Turberville, A. S., ed. _Johnson's England. An Account of the Life and Manners of His Age._ 2 vols. Oxford University Press: 1933. (Although this collaborative work neglects political, religious, economic, and aesthetic ideas, it embodies readable and authoritative surveys of external aspects of social history, viewed from many angles. Contains useful bibliographies. See review by H. H. Clark, _American Review_, II, No. 4 [Feb., 1934].) Tyler, M. C. _A History of American Literature, 1607-1765_ (2 vols. New York: 1878), and _The Literary History of the American Revolution_ (2 vols. New York: 1897). (Somewhat grandiloquent but very full survey, including Loyalists. Excellent on literary aspects but partly superseded on ideas. Contains excellent bibliography of primary sources.) Van Tyne, C. H. _The Causes of the War of Independence._ Boston: 1922. (Brilliant both in interpretation and style, and well balanced in considering economic, political, social, religious, and philosophic factors.) Veitch, G. S. _The Genesis of Parliamentary Reform._ London: 1913. (Useful for English backgrounds.) Weld, C. R. _A History of the Royal Society with Memoirs of the Presidents._ 2 vols. London: 1848. Wendell, Barrett. _Cotton Mather, the Puritan Priest._ Cambridge, Mass.: 1926 [1891]. (A sympathetic study of one of Franklin's masters, based on a deep knowledge of the Puritan spirit.) Weulersse, Georges. _Le mouvement physiocratique en France_ (_de 1756 à 1770_). 2 vols. Paris: 1910. (The standard treatment.) White, A. D. _A History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom._ 2 vols. New York: 1897. (Prominent attention given to colonial eighteenth century.) Whitney, Lois. _Primitivism and the Idea of Progress in English Popular Literature of the Eighteenth Century._ Baltimore: 1934. (An acute study of the history of an important idea, especially as embodied in novels. Occasionally misleading because Miss Whitney does not always pay necessary attention to the major individuals' change of attitude, to their genetic development. Contains no bibliography. See Bury, above.) Williams, David. "The Influence of Rousseau on Political Opinion, 1760-1795," _English Historical Review_, XLVIII, 414-30 (1933). Winsor, Justin, ed. _Narrative and Critical History of America._ 8 vols. Boston: [1884-] 1889. (Especially valuable for bibliographical notes.) Wright, B. F. _American Interpretations of Natural Law. A Study in the History of Political Thought._ Cambridge, Mass.: 1931. (An able outline of main trends, although it neglects evidence both in eighteenth-century sermons and in legal papers of colonial attorneys. Shows strong influence of Grotius, Puffendorf, and Locke on Revolutionary theories. Should be supplemented by C. F. Mullett's parallel book. Reviewed by R. B. Morris, _American Historical Review_, XXXVII, 561-2, April, 1932.)
