For a number of years we have published Professor Caldwell’s books,
“Survey of American History,” “Great American Legislators” and
“American Territorial Development,” which were originally issued in
the form of leaflets consisting practically of lectures delivered by
the author. In the making of the new book we propose to make it as
nearly perfect as possible, typographically and mechanically. It has
been decided to insert maps, the book being intended for advanced work
in high schools and for students taking a special course in American
History. It is proposed to divide the book into four chapters as
follows:
CHAPTER I.--The Making of Colonial America, 1492-1763
CHAPTER II.--The Revolution and Independence, 1763-1786
CHAPTER III.--The Making of a Democratic Nation, 1786-1841
CHAPTER IV.--The Slavery and Sectional Struggle, 1841-1877
The tentative plan of the book as proposed is given above and includes
the material as now prepared. It is estimated the book will contain
about 600 pages.
