Excerpt: ... Cole, Arthur Charles. The Whig Party in the South. Pp. xii, 392. Price, $1.50. ($1.00 to members.) Washington: American Historical Association, 1914. Crapsey, Algernon Sidney. The Rise of the Working-Class. Pp. xi, 382. Price, $1.30. New York: The Century Company, 1914. Under an inclusive title, the author has grouped a number of rather divergent topics. Of the thirteen chapters, only seven are directly related to the book title. The other chapters, dealing with the recent economic changes in the home, and with some of the economic phases of the feminist movement, refer primarily to the middle and upper-income classes. Although the author is guilty of several logical lapses, as, for example, in chapters seven and eleven, the book is, on the whole, interesting, stimulating, and for the average reader well worth a careful perusal.

Price, 90 cents. Urbana: University of Illinois, 1914. Four distinct cycles are found in the development of Illinois banking and are discussed by the author in successive chapters. They were the experiences of the territorial banks from 1814 to 1819; banking a state monopoly from 1821 to 1825; banking and internal improvements which reached a climax in 1837; and the free bank system extending from 1837 to the time of the passage of the national bank act. Each of these cycles is analyzed, and their similarity of sequence indicated. A large collection of source material has been well handled. Emin, Ahmed.
