The convenient references to other books is an improvement the wide-awake teacher will appre ciate." LEWIS E. FUNNELL, Principal Elm Street School, Stamford, Conn. "I am delighted with Channing's Short History. It is admirably adapted to the needs of the highest grammar grades. In this presentation of our country's history are combined the broad scholarship of the university professor and the skill of the grammar school teacher. Altogether it is an ideal text-book." N. G. KINGSLEY, Principal Doyle-Avenue Grammar School, Providence, R.I. "It is an admirable presentation of the origin and growth of our nation. From cover to cover it is made intensely interesting, not only by striking illustrations and complete maps, but by the arrangement of the text and the facts presented in a clear, logical manner. The references to other text-books in history is a commendable feature. I fully agree with the author's statement in the preface as to the best method of studying the history of our country." G. H. KNOWLTON, Superintendent of Schools, Swansea, Seekonk, and Freetown, Mass. "It is desirable on account of its brevity; its marginal references to other books is an excellent feature; the maps are good; and I like the use of chapters rather than sharply marked divisions by administrations."
