L'nique Book In two octavo volumes uniform with Mr. Bryce's “The The New York Sun allades to this as "the remarkable work which American readers, including even those who suppose themselves to be pretty well informed, will find indispensable.... It deserves an honored place in every public and private library in the American republic." A masterpiece of political writing “ To rank a work in civics on the same plane and in the same class as Bryce's monumental · American Commonwealth' is to fix for it an exalted status and to confer op it distinction as a masterpiece of literary and political writing. This is precisely the status and notable distinction to which a careful, critical, and determinative reading leads the conscientious reviewer.” --Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. A work in value unique " It stands in distinguished isolation by reason of its comprehensive plan, the masterly way in which the plan has developed, and the sympathetic insight with which Mr. Lowell has described and analyzed the spirit in which the English people work their institutions."-- American Historical Review. A surprisingly interesting book “It ought to be said at once--for the sake of the reader who shrinks from the probable dryness' of a close and comprehensive study of so highly complex a machinery as English government—that it will prove a surprisingly interesting book."-Chicago Evening Post. THE GOVERNMENT OF ENGLAND By A. Lawrence Lowell, of Harvard University “Perhaps also the greatest work of this character produced by an American scholar.”—Public Ledger, Philadelphia.

The American Historical Review THE MEETING OF THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL ASSO CIATION AT WASHINGTON AND RICHMOND city, the next in a western city, the third in Washington, where the Association has its official headquarters. Since it might be difficult to secure a meeting in Richmond as an eastern city the next year after meeting so near to it as Washington, it had been arranged, in response to the urgent invitation received from the Richmond members, that the twenty-fourth annual meeting, held on December 28, 29, 30 and 31, 1908, should be divided between Washington and Richmond. This year the American Economic Association met separately at Atlantic City. But the American Historical Association and the American Political Science Association, it was determined, should meet first in Washington on the evening of Monday, December 28, and the forenoon of the next day, should then proceed to Richmond by special train on Tuesday afternoon, and should there resume their sessions and continue them through Thursday evening. The testimony of all seems to be that the meeting was among the best the Association has ever had; that of many has declared it the most successful of all. It may seem too American to appeal to the test of numbers, yet when less palpable evidences of success point in the same direction, it is no harm to say that whereas the highest registration hitherto recorded showed 280 members present (at the Providence meeting in 1906), on this latest occasion the registration amounted to 330 names; it was a matter of regret that so few-less than twenty-five-were present from the region south of Richmond and the Ohio River.
