THE HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA UNDER THE PROPRIETARY GOVERNMENT, 1670-1719
By EDWARD McCRADY, a Member of the Bar of Charleston, S.C., and President of the Historical Society of South Carolina. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top. pp. xxi + 762. Price, $3.50 net.
" Unquestionably a valuable contribution to American historical literature. It covers a field that no one else has hitherto attempted to adequately treat of. It evidences a vast amount of research into musty archives and an instinct that guided the author to a discriminating selection of material. The future must surely be indebted to Mr. McCrady iu no mean degree." - St. Louis Globe Democrat.
" An exhaustive study of the period to which it is devoted, and in the field of American colonial history is fairly to be called a contribution of the first order." - The Nation.
" Colonel McCrady has made a notable contribution to American historical literature, and has written one of the best books that treat of Colonial times. It is a treasury of learned research and a worthy monument to the State to whose eloquent and tragic story he has devoted his pen." - New York Times.
" The spirit of the entire work is calm and judicial; its estimates of men are discriminating, and the style, which is always excellent, rises occasionally to the display of not a little vigor and picturesqueness of statement. This is especially marked in the later chapters. The author is imbued throughout with the true historical spirit which desires above all else to set down things as they actually occurred." - Boston Transcript.
THE HISTORY OF SOUTH CAROLINA UNDER THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT, 1719-1776.
By EDWARD McCRADY, a Member of the Bar of Charleston, S.C., and President of the Historical Society of South Carolina; author of " The History of South Carolina under the Proprietary Government." 8vo. Cloth, gilt top. pp. xxviii + 847. Price, $3.50 net.
" Seldom has such careful research, so much insight, and such breadth of comprehension been applied to the delineation of any part of our colonial history. The 800 pages comprised in this volume before us represent an immense amount of first hand investigation, of faithful comparison of authorities, of studious selection and condensation."- M. W. H. in The New York Sun.
" Mr. McCrady gives a full account of the settlement and development of the country, together with sketches of the social life, which early became marked, near the coast at least, by ease and comfort, due to the wealth acquired through a profitable foreign commerce. The author understands well how to intersperse lighter details with matters of greater importance, so as to relieve his work of any suspicion of dryness." - Providence Journal.
" A highly creditable performance, showing a most thorough acquaintance with the sub- ject."- New York Times.

ECONOMIC HISTORY OF VIRGINIA IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY
An Inquiry into the Material Condition of the People, Based upon Original and Contemporaneous Records
By PHILIP ALEXANDER BRUCE, author of " The Plantation Negro as a Freeman," and Corresponding Secretary of the Virginia Historical Society. In two volumes. Crown 8vo. Cloth, gilt tops. Vol. I, pp. xix + 634. Vol. II, pp. vi + 647. Price, $6 net.
" One of the most valuable contributions to the intimate historical knowledge of America. This work will be useful for all time, and not merely to the lay reader who wishes to know accurately concerning the early conditions of life in Virginia, but to the political economist and the social scientist, who are laboring to advance the substantial interests of the world."- Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
" To systematic American Colonial history library catalogues contain no single title more valuable than the one before us. The student of American history is here put in possession of an account of the state of the people in one of the principal and most significant colonies, that will be accepted as final within its adopted field."- New York Evening Sun.
" Mr. Bruce's work is exhaustive, thorough, thoughtful, interesting, unique. Let it never again be said that the American historian lacks patience. The mass of manuscripts and records from which the author has gleaned the pith and point and spirit is absolutely monu- mental. . . . These two volumes of 600 pages each are crammed with crisp and interesting matter. So conscientiously has he observed his limitations, and so spiritedly has he treated his matter, that his readers will not only forgive his voluminousness, but will hope that he may live to write many more volumes like these." - Chicago Tribune.
THE AMERICAN COMMONWEALTH

The two volumes in a box, $4.00 net.
" It is not too much to call ' The American Commonwealth ' one of the most distinguished additions to political and social science which this generation has seen. It has done, and will continue to do, a great work in informing the world concerning the principles of this govern- ment." - Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
" No enlightened American can desire a better thing for his country than the widest dif- fusion and the most thorough reading of Mr. Bryce's impartial and penetrating work."- Literary World.
"The great quality of his work is that it has been prepared with a sense of justice and a fairness of statement which makes it an authority not only for foreigners, but for native Ameri- cans. It has been and will long continue to be the book that all young men will study as an introduction to their knowledge of American institutions, and it will do more to form the political education of the next generation than any other kind of teaching." - Boston Herald.
