Eggleston, Edward
United States -- History -- Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775
_WITH THE FATHERS. Studies in the History of the United States._ By
JOHN BACH MCMASTER, Professor of American History in the University of
Pennsylvania, author of "The History of the People of the United
States," etc. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The book is of great practical value, as many of the essays
throw a broad light over living questions of the day. Prof.
McMaster has a clear, simple style that is delightful. His
facts are gathered with great care, and admirably interwoven
to impress the subject under discussion upon the mind of the
reader."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
"Prof. McMaster's essays possess in their diversity a
breadth which covers most of the topics which are current as
well as historical, and each is so scholarly in treatment
and profound in judgment that the importance of their place
in the library of political history can not be
gainsaid."--_Washington Times._
"Such works as this serve to elucidate history and make more
attractive a study which an abstruse writer only makes
perplexing. All through the studies there is a note of
intense patriotism and a conviction of the sound sense of
the American people which directs the government to a bright
goal."--_Chicago Record._
"A wide field is here covered, and is covered in Prof.
McMaster's own inimitable and fascinating style.... Can not
but have a marked value as a work of reference upon several
most important subjects."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._
"There is much that is interesting in this little book, and
it is full of solid chunks of political
information."--_Buffalo Commercial._
"Clear, penetrating, dispassionate, convincing. His language
is what one should expect from the Professor of American
History in the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. McMaster
has proved before now that he can write history with the
breath of life in it, and the present volume is new
proof."--_Chicago Tribune._
"Of great practical value.... Charming and instructive
history."--_New Haven Leader._
"An interesting and most instructive volume."--_Detroit
Journal._
"At once commends itself to the taste and judgment of all
historical readers. His style charms the general reader with
its open and frank ways, its courageous form of statement,
its sparkling, crisp narrative and description, and its
close and penetrating analysis of character and
events."--_Boston Courier._
