MONTGOMERY'S 



Histories of England and France are said by all to be, in 

 their departments,- unequalled in scholarship, in true historic 

 insight and temper, in interest and class-room availability. 

 They are admittedly the 



LEADING 



text-books on their subjects. Their popularity and wide use 

 have been duly proportionate to their merits. Hundreds of 

 schools have introduced them, and all report the greatest 

 satisfaction. These 



FACTS 



led every one to expect a great deal of the author's History 

 of the United States. No one has been disappointed. The 

 attractive and enduring qualities of the other books are here 

 found in even higher degree. Not the least 



OF 



these are the numberless incidental touches of thought, fact, 

 or feeling that illuminate the narrative, and both stimulate 

 and satisfy the reader's interest, one result of the author's 

 mastery of his subject. As one would infer, the author is 

 thoroughly 



AMERICAN 



in his sympathies and feelings, too American, in fact, to 

 be sectarian, partisan, local, or narrow, and so we find 

 remarkable life and breadth, as well as insight and instruc- 

 tion, in this book. What we have is, in short, a 



HISTORY 



of the American people, of its development in all depart- 

 ments of activity, with both the causes and the results of 

 great movements distinctly traced: a vivid and attractive 

 panorama of the leading facts of our history.
