The fifth volume covers the time of the administrations of 

 John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, and describes the 

 development of the democratic spirit, the manifestations of new 

 interest in social problems, and the various conditions and plans 

 presented between 1821 and 1830. Many of the subjects in- 

 cluded have necessitated years of first-hand investigations, and 

 are now treated adequately for the first time. 



"John Bach McMaster needs no introduction, but only a greeting. . . . 

 The appearance of this fifth volume is an event in American literature 

 second to none in importance this season " New York l^tmes. 



"This volume contains 576 pages, and every page is worth reading 

 The author has ransacked a thousand new sources of information, and has 

 found a wealth of new details throwing light upon all the private and public 

 activities of the American people of three quarters of a century ago." 

 Chicago Tribune. 



" In the fifth volume Professor McMaster has kept up to the high standard 

 he set for himself in the previous numbers. It is hard to realize thoroughly 

 the amount of detailed work necessary to produce these books, which con- 

 tain the best history of our country that has yet been published." Philadel- 

 phia Telegraph. 



" The first installmsnt of the history came as a pleasant surprise, and 

 the later volumes have maintained a high standard in regard to research 

 and style of treatment." New York Critic. 



"A monumental work. . . . Professor McMaster gives on every page 

 ample evidence of exhaustive research for his facts." Rochester Herald. 



" The reader can not fail to be impressed by the wealth of material out 

 of which the author has weighed and condensed and arranged his matter." 

 Detroit Free Press. 



" Professor McMaster is our most popular historian. ... He never 

 wearies, even when dealing with subjects that would be most wearisome 

 under clumsier handling. This fifth volume is the most triumphant evi- 

 dence of his art." New York Herald.
