The first attempt at a complete history of the United States. The reader who 

 desires to inform himself in all the particulars, military or political, of the 

 American Revolution, will find that they have been scrupulously collected for 

 him by Mr. Hildreth. London Athenaeum. 



It has condensed into consecutive narrative the substance of hundreds of 

 volumes. London Literary Gazette. 



The history of the Revolution is clearly and succinctly told. N. A. Review. 



Mr. Hildreth's sources of information have evidently been ample and various, 

 and intelligently examined, his materials arranged with a just idea of their im- 

 portance in the story, while his judgments are well considered, unbiassed, and 

 reliable. His style is clear, forcible, and sententious. Christian Register. 



Mr. Hildreth is a very concise, vigorous, and impartial writer. His entire 

 history is very accurate and interesting, and well worthy a place in every Amer- 

 ican library. Louisville Journal. 



He is laborious, conscientious, and accurate. As a methodical and very full 

 narrative, its value is undoubted. New Orleans Bee. 



The calmness and ability with which he has presented his narrative will give 

 his work rank among the standard histories of the country. Watchman and 

 Observer. 



* We have, therefore, read his book with distrust. But we are bound in 

 candor to say that it seems to ys valuable and very fair. Mr. Hildreth has con- 

 fined himself to, as far aa possible, a dispassionate collection of facts from the 

 documents he has consulted and copied, and his work fills a void that has sensi- 

 bly been felt in private libraries. As a documentary history of the United 

 States, we are free to commend it. N. Y. Freeman's Journal. 



Mr. Hildreth has rendered an essential and permanent service. Providence 

 Daily Journal. 



The volumes will be regarded as indispensable it will take its place as a 

 standard work. The author's style is dignified, perspicuous, and vivacious. 

 Church Review. 



The work is very complete. The marginal dates, the two indexes, and run- 

 ning heads at the tops of the pages, render it very convenient for reference, 

 points -which scholars will find all important for utility. Newark Sentinel / 

 Freedom.
