphic description that has been written of this wonderful history which has from time to time been written in scraps and sketches. - Chicago Inter-Ocean.

CRITICAL NOTICES.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. That Mr. Morse's con-
clusions will in the main be those of posterity we have very little doubt, and he has set an admirable example to his coadjutors in respect of interesting narrative, just proportion, and judicial candor. - New York Evening Post.
HAMILTON. The biography of Mr. Lodge is calm and dignified throughout. ffe has the virtue - rare indeed among biographers - of impartiality. lie has done his work with conscientious care, and the biography of Hamilton is a book which cannot have too many readers. It is more than a biography ; it is a study in the, science of govern- ment. - St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
CALHOUN. Nothing can exceed ine skill with which the political career of the great South Carolinian is portrayed in these pages. The work is superior to any other number of the series thus far, and we do not think it can be sur- passed by any of those that are to come. The whole discussion in relation to Calhoun's positie .. is eminently philosophical and just. - The Dial (Chicago).
JACKSON. Professor Sumner has . . . all in all, made the justest long estimate of Jackson that has had itself put between the covers of a book. - New York Times.
RANDOLPH. The book has been to me intensely inter- esting. . . It is rich in new facts and side lights, and is worthy of its place in the already brilliant series of monographs on American Statesmen. - Prof. MosEs Corr TYLER.
MONROE. In clearness of style, and in all points of liter- ary workmanship, from cover to cover, the volume is well-nigh perfect. There are also a calmness of judg. ment, a correctness of taste, and an absence of partisanship which are too frequently wanting in biographies, and especially in political biographies. - American Literary Churchman (Bal- timore).
JEFFERSON. The book is exceedingly interesting and readable. The attention of the reader is strongly seized at once, and he is carried along in spite of him- self, sometimes protesting, sometimes doubting, yet unable to lay the book down. - Chicago Standard.
WEBSTER. It will be read by students of history; it will be invaluable as a work of reference; it will be an authority as regards matters of fact and criticism; it hits the keynote of Webster's durable and ever-growing fame; it is adequate, calm, impartial ; it is admirable. - Philadelphia Press.
GALLATIN. It is one of the most carefully prepared of these very valuable volumes, . . . abound- ing in information not so readily accessible as is that pertaining to men more often treated by the biographer. . . . The whole work covers a ground which the political student cannot afford to neglect. - Boston Correspondent Hartford Courant.
MADISON. The execution of the work deserves the high- est praise. It is very readable, in a bright and vigorous style, and is marked by unity and consecutiveness of plan. - The Nation (New York).
JOHN ADAMS. A good piece of literary work. . . . It covers the ground thoroughly, and gives just the sort of simple and succinct account that is wanted. - Evening Post (New York).
MARSHALL, Well don, with simplicity, clearness, pre- cision, and, judgment, and in a spirit of moderation and equity. A variable addition to the series. - New York Tribune.
SAMUEL ADAMS. The roughly appreciative and sym- patl ctic, yet fair and critical. . . . This biography is a piece of ge al work -a clear and simple presentation of a noble man and pure patriot ; it is written in a spirit of candor and humanity. - Worcester Sty.
BENTON. An interesting lition to our political liter-
ature, and wi ' great service if it spread
an admiration for that aust. orality which was one of
the marked cha' .racicrisu figure. - The Epoch (New York)., .
CLAI. We have in this life of Henr Clay a biography of one of the most distinguishedf American states- men, and a political history of the UnitedStates for the first half of the nineteenth century. In each of jese important and difficult undertakings, Mr. Schurz has been dinently successful. Indeed, it is not too much to say that, fo'he period covered, we have no other book which equals or beg to equal this life of Henry Clay as an introduction to the stig of American pol- itics. - Political Science Quarterly (New Yor
HENRY. Professor Tyler has not on' made one of the best and most readable of Agrican biographies ; he may fairly be said to have reconstructedthe life of Patrick Henry, and to have vindicated the moms of that great man from the unappreciative and injurious cenate which has been placed upon it. - New York Evening I.
MORRIS. Mr. Roosevelt has placed an animated and intensely interesting graphical volume. . . . Mr. Roosevelt never loses sight of th picturesque background of politics, war - governments, and iplomacy. - Magazine of American History (New York).
VAN BUREN. No more generous, appreciative, or just biography, and no more interesting or philosophical piece of political history has appeared in this valu- able series . . . than this absorbing book. . . . To give any ad- equate idea of the personal interest of the book, or its intimate bearing on nearly the whole course of our political history would be equivalent to quoting the larger part of it. - Brooklyn Eagle. WASHINGTON. Mr. Lodge has written an admirable biography, and one which cannot but confirm the American people in the prevailing estimate concern- ing the Father of his Country; but its deepest and most impor- tant significance appears to us to consist in its testimony to the exaltation and the uniqueness of a character whose like comes seldom to the world, and only in periods of great stress and cri- sis. - New York Tribune.
FRANKLIN. He has managed to condense the whole mass of matter gleaned from all sources into his volume without losin: in a single sentence the freedom or lightness of his style or giving his book in any part the crowded look of an epitome. "He has plenty of time and plenty of room for all he wishes to ay, and says it in the very best and most interesting manner. - the Independent (New York).
