BIOGRAPHY, HISTORY, AND GOVERNMENT

In mighty numbers mighty things.

The Century Book for Young Americans.
Century. 1.50
Issued under the auspices of the National Society of the Sons of the
American Revolution, this volume gives an account of the visit of (p. 115)
a party of young people to Washington, where they learned much of
interest regarding our government and the workings of its different
departments. There are many illustrations.
"For Mr. Dunlop had said to his brother: 'Take them, first, to
the centre of things, Tom. Go to Washington. Let them see why our
government was made, how it was made, and how it is run.'"
Much regret has been felt from the fact that there has been no
book published heretofore in which the principles contended for
in the American Revolution, and a description of the institutions
of the Government, have been set forth in a sufficiently
interesting form to make the study attractive to children.
