American Comm Iths.
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."

" 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 renable narrative of William Barrows. . . .

" MARYLAND."
With great care and labor he has sought out and studied ofici. nal documents.

"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 thoroughly 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.
