Recent and Readable History

Six suggestion to alumni in the way of reading in American History are given by Prof. Charles R. Lingley, at the request of the editors. His recom- mendations follow:

J. T. ADAMS, The March of Democracy, 2 vols., Scribner's Sons. Well written, illustrated account o£ American history.

B. C. CLARK, John Quincy Adams, Little, Brown & Cos. Excellent life o£ an American who deserves to be better known.

J. T. FLYNN, God's Gold. The Story ofRockefeller and His Times, Harcourt, Brace & Cos. Critical account of an early attempt to make demand and supply meet, and of the man who made the attempt. ALLAN NEVINS, Grover Cleveland, Dodd, Mead & Cos. Too long, but an excellent account of a rugged man.

H. F. PRINGLE, Theodore Roosevelt, Harcourt, Brace & Cos. The best life of "T. R." The author does not take his subject too seriously. MARK SULLIVAN, Our Times, vol. IV, Scribner's Sons. Lively description of American life and ideas, 1909- 1914.
