A copy of Triumphant Democracy should 

 be placed in every school library in the 

 United States. 



We hope it may be read abroad, and we 

 hope it may be read at home. 



Very interesting and instructive and very 

 flattering to our vanity. 



Mr. Carnegie takes the dry summaries of 

 the census, and with a few striking illustra- 

 tions turns them into wonder tales. 



Reads more like a romance than a book of 

 naked facts. . . . Will serve noble ends. 



In many respects Triumphant Democracy 

 is a book as yet unsurpassed ; the theory and 

 philosophy are admirable, and cannot fail to 

 prove a vital and valuable suggestion and de- 

 light to every American reader. 



The amount of abstract information 

 crammed into the book is enormous, and one 

 might read it a month and still find com- 

 parisons to make and lessons to learn. 



Readable from cover to cover. It is a valu- 

 able and important contribution to the litera- 

 ture and history of the country. 



It is not simply a panegyric, but it is full 

 of valuable information showing why the 

 Republic is worthy of the high position he 

 gives to her. 



A book which will be widely read, and one 

 which no American can read without feeling 

 his heart swell with pride as the conviction is 

 thrust upon him that his country is great in 

 more respects than he ever before had knowl- 

 edge of. 



It is doubtful if any native American ever 

 presented so brilliant a panegyric upon the 

 blessings of free government by the people. 



It would be a good thing could every 

 American read it. No more remarkable tri- 

 bute to the life, vigor, and excellence of our 

 institutions has ever been evoked. 



A book for the pessimist to read. The man 

 who has the blues, that says the country is 

 going to the dogs, that business is overdone 

 and manufactures badly done, cannot do bet- 

 ter than to read this book from cover to cover. 



Worthy of close study and frequent refer- 

 ence, and all students of politics and sociol- 

 ogy will do well to give it a careful examina- 

 tion. 



The influence of every page is to incline 

 the American reader to regard with reverence 

 and affection the noble sacrifices made by our 

 forefathers in the establishment of civil and 

 religious liberty. 



While the book is a fund of knowledge free 

 from the staleness of statistics, it also con- 

 tains the views of a great observer ex- 

 pressed in the most pleasing manner. 



The English critics cannot controvert it, 

 for it is wholly founded on fact. The enthu- 

 siasm of the writer will seize every impar- 

 tial reader. 



Few books which have purported to de- 

 scribe our Republic have approached it in in- 

 terest. It is an encyclopaedia of American 

 life, yet has not a prosy page.

CHICAGO D\M. 



One protracted blast of eulogy of the 

 United States. 



Makes a showing of which any American 

 may justly be proud ... It should espe- 

 cially be read by those who are accustomed 

 to fix their eyes upon the defects of American 

 institutions and manners, while ignorantly 

 extolling the supposed superiority of some- 

 ! thing across the sea.
