The historical student of our day and generation may well find in the mastery of a single period or a single phase the profitable employment of an industrious lifetime.

...publication of The American Nation, -- a monumental work in twenty seven stout octavo volumes, --under the general editorship of Professor Hart, marks the first very serious attempt to apply the principle of the division of labor to a narrative of the annals of the American people. Despite the elaborate scale on which the undertaking was projected, the whole series has been issued from the press within the comparatively short space of less than four years, an unusual achievement for an enterprise of its kind.
