"Worthy of place as an English Classic."—Pittsburgh Commercial.

"Mr. Patton's style is deserving of unqualified praise. It is pure, simple, strong, free from mannerism, and singularly easy and graceful. We anticipate for the work a cordial reception and extensive popularity among those who know how to prize the best books."—North American Review.
"A very satisfactory account of the history of the country from its first discovery; not so full as to be unmanageable from its numerous details, nor so short as to be merely a dry detail of facts and dates."—Cleveland Herald.
"With evident integrity of purpose, as well as with rare sagacity, the author has steered clear of the errors of a partisan, and has given us the story of the last few years very much as it will be read by an impartial posterity."—N. Y. Evangelist.
"Our wonder is that so much of American history could be comprised in one octavo volume; at the same time, it is very graphically written, in a clear unostentatious style; our frequent use of it convinces us of its great accuracy."—N.Y. Observer.
