BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE.

[For more extended bibliographical information reference should be made to Winsor's Narrative and Critical History of America (8 vols.). This work extends only to 1850; Vols. V, VI, VII, and VIII cover the period from 1760-1850. Less extensive works are B. A. Hinsdale's The Study of American History, and Channing and Hart's Guide to the Study of American History.]

Comprehensive Works. There is no good comprehensive work covering the period under review. Gay's Bryant's Popular History is the best book, but it is not well proportioned. The Epochs of American History, edited by Albert Bushnell Hart, treat the period from a more constitutional point of view. These volumes are well equipped with maps, bibliographies and other "helps" to readers. The American History Series, now in course of publication, will ultimately form a more or less connected work by different hands. The American Statesmen Series, edited by John T. Morse, Jr., takes the place to some extent of a more formal work. But many of the volumes are tinged with the federalist views of the editor and his collaborators. T. W. Higginson's Larger History of the United States is a readable series of essays on the period before 1830.

Historical Geography. There is no good work on the historical geography of America. Winsor, in his America and other works, provides an abundant supply of fac-similes of contemporary maps. The maps in Hart's Epochs of American History have been gathered into a thin volume, without text, entitled: Epoch Maps. They are suited to the needs of the ordinary student, but are on a very small scale. The American maps in Gardiner's School Atlas are poor and untrustworthy.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

General Works. Frothingham's Rise of the Republic; Lodge's Short History of the English Colonies (contains also a useful

summary of the colonial institutions); Fiske's American Revolution; George Bancroft's United States; Hildreth's United States; Pitkin's United States; J. C. Hamilton's Republic of the United States; the "narrative" portions of Winsor's America (Vols. V, VI and VII); G. W. Greene's Historical View. Among the more extended works, Lecky's England (Vols. III and IV) will be found most satisfactory. Other British works are Mahon's England, which contains an ultra-British view; the histories of Massey (Whig) and Adolphus (Tory); Seeley's Expansion of England; Merivale's Colonization; Lewis's Government of Dependencies (contains an interesting old-time view); May's Constitutional History of England; Burke's European Settlements in America and his speeches on American affairs; Bernard's Letters on the Trade and Government of America.

Special Works. Gordon's American Revolution; Graham's United States; Ramsay's Revolution; Chalmers's Introduction to the Revolt; Hutchinson's Massachusetts (Vol. III); Lossing's Field-Book of the Revolution; Carrington's Battles of the Revolution; Dawson's Battles of the United States (Vol. I); Beatson's Naval and Military Memoirs of Great Britain; Stedman's American War; Moore's Diary of the Revolution; Jones's New York in the Revolutionary War (a Tory view); Galloway's Rise and Progress of the Rebellion (another Tory account); E. J. Lowell's The Hessians in the Revolution; Greene's German Element; Tyler's American Literature; Sabine's Loyalists; Ryerson's Loyalists.

For Otis's speech on the Writs of Assistance, see Quincy's Reports, appendix by Horace Gray; John Adams's Diary in his Works, Vol. II. Henry's speech in the Parson's cause is best described in W. W. Henry's Life and Speeches of Patrick Henry, Vol. I. For other statements of the American theory of the constitution of the Empire and for the American theory of government see Otis's The Rights of the Colonies asserted and proved (1764); Stephen Hopkins's The Rights of the Colonies examined (1765), reprinted at London (1766) as The Grievances of the American Colonies candidly examined; Richard Bland's Enquiry in the Rights of the British Colonies (1769); Thomas Jefferson's A Summary View of the Rights of British America (reprinted by

Hart and Channing as American History Leaflet, No. 11). The authors of these essays continually refer to Locke's Essay on Government; Hooker's Ecclesiastical Polity; Harrington's Oceana, and Montesquieu's L'Esprit des Lois. The Virginia Resolves (1769) and the Declaration of Independence (1776) are printed in the appendix of the present volume.

It is impossible in a bibliographical note like the present to mention even the more important original sources. For them the student should go to Winsor's Hand-Book of the Revolution or to one of the bibliographies mentioned at the head of this list. The names of a few of the most important collections may be given: Force's American Archives; Niles's Principals and Acts; Journals and Secret Journals of the Continental Congress; The Parliamentary History; Cavendish's Debates; Rogers's Protests of the Lords; Almon's Prior Documents; and Almon's Remembrancer; Donne, Correspondence between George III and Lord North; The Bedford Papers.

For the Diplomacy of the Revolution, see Lyman's and Trescott's works on the Diplomacy of the United States; Wharton's Digest of International Law; Wharton's and Sparks's editions of the Diplomatic Correspondence of the Revolution; Treaties and Conventions between the United States and Other Powers, and Davis's "Notes" appended thereto. See also the biographies of Franklin, Jay, John Adams, and Silas Deane, noted below.
