It contains a mass of information on historical, political, social, and economic subjects, much of it now without value, though the book is still of service as giving a picture of American life. The author was in sympathy with the country and its people; possessed insight; was unprejudiced and thoroughly equipped for his task. The principal criticism of his work is that he depended too much on material furnished by others. Letters written by him while in America are appended, and constitute perhaps the most valuable part of the book." Larned's Literature of American history.

Mrs Royall, 1769-1854, was a well-known figure in Washington, D. C.
John Quincy Adams described her as a going about "like a virago-
errant in enchanted armor, redeeming herself from the cramps of in-
digence by the notoriety of her eccentricities and the forced currency
they gave to her publications." She was the terror of politicians,
and especially of congressmen. At last she became so unendurable
that she was formally indicted by the grand jury as a common scold.
Her books are full of cutting remarks about public men who offended
her, and from a present-day point of view are very amusing.

purpose of gathering information bearing upon our affairs. Some
of his earlier letters greatly exasperated our people, but, with due
allowance for the unfriendly attitude of the great journal he wrote
for, his collection of experiences and observations has great his-
torical value." Larned's Literature of American history.

in 1759-'63, its invasion during the war of 1812, the wars with the
Indians in the New England states, the Revolutionary contest in
Massachusetts, and the disastrous expedition of Gen. Burgoyne. As
a comparison between the customs, habits of living, modes of thought

"Though some of her strictures are well merited, the book is conceived
in bitterness and ill nature; what is truly said is ungraciously said;
much is said on hearsay which is not true; much is caricatured and
exaggerated." North American review, 1833.

This sixty-year-old classic ought to be read with the greatest avidity,
for it is history in its most taking form. Mrs Trollope's reflections
have still a salutary lesson for us-her book enables us to learn some-
thing about the development of American manners and character in
our dark ages. Adapted from Nation, 1894.
