The figures are in some cases slightly different from those used in the text, which are taken from Stanwood, _History of the Presidency_. BIBLIOGRAPHY _Guide to Literature of Current History_ The best general bibliography for handy use is Channing, Hart, and Turner, _Guide to the Study and Reading of American History_ (new ed. 1912). G. E. Howard, _Present Political Questions_ (1913)--a valuable syllabus of current questions with discriminating and full bibliographies (published by the University of Nebraska). The Library of Congress publishes useful bibliographies on special topics of current political and historical interest. A list may be obtained by addressing the Librarian, Washington, D.C. An important annual review of the current literature of American history is to be found in _Writings on American History_; published by Macmillan, 1906-1908; by the American Historical Association, 1909-1911; and now by the Yale University Press. Excellent topical bibliographies are to be found in each of the volumes in Hart, American Nation Series. The four volumes by Dunning, Sparks, Dewey, and Latane should be consulted for the period here covered. _General Works_ The best general treatment of the period from 1877 to 1907 is to be found in the four volumes of the American Nation Series edited by A. B. Hart: W. A. Dunning, _Reconstruction: Political and Economic_; E. E. Sparks, _National Development, 1877-1885_; D. R. Dewey, _National Problems; 1885-1897_; J. H. Latane, _America as a World Power, 1897-1907_. Each of these volumes contains an excellent bibliography of political and economic materials. H. T. Peck, _Twenty Years of the Republic_ (1906)--readable work covering the period from Cleveland's first administration to 1905. Edward Stanwood, _History of the Presidency_ (1896 ed.). A second volume (1912) brings the work down to 1909 and contains the platforms of 1912--useful for political sketches and the platforms and election statistics. _The American Year Book_, published since 1910, contains an annual survey of American political history and constitutional and social development.
