 PREFACE 
 
 THIS book is intended to form a groundwork for three 
 lecture courses given in Harvard University. It contains 
 such apparatus of lists of authorities, materials, and lec- 
 tures, and such suggestion for reading, written work, and 
 examination, as may set the student on the road ; how far, 
 how swiftly, and how safely he goes, must then depend 
 upon his own abilities and resolution. 
 
 The book is founded on several previous publications 
 of a similar kind, published under the titles " Outlines," 
 " Suggestions for Students," and " Revised Suggestions," 
 but the material has been carefully worked over for the 
 present book. The important part which relates to the 
 weekly papers in United States history has been thoroughly 
 revised, recast, and verified by Mr. W. E. Dorman, for 
 several years the efficient assistant in that work. The 
 subjects for special reports in History 13 have been also 
 culled and restated by Dr. Elliot H. Goodwin and Mr. 
 W. H. Gushing. Mr. D. M. Matteson has verified and 
 enlarged many of the references.

 PRELIMINARY SUGGESTIONS 
 
 i. The Three Courses in American History, Diplo- 
 macy, and Government. 
 
 This book has been prepared as an aid to three courses 
 which are offered by the Department of History and Govern- 
 ment at Harvard University: (1) HISTORY 13, Constitutional 
 and Political History of the United States, 1783-1865 ; (2) HIS- 
 TORY 14, History of American Diplomacy ; (3) GOVERNMENT 12, 
 The American Political System, National, State, and Municipal. 
 
 Brief descriptions of these courses in their relation to the 
 other offerings of the department, and a tabular view of exer- 
 cises, will be found in the annual descriptive pamphlet, entitled 
 Division of History and Political Science, to be had on applica- 
 tion at the Publication Office, 2 University Hall. 
 
 The three courses include work of two very different kinds. 
 The history courses attempt to follow out in narrative form the 
 development of American diplomatic history throughout, and 
 of American political history since the Revolution. For this 
 purpose it is necessary to dwell upon the succession of events, 
 and the relations of one period to another ; and the present con- 
 dition of American government is referred to only by way of 
 illustration and comparison. In the course on government, on 
 the other hand, the attempt is made to show what the institu- 
 
 9 
 
10 PRELIMINARIES [ 
 
 tions of the United States now are ; and narrative history is 
 brought in only to throw light upon present conditions. The 
 historical courses include the personal element, the interplay of 
 parties, and the rise and disappearance of political and inter- 
 national questions ; the government course deals with the 
 present practice of government, and does not include questions 
 of motive ; persons are treated only as illustrating variations in 
 practice. In the first group judgment may be passed on ques- 
 tions long since obsolete ; in the second group, the constant 
 inquiry is, How is government now administered, and how 
 may it be improved? 
 
 2. Ground of the Courses. 
 
 HISTORY 13, the general narrative course, aims to describe 
 the conditions under which the nation of the United States has 
 developed into its present form, and the causes, motives, and 
 standards which have directed the political policy of the coun- 
 try. At the same time, students are expected to learn the 
 methods of ascertaining historical truth, and to acquire the 
 habit of reasoning on political and constitutional questions, so 
 that they may apply the material of the course to current events 
 and future questions. The lectures begin at the close of the 
 Revolution, and go down through the Civil War. See List 
 of Lectures, Handbook, 19. 
 
 HISTORY 14, on American diplomatic history, covers the whole 
 field from the discovery of America to the present time. It 
 includes negotiations and treaties between European powers 
 relative to America, the diplomacy of the Revolution and 
 Confederation, and of the United States under the Federal 
 Constitution. The course includes not only the history of 
 negotiations and treaties, but the gradual growth of the prin- 
 ciples of international law which have been invoked in these 
 controversies. 
 
1,2] GROUND OF THE COURSES 11 
 
 The main topics to be taken up are as follows : European 
 colonial systems ; early principles of trade ; territorial claims ; 
 treaties between various countries relative to American com- 
 mercial relations ; piracy ; colonial embassies and agencies ; 
 relations of the English colonies with each other ; questions of 
 prize and admiralty ; Indian treaties ; foundation of a national 
 foreign system in 1775; Committee on Foreign Relations; 
 embassies to Europe ; French alliance ; early commercial 
 treaties ; Barbary powers ; neutrality ; Spanish territorial 
 diplomacy ; annexation of Louisiana, Oregon, and West Florida ; 
 capture of neutral vessels; foreign cruisers in American ports; 
 orders in council and decrees; embargo; Russia and Bering 
 Sea ; Monroe Doctrine ; Panama Congress ; early Cuban ques- 
 tion; slave-trade; French spoliation claims; boundary disputes 
 and settlements of 1842 and 1846; Mexican diplomacy and 
 peace of 1848; policy of annexation from 1848 to 1860; 
 Cuban diplomacy ; Clayton-Bulwer treaty ; filibusters ; Hun- 
 gary and Kossuth ; Trent affair ; diplomacy of the Civil War ; 
 Alabama claims; Mexican intervention; purchase of Alaska; 
 treaty of Washington: first Cuban War (1868-1878); Virginius 
 episode ; naturalization treaties ; Panama and Nicaragua canals ; 
 Canadian fisheries ; Venezuela question ; Cuban intervention ; 
 arbitrations; Spanish War of 1898; annexation of Hawaii; 
 Samoa ; Hague treaty of arbitration ; the Philippines ; status 
 of colonies. See List of Lectures, Handbook. 20. 
 
 GOVERNMENT 1 2 is an advanced course, intended primarily for 
 graduates, limited in number. It is open only to those who have 
 already a knowledge of the annals of American history and a 
 considerable training in history and government. It is intended 
 to discuss the practical workings of the American system of 
 government as it now exists, with constant reference, how- 
 ever, to the historical growth of the institutions described ; 
 hence the course goes beyond the text of constitutions and 
 
12 PRELIMINARIES [ 
 
 statutes, and seeks to learn the actual practice of officials, 
 legislative bodies, and political parties and organizations. 
 
 Among the subjects to be discussed are : the historical and 
 legal basis of government in the United States ; the American 
 people, races, numbers, elements, distribution ; personal rights, 
 citizenship, privileges and duties of citizens ; status of negroes, 
 Chinese, and Indians ; formation and amendment of constitu- 
 tions, both state and national ; the suffrage, and the degree 
 and manner of its exercise; political parties and party ma- 
 chinery ; state and local government ; problems of city govern- 
 ment ; the functions of the three departments of government, 
 executive, legislative, judiciary, especially the civil service, 
 procedure of legislative bodies, and jurisdiction of the courts ; 
 territorial powers, including the growth of territory, and the 
 status of colonies and dependencies ; financial and commercial 
 powers, including the administration of the tariff, public lands, 
 internal improvements, public buildings, and shipping ; foreign 
 powers and treaties ; the military system, including the militia 
 and pensions; education, religion, and general welfare; enforce- 
 ment of law and maintenance of order. See List of Lectures, 
 Handbook, 21. 
 
 3. Choice and Succession of Courses. 
 
 HISTORY 13 is perhaps better taken in the Junior or Senior 
 year, when the mind has a store of facts and conclusions on 
 current politics and history ; though qualified Sophomores and 
 even Freshmen may be admitted. It is not expected that the 
 history course will be taken by the same student in the same 
 year as the diplomacy or government course, inasmuch as the 
 former, or its equivalent, is a preparation for the two latter. 
 History 13 is adapted to future journalists, active business men, 
 public men, and lawyers ; it may be advantageously taken at 
 the same time as History 12 (English History since 1689), His- 
 
2,3] CHOICE OF COURSES 13 
 
 tory 16 (Continental Europe since 1713), History 10 (Colonial 
 History), Government 4 (International Law), or Economics 6 
 (Economic History of the United States). It is introductory 
 to History 24 2 (United States since the Civil War), Govern- 
 ment 12 (American Political System), and to History 20e 
 (Seminary in American History and Institutions). 
 
 HISTORY 14 is intended to be a Senior course, following 
 courses in International Law and narrative American history. 
 It should be useful to students of American territorial and 
 commercial questions. It is not a course in International Law, 
 the general principles of which are assumed to be familiar to 
 the students who elect History 14. This work is of graduate 
 grade, though not limited to graduates. The course fits in 
 well with advanced courses in later European history and with 
 Government 15 (Advanced International Law). 
 
 GOVERNMENT 12 is intended for future teachers of history, 
 investigators and writers upon constitutional questtons ; it is 
 also adapted for men who are to study politics and law. A 
 small number of qualified Seniors may be admitted, especially 
 if they expect to follow up this line of study in the Graduate 
 School. The course in government expects a previous knowl- 
 edge of the annals of American history, for which History 13 
 would be a suitable preparation. History 10 (Colonial History) 
 is also very desirable. Government 1 (Constitutional Govern- 
 ment) and Government 7 (Leading Principles of Constitutional 
 Law), are more elementary courses on similar lines; and His- 
 tory 23 (Select Topics in American Institutions) and Govern- 
 ment 10 (Modern Governments) are parallel in degree of 
 advancement, and work in with the general subject of Govern- 
 ment 12. The course in government is often taken in con- 
 nection with History 20e (Seminary in American History and 
 Institutions). The most useful parallel course is Government 
 14 (Constitutional Law). 
 
14 PRELIMINARIES [ 
 
 For students who expect to come up for higher degrees in 
 history or political science it is desirable to take narrative 
 courses (such as History 10 or 13) not later than the Junior 
 year; Government courses (as Government 10, 11, 12) not 
 later than the Senior year ; and the Seminary in the Graduate 
 School. 
 
 4. Previous Preparation. 
 
 HISTORY 13 is intended for students who have already taken 
 some narrative or descriptive work, such as Government 1 
 (Elementary Constitutional Government) or History 10 (Colonial 
 History). Those who have had neither of these courses will 
 do well before entering the course to read at least one of the 
 following selections : (1) Reuben G. Thwaites, The Colonies; (2) 
 John T. Morse, Jr., Benjamin Franklin, and Henry Cabot 
 Lodge, George Washington, Vol. I ; (3) Albert Bushnell Hart, 
 American History told by Contemporaries, Vol. II. History 1 
 (Mediaeval and Modern) or Economics 1 (Principles) may be 
 accepted as a sufficient preliminary training. Mature students, 
 especially those coming from other colleges, will be admitted 
 on showing that they have had such previous training . as will 
 enable them to profit by the course and to do the written 
 work. 
 
 HISTORY 14 is a special course, in its nature available only 
 for students who have already studied the narrative background 
 of American history, and are familar with the general principles 
 of International Law. For good preliminary reading, which 
 will take off part of the parallel reading of the course, students 
 should go through: J. H. Latane, Diplomatic Relations of 
 the United States and Spanish America;. Eugene Schuyler, 
 American Diplomacy ; Albert Bushnell Hart, Foundations of 
 American Foreign Policy. 
 
 To enter GOVERNMENT 12 it is expected that the student 
 
3-6] TIME NECESSARY 15 
 
 shall have had thorough previous training in American history, 
 and shall be well acquainted with some other contemporary 
 field of history. History 10 (Colonies), History 13 (United 
 States), History 24 a (United States since the Civil War), 
 Government 1 (Elementary Constitutional Government), Gov- 
 ernment 10 (Modern Government) are obvious preparatory 
 courses. The best preliminary reading and the backbone of 
 the course is James Bryce, American Commonwealth (2-volume 
 edition) . 
 
 5. Time Necessary for the Courses. 
 
 It will not be possible to do the work expected in either of 
 these courses in less than about one-quarter of the time annually 
 given to his whole group of studies by an industrious student. 
 Of this time most students probably spend about one-half 
 upon the preparation for the written work ; the other half 
 upon the general reading parallel with the course. 
 
 6. Methods employed in the Courses. 
 
 Neither the course in the United States political history nor 
 that in diplomatic history is intended to be a complete survey of 
 the whole field. The object of the instruction is not so much 
 to furnish a body of information as to train students to apply 
 what they learn, and to compare that knowledge with the new 
 ideas which come to them. Since they are meant to be training 
 courses rather than information courses, neither of them forms 
 a complete chronological sequence ; they suggest the essential 
 elements of American history and diplomacy, and discuss the 
 things which have really made a difference in the development 
 of the country. The instructor in his lectures suggests pro- 
 portions and arrangements of facts, and endeavors to show the 
 connection of events with each other; and he lays much stress 
 upon historical geography, especially the territorial growth of 
 
16 PRELIMINARIES [ 6-8} 
 
 the country and the geography of the slavery question. Details, 
 are to be filled in by the student from his own reading parallel 
 with the course. Since listening to lectures and reading both 
 tend to becoine mechanical, students are expected in preparing 
 the u special reports " to acquire practice in the use of mate- 
 rials and in the application to constitutional or international 
 questions of principles which they have already learned. A 
 special weekly exercise, the so-called " weekly papers," is also 
 introduced, to train the reasoning powers upon the questions 
 discussed. Finally, examinations are intended to test the 
 judgment and the sense of proportion on the part of the stu- 
 dent. Students in either of the three courses will therefore 
 be expected to show proficiency in each of the following fields, 
 more detailed accounts of which will be found below : 
 
 (1) The facts and principles set forth in the lectures and 
 recorded in note-books, including the historical geography of 
 the United States; the results to be tested in the "weekly 
 papers" and by the examinations. See Handbook, 14-21. 
 
 (2) Facts and principles derived from reading, in many 
 cases on topics not discussed in detail in the lectures ; results 
 also tested by the examinations. See Handbook, 22-25. 
 
 (3) Ability to reason on brief unfamiliar questions within 
 recognized fields, as shown by the " weekly papers." See 
 Handbook, 26-123. 
 
 (4) Such knowledge of sources, and ability to combine facts 
 derived from them into a statement useful for other people, as 
 may be shown in the special reports. See Handbook, 124- 
 153. 
 
 (5) An ability to retain and to apply the principles gained 
 from the work of the course, including the parallel reading, as 
 tested in examinations. See Handbook, 154-160. 
 
PART II 
 
 MATERIALS 
 
 7. Use of Books. 
 
 Inasmuch as the value of both the historical and narrative 
 courses lies chiefly in the use of one's own powers, it is ex- 
 pected that all students will acquire the habit of using books, 
 and many books. Brief text-books will be required, but must 
 be supplemented by wide reading in the general literature on 
 the subject ; and the courses are so arranged that students may 
 often read the most important chapters of several books rather 
 than the whole of any elaborate work. The use of biblio- 
 graphical helps will be enforced at the beginning of the narra- 
 tive course (HISTORY 13) by a bibliographical report (Handbook, 
 129) ; and constitutional or international treatises are to be 
 examined as a beginning for the work on "papers" (Hand- 
 book, 26-31). The sources will be used for most of the 
 special reports in all the courses (Handbook, 124-153). 
 Throughout the courses, students will be expected to acquire 
 their knowledge of facts and their foundation for conclusions 
 from a variety of material. 
 
 8. Libraries Available. 
 
 To make it possible to do work of the kind just described, 
 generous library facilities are necessary. In the Harvard 
 College Library will be found three special collections of books 
 intended respectively for the three courses. 
 2 17 
 
18 MATERIALS [ 
 
 For HISTORY 13 the old Art Room in the College Library is 
 practically an alcove of reserved books on Colonial and United 
 States history. It contains most of the standard books neces- 
 sary for the course, arranged alphabetically by ranges, many 
 of them in duplicate or triplicate copies. 
 
 For HISTORY 14 there is a special case of reserved books in 
 the Library Reading Room, in connection with which should 
 also be used the adjacent case on International Law. 
 
 In another place are the books for GOVERNMENT 12, arranged 
 with the reserved books for several other college courses on 
 government, under the rubric " Government," alphabetically 
 by authors, in one alphabetization. 
 
 In the Library Reading Room are catalogues and other biblio- 
 graphical aids, and at the desk are deposited special copies of 
 the Handbook; Channing and Hart, Guide to the Study of 
 American History ; A. B. Hart, Foundations of American For- 
 eign Policy ; and A. B. Hart, Actual Government ; each bear- 
 ing in the margin the library numbers of the books cited. 
 The valuable collection of government documents, records, and 
 debates of Congress, including a set of the opinions of the 
 Attorneys General and of the decisions of the Supreme Court, 
 are in the old Art Room. 
 
 In the Delivery Room of the Library is the card catalogue, 
 a practical knowledge of which will be one of the earliest 
 requirements of the courses. 
 
 Several other collections of books are available in Cambridge. 
 Full sets of the decisions of State Courts, and of the United 
 States District, Circuit, and Supreme Courts, and also the 
 digests, are in the Law School Library, which is not accessible 
 for ordinary use by college students. The library of the Har- 
 vard Union is expected to include books commonly used for 
 reference in college courses ; and several of the clubs have a 
 like provision. The Cambridge Public Library on Broadway, 
 
8, 9] LIBRARIES 19 
 
 not far from the College Yard, may be used by any continuing 
 resident of Cambridge. 
 
 In Boston, the magnificent collections of the Boston Public 
 Library (Copley Square) are generously open for use in the 
 building to all comers. A remarkable set of United States 
 Public Documents will be found convenient for work on special 
 reports by students who live in Boston, or have not the use of 
 the College Library. Within the Public Library is Bates Hall, 
 with a large select collection, open in the evening. The Massa- 
 chusetts State Library (State House) has a valuable set 
 of documents and State statutes. The Social Law Library 
 (Suffolk County Court House) can be consulted through law- 
 yers who are members. The Massachusetts Historical Society 
 (Boylston Street and the Fenway) has a special collection on 
 early Colonial history, of great value ; it can be used by intro- 
 duction from the instructor in the courses. The Boston Athe- 
 naeum (old building on Beacon Hill, new building on Arlington 
 Street) has important files of newspapers, and is rich in mate- 
 rials for diplomatic history. It is a private library, from which 
 books may be drawn only by shareholders ; but in case of 
 necessity, it is courteously open to qualified students who 
 have a definite purpose. 
 
 One of the necessities for training men in history and gov- 
 ernment is that they understand how to use libraries, through 
 catalogues, check-lists, bibliographies, footnotes to secondary 
 writers, and such aids. The special report work (Handbook, 
 124-153) will both train and test such knowledge. 
 
 9. Text-books. 
 
 Each of the three courses will be backed up by a brief general 
 book or set of books, intended to give to the student early in 
 his study a connected view of the whole subject, and to furnish 
 an essential body of facts. Students are expected to own 
 
20 MATERIALS [ 
 
 these books, including this Handbook, or to have constant 
 access to them. 
 
 In HISTORY 13 no single volume or set of books has yet 
 been published which covers the whole field in convenient 
 form. The basal text-books will therefore be three, costing 
 together about $4 : 
 
 Handbook of the History ', Diplomacy, and Government of 
 the United States (Cambridge, Harvard University, 1901). 
 
 Epochs of American History, Vols. II, III (rev. ed., N. Y., 
 Longmans, Green & Co., 1897). 
 
 Alexander Johnston, History of American Politics (rev. ed., 
 N. Y., Holt, 1892). 
 
 For HISTORY 14 the text-book will be: John B. Moore, 
 American Foreign Policy (in preparation, to be published by 
 Longmans, Green & Co., N. Y.). Until that book is issued, 
 the text-books will be the three following, and should cost 
 about $4 : 
 
 John W. Foster, A Century of American Diplomacy, 1776- 
 1876 (Boston, Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1900). 
 
 Albert Bushnell Hart, The Foundations of American Foreign 
 Policy (N. Y., Macmillan, 1901). 
 
 Eugene Schuyler, American Diplomacy and the Furtherance 
 of Commerce (N. Y., Scribner, 1886). 
 
 For GOVERNMENT 12 the main text-books will be two, costing 
 about $5 : 
 
 James Bryce, The American Commonwealth (2 vols., rev. 
 ed., N. Y., Macmillan, 1893-1895). 
 
 Albert Bushnell Hart, Actual Government (N. Y., Longmans, 
 Green & Co., 1902). 
 
9, 10] TEXT AND REFERENCE BOOKS 21 
 
 10. Essential Reference Books. 
 
 In addition to the text-books, for each course there will be 
 necessary a small number of books which all students will be 
 expected to use, and to which they should have constant access. 
 
 In HISTORY 13 the essential reference books are as follows; 
 the set of six volumes and one pamphlet costs about $19 : 
 
 Channiug and Hart, Guide to the Study of American History 
 (Boston, 1896). A classified and topical bibliography of Colo- 
 nial and Federal history to 1865, especially useful in the work 
 on special reports. Special copy with library numbers in the 
 Reading Room. 
 
 Text of the Constitution of the United States. The most 
 convenient verbatim text is in American History Leaflets, No. 8. 
 
 Thomas M. Cooley, General Principles of Constitutional Law 
 in the United States (3d. ed., McLaughlin's, Boston, 1898). 
 The standard brief treatise on Constitutional Law. 
 
 Albert Bushnell Hart, American History told by Contem- 
 poraries, Vols. Ill, IV (N. Y., 1901). This is a set of related 
 extracts, prepared with special view to the needs of classes 
 in United States History. 
 
 James Bradley Thayer, Select Cases in Constitutional Law, 
 with Notes (2 vols., Cambridge, 1895). The standard collec- 
 tion of cases, almost indispensable for the "weekly papers" 
 and available for later use in the Law School. Emlin McClain's 
 one-volume collection to some degree serves the same purpose. 
 
 In HISTORY 14 the essential books, besides the text-books, are 
 as follows. They should cost about $8 : 
 
 William Edward Hall, International Law (4th ed., Oxford, 
 1895). The best single-volume treatise, with many references 
 to American precedent. 
 
 John H. Latane, The Diplomatic Relations of the United 
 
22 MATERIALS [ 
 
 States and Spanish America (Baltimore, 1900). The best ac- 
 count of that subject, with good footnotes. 
 
 United States, Treaties and Conventions concluded between the 
 United States and Other Powers (Washington, 1889). 
 
 Francis Wharton, A Digest of the International Law of the 
 United States (3 vols., Washington, 1886). Invaluable ex- 
 tracts from official instructions, opinions, and dispatches ; can 
 be picked up at second-hand for about $3 ; new edition in 
 preparation by J. B. Moore. 
 
 GOVERNMENT 12. The books most used in the course r 
 besides the text-books, are as follows. They should cost 
 about $10: 
 
 M. P. Follet, The Speaker of the House of Representatives 
 (N. Y., 1896). The best study of the workings of Congres- 
 sional government. 
 
 Frank J. Goodnow, Comparative Administrative Law (2 
 vols., N. Y., 1893). To a large degree a treatise on Ameri- 
 can practical government, as established by court decisions; 
 valuable on State and local government as well as national. 
 
 B. A. Hinsdale, The American Government, National and 
 State (rev. ed., Chicago, 1895). A sane and comprehensive 
 book, with special interest in actual precedent. 
 
 Clara Hannah Kerr, The Origin and Development of the 
 United States Senate (Ithaca, 1895). 
 
 Delos F. Wilcox, The Study of City Government; an Outline 
 of the Problem of Municipal Functions, Control, and Organiza- 
 tion (N. Y., 1897). A statement in a single volume of the diffi- 
 culties and solutions of municipal government. 
 
 ii. Special Collections in History. 
 Every college student ought to be laying the foundations for 
 his own library. In the field of American history, diplomacy, 
 
10; 11] SPECIAL COLLECTIONS IN HISTORY 28 
 
 and government there is a considerable literature of permanent 
 interest and value. For purposes of study an excellent plan 
 is for several students to join together, each contributing a 
 share to a small collection which may be used by all in com- 
 mon during their college course, dividing them at the end or 
 presenting them to the College Library. 
 
 In United States history three special bibliographies will aid 
 in the intelligent purchase of books. 
 
 Channing and Hart, Guide to the Study of American History 
 (Boston, 1896), 15-39. Has select lists of writers, without 
 critical notes. 
 
 Josephus N. Lamed, The Literature of American History, 
 A Bibliographical Guide (N. Y., 1902). A list of several 
 thousand books on American history, each with a critical note

 LECTURES 
 
 14. Character of the Lectures. 
 
 The historical lectures in HISTORY 13 are not intended to form 
 a continuous narrative, or to present detailed statements of fact, 
 except in cases where information in books is scanty or inac- 
 cessible ; they are designed to show the relation between facts, 
 to point out causes and effects, to set in relief the principal 
 public men, and to develop principles. Every student will be 
 expected to take his own notes, and to add to .them from his 
 reading. The lectures will be illustrated by special maps and 
 charts. The lecturer will always welcome requests from stu- 
 dents for a clearer statement of any point, or for the treatment 
 of omitted subjects. The topics proposed to be taken up in 
 each lecture may be seen below (Handbook, 19). 
 
 In HISTORY 14 the lectures will form a closer and more 
 specific body of material, but must be diligently supplemented 
 by reading. For the list of lectures, see below (Handbook, 
 20). 
 
 In GOVERNMENT 12 the lectures are indispensable to an 
 understanding of the subject, since they are based upon 
 materials little accessible in books, and contain much illustra- 
 tion taken from the current practice of government in the 
 United States. The lectures will be illustrated by maps and 
 charts. A list of the topics treated will be found below (Hand- 
 book, 21).

 15. Attendance. 
 
 Since the lectures in both narrative and descriptive courses 
 are intended to group facts and to show relations not brought 
 out by single books, to make up an omitted lecture by reading 
 outside is often impossible. Absence, therefore, beyond what 
 might naturally be caused by sickness and other accidental 
 reasons, creates a presumption that a student is not doing the 
 work of the course. 
 
 16. Note-taking. 
 
 Every student will find it to his advantage to take careful 
 notes on the lectures, and on all authorities which he reads. 
 The practice trains the mind to condense and to grasp ma- 
 terials ; and the note-book should cement the parts of the 
 course together, and should receive additions from the read- 
 ing. Methods and results in note-taking are considered in 
 Channing and Hart, Guide, 62, 63. Students are con- 
 stantly advised to summarize their notes by headings and 
 marginal catchwords, for the practice is very helpful for fix- 
 ing principles in the mind. 
 
 17. Historical Geography. 
 
 An essential part of the work in all the courses, particularly 
 in the historical and diplomatic, will be a study of the histor- 
 ical geography of the United States. This will include a 
 sketch of the physical characteristics of the country and 
 their influence on its history ; a general knowledge of the ter- 
 ritorial growth of the United States ; the more important polit- 
 ical subdivisions; an understanding of the relations between 
 the slavery question and historical geography ; and a know- 
 ledge of the geography of our dependencies. The data will be 
 furnished in lectures, illustrated by maps. The things to be 
 remembered are few and simple, but they are very important. 
 
32 LECTURES [ 
 
 In HISTORY 13 the instructor usually reviews the geo- 
 graphical questions in an extra lecture at the end of each 
 half-year. 
 
 In HISTORY 14 all the territorial negotiations, treaties, and 
 controversies need geographical illustration. 
 
 In GOVERNMENT 12 the geography is brought out particu- 
 larly in the description of the elements of American govern- 
 ment, and in the discussion of territorial, war, and foreign 
 powers. 
 
 The authorities on the historical geography of the United 
 States are enumerated and described in Channing and Hart, 
 Guide to the Study of American History, 21. R. H. Lab- 
 berton, Historical Atlas, contains some historical maps, not 
 entirely accurate, which have been republished, with corrections 
 and additions, in Townsend MacCoun, Historical Geography of 
 the United States. The Epochs of American History contains 
 a series of maps, which are gathered together and republished 
 in A. B. Hart, Epoch Maps illustrating American History. 
 B. A. Hinsdale, How to Study and Teach History, has the 
 best discussion of the relations of American geography to 
 history. The best school text-books in American history 
 as Channing, Gordy, Johnston (MacDonald's ed.), McLaugh- 
 lin, Mowry, Thomas have good and abundant historical 
 maps. 
 
 18. Personality. 
 
 All history is the record of the activity of men, and neither 
 narrative nor description is complete unless we can feel the 
 personality of those who have most affected the course of 
 events. Throughout all the courses, therefore, the attempt 
 will be made to bring out the human side, to portray indi- 
 viduality, to show the marvelous effect of leadership. 
 
 In HISTORY 13 the great Americans will be taken up from 
 
17, 18] PERSONALITY 33 
 
 time to time in connection with the events and policies which 
 best illustrate their character and services ; and suitable read- 
 ings on this phase of the course are indicated in the list of 
 lectures (Handbook, 19). 
 
 In HISTORY 14 the personal side is rather less evident ; but 
 the diplomats, American and foreign, who have most affected 
 negotiations and treaties, and have done most to establish prin- 
 ciples of international law, will be discussed as they come 
 (Handbook, 20). 
 
 In GOVERNMENT 12 the force of individuality is less marked, 
 because we deal with general practice established by millions of 
 separate individuals in localities, municipalities, and States; 
 nevertheless, a few men who have set their mark on the theories 
 and workings of our governments will be mentioned (Handbook, 
 21). 
 
 For the characterization of public men the most convenient 
 books are the various biographies ; select list in Channing and 
 Hart, Guide, 25. The aids and collections for a study of 
 biography are described below (Handbook, 129). For a list 
 of encyclopedias and biographical dictionaries, Channing and 
 Hart, Guide, 17. There are several series of handy col- 
 lected biographies, of which the following is a list: 
 
 Jared Sparks, editor, American Biographies (25 vols., Bos- 
 ton, 1834-1848). Written by Sparks and others under his 
 editorship, often very well done. 
 
 John T. Morse, Jr., editor, American Statesmen (31 vols. 
 and index vol., Boston, Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1898-1900). 
 All the volumes of this series, begun about 1880, have 
 been recently revised, and a new edition issued; but the older 
 editions are almost equally desirable. 
 
 Beacon Biographies (25 vols. to 1901, Boston, Small, May- 
 nard & Co., 1899-). Brief and pungent biographies, espe- 
 cially aimed to bring out character and public services.

 19. List of Lectures in History 13. Constitutional 
 and Political History of the United States, 1781-1865. 
 
 HISTORY 13 will hereafter cover the period from the end of 
 the Revolution to the end of the Civil War. The first half- 
 year will include the period 1781 to 1829; the second half- 
 year will continue from 1829 to 1865. 
 
 Whenever a statesman is mentioned in connection with a 
 lecture, he is chosen as typifying the general topic of the 
 lecture. 
 
 In connection with the groups of lectures will be found sug- 
 gestions for parallel readings ; and on most of the lectures a 
 few special significant references appear. These readings do 
 not include references to the text-books, acquaintance with 
 which is taken for granted. The list also shows the relation 
 of the weekly papers to the lectures. 
 
 Exact titles of the books to which reference is made will be 
 found elsewhere in the Handbook (use the index), or in the 
 Guide (use the asterisks in the index).

 22. Requirement of Reading. 
 
 In all the courses it is assumed that the student is doing 
 regular and systematic reading; no one can expect in any 
 other way to follow the lectures, to profit by the courses, or to 
 pass the examinations. The careful reading of the text-books 
 (Handbook, 9) is obligatory, and considerable parts of the 
 essential reference books (Handbook, 10) will be necessary. 
 Beyond, there is no requirement as to the manner in which the 
 reading shall be done, and either of three ways will be accept- 
 able : (1) The student may choose books at his discretion and 
 read them according to his judgment (Handbook, 23) ; (2) he 
 may choose groups out of the "general readings " given in the 
 Guide, 56, and elsewhere (Handbook, 24) ; (3) if he desire 
 to keep more closely within the limits of the course, he may 
 read one or more references under each topic as it is taken up 
 in the lectures (Handbook, 25). 
 
 For the ordinary student it may be found most convenient 
 to use the lists of general readings printed in the Guide, 56. 
 It must be understood that the system lacks the advantage 
 gained by search in books to find passages useful for immediate 
 purposes. Such reading must, therefore, be supplemented by 
 other parts of the work which give distinct training in the 
 selection of material, especially the weekly papers and the 
 special reports. Many students have the commendable habit 
 of keeping ahead of the lectures with their reading, so that 
 
 110 
 
[ 22-24] REQUIREMENT OF READING 111 
 
 they may have a basis of fact upon which to apply the lectures 
 as they are delivered. But for the student who desires to 
 keep a complete and consecutive abstract of his work it will 
 probably be found most convenient to take notes on the 
 lectures in a systematic form, leaving space to be filled in 
 with an abstract from later collateral reading. 
 
 The system of reading recommended by the instructor is a 
 combination of the three methods described below : a few brief 
 books should be read entire, the text-books, considerable 
 parts of the Contemporaries, some of the American Statesmen 
 series, and Edward Stanwood, History of the Presidency, will 
 answer ; then the general readings may be used, and the student 
 may go to special references in the Guide for important and 
 difficul points. 
 
 23. Consecutive Readings. 
 
 For the students who are willing to give most time to the 
 course, perhaps the best method of reading is simply to follow 
 out the standard books which most interest them, reading 
 one after another, and comparing them with each other and 
 with the lectures. The books recommended in the special 
 collections (Handbook, 11-13) are the best for such a prin- 
 ciple. The student should not fail to use contemporary narra- 
 tives. In using this method, which will be most useful in 
 GOVERNMENT 12, special attention should be given to the topics 
 upon which the student finds himself most uncertain or ignorant 
 when they are touched upon in the lectures. 
 
 24. General Readings. 
 
 The difficulty of getting the certain use of a large number 
 of books by considerable bodies of students is such that another 
 method of keeping abreast of the courses has been devised, 
 that, of "general readings." Several lectures are thrown 
 
112 PARALLEL READINGS [ 
 
 together into a period, and for each period is arranged a series 
 of groups of associated books. 
 
 For HISTORY 13 special provision has been made for this 
 kind of work, by the preparation, in the Guide, 56, of a series 
 of blocks of readings under each of the main topics of the 
 course. Any one of these blocks is therefore sufficient on its 
 topics, and the choice involves the use of a variety of books. 
 Groups are roughly arranged in an order of preference, but 
 there is very little difference in the value of the first half- 
 dozen under each period. It will be well to use the books in 
 the order in which they are printed in the groups, and so to 
 choose them in successive periods as to bring into use a number 
 of volumes. The system is adapted to the special collections 
 (Handbook, 11-13). At the head of each group of lectures 
 in the list for HISTORY 13 (Handbook, 19) will be found a few 
 selected parallel readings. 
 
 For HISTORY 14 no set of grouped readings has as yet been 
 prepared, except in the List of Lectures (Handbook, 20). 
 
 For GOVERNMENT 12 readings can be made up from the 
 chapter bibliographies in A. B. Hart, Actual Government, and 
 from the parallel readings in the List of Lectures (Handbook, 
 21). A different list of general readings in government was 
 printed in A. B. Hart, Revised Suggestions, 33. 
 
 25. Topical Readings. 
 
 Many students prefer to read specific references on the 
 topics which come up in the lectures. To this end for HISTORY 
 13 there will be found arranged in the Guide, 144-214, a 
 series of topics, most of which will be taken up in the lectures, 
 although many points will there be discussed which are not 
 directly included in any of these topics. An excellent way of 
 following the course is after each lecture to read up one or more 
 of the references under each topic which has been discussed. 
 
24,25] GENERAL AND TOPICAL 113 
 
 The references in each section are loosely arranged in the 
 order of preference, but all that are inserted - have a value. 
 The topical readings are most valuable to students who can 
 easily hold the thread of the narrative in their minds. A par- 
 ticular advantage of the system is that it introduces the student 
 to a large number of books. After many of the lectures in the 
 list (Handbook, 19) will be found specific references. 
 
 For HISTORY 14 some topical references have been provided 
 in the List of Lectures (Handbook, 20), and further sugges- 
 tions as to helpful materials will be made in the lectures. 
 
 For GOVERNMENT 12 topical references will be found in the 
 List of Lectures (Handbook, 21). 
 
PART V 
 WEEKLY PAPERS 
 
 26. Purpose of the Exercise. 
 
 The weekly papers are brief written answers to questions 
 put upon the board, the exercise to come in the last fifteen 
 minutes of the lecture hour. In the list of lectures intended 
 respectively for HISTORY 13 (Handbook, 19), for HISTORY 14 
 (Handbook, 20), and for GOVERNMENT 12 (Handbook, 21), 
 will be found stated in each group of lectures some general 
 subjects connected with those lectures. Upon these subjects 
 students are expected to read, so as to be prepared to form 
 and express in writing, an opinion with reference to some 
 minor point which might arise under the general subject. 
 Thus, under the question of the methods of annexing territory 
 to the United States, the paper might ask for a discussion of 
 the question whether Cuba could be annexed by joint resolu- 
 tion without the consent of the Cuban government ; under the 
 general question of the Jay treaty might fairly come a ques- 
 tion whether Jay could have got a better treaty ; under the 
 general subject of implied powers might be asked the question 
 whether the United States could constitutionally charter a 
 government university. 
 
 The purpose of the system is, therefore, to train students in 
 applying what they have already learned to the formation of a 
 judgment on a specific question which they have never before 
 considered. This is believed to be one of the most important 
 parts of the courses ; and a student who, for any reason, fails 
 
 114 
 
26,27] PURPOSE OF WEEKLY PAPERS 115 
 
 to hand in or make up fourteen out of the fifteen papers re- 
 quired in each half-year, may be considered not to have fur- 
 nished the evidence that he is pursuing the course in a 
 systematic manner. 
 
 The general subjects under which questions are to be set 
 in each course are enumerated in Handbook, 32-123, and 
 under each will be found some specimen questions, to show the 
 scope and extent of the work. 
 
 All the papers will be read and corrected by a competent 
 critic (instructor or assistant), and returned to the writer with 
 written criticisms. The returned papers will be found in the 
 appointed boxes, commonly at the second exercise after they 
 are written. Stated conference hours will be held, at which 
 students may discuss their paper work. To facilitate the 
 handling of the papers, students will be expected to write 
 them on the uniform blanks, furnished to the classes. 
 
 27. Preparation for the Papers. 
 
 Since the weekly papers are the part of the course which 
 calls for most individual thought and judgment, students are 
 usually interested to come to them with suitable prepara- 
 tion. Two things are necessary in order to write a good 
 paper: the student must carry in his mind the general principles 
 which he has acquired up to that point of the course ; and he 
 must have read and thought intelligently on the subject under 
 which the question is to be asked. For the latter purpose, a 
 special set of references is provided on thirty general subjects 
 in each of the three courses (Handbook, 32-123). 
 
 Particular stress is laid upon the " sources," and especially 
 the "cases." The use of such material is excellent prelimi- 
 nary practice in the work of the lawyer, legislator, and publicist ; 
 and the judgments formed upon sources are more likely to be 
 
116 WEEKLY PAPERS [ 
 
 original and pertinent. The reading done by way of prepara- 
 tion for the weekly papers will be found a valuable part of the 
 general preparation for the courses. 
 
 On some questions the references to the HISTORY 13 ques- 
 tions (Handbook, 32-61) will be found serviceable in ques- 
 tions on government, and vice versa. 
 
 28. Special Directions for the Weekly Papers in 
 History 13. 
 
 Papers will regularly be called for in the last fifteen minutes 
 of the Saturday exercise. Occasionally a paper will be post- 
 poned, and two papers called for at the next Saturday exercise ; 
 in that case they will take the place of the lecture. The ques- 
 tions, several in number, so as to allow an option, will be dis- 
 tributed in print. 
 
 It will be noticed that the topics included in the list do not 
 cover the whole field of constitutional law or government; 
 they are selected on account of their connection with the nar- 
 rative lectures and history. For instance, the paper on implied 
 powers will come into the course just after an account of the 
 creation of the first United States Bank; and the paper on 
 secession after a discussion of the crisis of 1860-1861. 
 
 In answering the constitutional questions students are allowed 
 to have before them the text of the Constitution, and they are 
 expected to refer to all the clauses of the Constitution which 
 seem to them applicable to the specific question which they 
 are discussing. For this purpose the text of the Constitu- 
 tion in the American History Leaflets, No. 8, will be found 
 convenient. They are expected, also, to apply whatever 
 general principles they may have acquired in the course, 
 as to the powers and limitations of the national and State 
 governments. 
 
27-31] SPECIAL DIRECTIONS 117 
 
 29. Special Directions for the Weekly Papers in 
 History 14. 
 
 In this advanced course attention can be given not only to 
 questions of the application of international law, but also to 
 questions relating to negotiations, and to some disputed points 
 and issues. Saturday will be the normal paper day. 
 
 30. Special Directions for the Weekly Papers in 
 Government 12. 
 
 As the course is not one in constitutional law, but in the 
 practice of government, the subjects for weekly papers will 
 commonly be discussions of political and governmental 
 methods. Saturday will be the regular paper day. 
 
 31. Materials for Weekly Papers in History 13. 
 
 Thorough, intelligent, and systematic reading is necessary 
 for success in the papers. To this end have been provided the 
 sets of references on each of the thirty questions printed in 
 Handbook, 32-61. In HISTORY 13 about one-fourth of the 
 weekly papers are on other than constitutional questions ; and 
 for such papers reference is made chiefly to the usual secondary 
 books, and to easily accessible sources. 
 
 Most of the books will be found in the "Government" 
 alcove in the Reading Room of the Library ; or in the " HISTORY 
 13" reserved library; some of them in the Evans Library. 
 Throughout the list below, the best books are marked with an 
 asterisk (*). In preparing for the papers it is always well to 
 read two contrasting views on contested questions. 
 
 For the constitutional subjects more elaborate classified 
 references will be provided. There are two points of view for 
 every question of statecraft in United States history : first, the 
 circumstances which surrounded and influenced an event; 
 
118 WEEKLY PAPERS [ 
 
 second, the underlying principles of government involved. 
 Hence there are two groups of authorities of about equal 
 importance, the narrative history and the treatise. 
 
 313. List of Historical Discussions. 
 
 In HISTORY 13 the historical discussions serve as a connection 
 between the narrative part of the course and the constitutional 
 questions, especially those included in the weekly papers ; but 
 such discussions need to be supplemented by study of the 
 sources, in particular of cases. 
 
 Lists of the principal secondary works on United States 
 history will be found in the Guide, 20, 25 ; another list of 
 works on American history in Theodore Clarke Smith, General 
 Index to the American Statesmen Series. The following authors- 
 are the most significant for their discussion of constitutional 
 questions. They may all be found in the reserved books in 
 United States history, and many of them are also in the Evan& 
 Library.

 ance is always the decisions of the courts, and especially of 
 the Supreme Court of the United States. These decisions are 
 printed in eight groups of publications, to be found in the 
 Harvard Law Library, the State Library, and many other 
 legal libraries. The official United States Supreme Court 
 Reports and the collections of select cases are also reserved in 
 the Reading Room of the Harvard College Library. 
 
124 WEEKLY PAPERS [ 
 
 (1) OFFICIAL REPORTS OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED 
 
 STATES. 
 
 These official reports embody the most important material 
 for forming a judgment on the nature of our government, the 
 division of powers between nation and State, arid the distribu- 
 tion of powers among the departments of government. They 
 are published in several forms: (1) a series of consecutive 
 reports, indicated down to 1882 by the name of the reporter 
 (Dallas to Otto), since 1882 (1875) under the title United States 
 Reports ; (2) in condensed reports compiled by various authors 
 (Peters to Miller) ; (3) since 1882 in a series issued by the 
 West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minn. Any particular 
 case included in the reports of the United States Supreme 
 Court, District, Circuit, or Circuit Court of Appeals, and any 
 case from other national courts or State courts, so far as 
 included in the publications of the West Company, may be 
 ordered by the name of the case (e.g., Ware v. Hylton) by 
 forwarding twenty-five cents. In the lists of reports, the 
 abbreviations are in the usual form of citations.

 (3) OFFICIAL REPORTS OF INFERIOR JUDICIAL COURTS. 
 
 No official reports of the district or circuit courts have been 
 published, nor any systematic private reports till recently. 
 The Court of Claims is included in Handbook, 3 Id, among 
 the administrative tribunals. When the new Circuit Courts of 
 Appeals were established in 1891, an official series was estab- 
 lished which continued till 1899 as follows: 
 U U. S. APP." [1891-1899] United States Courts of Appeals 
 Reports : Cases adjudged in the United States Circuit 
 Courts of Appeals (63 vols., N. Y., 1893-1899). 
 
 (4) UNOFFICIAL REPORTS OF INFERIOR JUDICIAL COURTS. 
 
 The lacunae in the official sources have been very efficiently 
 filled by three systematic publications, which include all the 
 decisions from district, circuit, and circuit appeals courts. 
 There are similar publications of State cases arranged in geo- 
 graphical groups.

 3id. Historical Sources. 
 
 For the narrative questions, and often for the constitutional, 
 recourse must be had to contemporary discussions and argu- 
 ments. A bibliography and description of such materials 
 may be found in Channing and Hart, Guide to the Study of 
 American History, ' 27-35 ; in the introduction to each of the 
 four volumes of American History told by Contemporaries / 
 and in New England History Teachers' Association, Historical 
 Sources in Schools. Among the most important sources are the 
 Journals of Congress ; records of debates ; works of public men 
 containing public speeches and state papers ; autobiographies 
 and reminiscences ; President's messages ; statutes and treaties 
 of the United States ; elaborate biographies containing docu-

 62. Materials for the Weekly Papers in History 14. 
 
 Use freely the cross references to the Handbook, and other 
 bibliographical references at the head of each paper (Hand- 
 book, 63-92). A bibliography of American diplomacy will 
 be found in A. B. Hart, Foundations of American Foreign 
 Policy, ch. viii (analysis at page x of the Contents). This list 
 includes bibliographical aids, secondary works, and sources. 
 
 The general works which will be of most service are enumer- 
 ated in Foundations, 78A, 78B, and in Handbook, 9, 12, 
 3ld. Many of the biographies of diplomats will also be ser- 
 viceable : see Foundations, 79F; Guide, 32. Books on 
 special topics will be found in Foundations, 78 A, 78 D. 
 Critical estimates of the value of the principal secondary books 
 in American history are printed in J. N. Lamed, Literature of 
 American History, a Bibliographical Guide. 
 
 Many periodical articles are mentioned in the references for 
 papers in diplomacy (Handbook, 63-92), and in the list of 
 diplomatic lectures (Handbook, 20) ; other articles may be 
 reached through the invaluable Index to Legal Periodical Liter- 
 ature (2 vols.), by L. A. Jones, which refers to many sets not 
 strictly legal in character. Special essays and scattered dis- 
 cussions, if gathered into book form, can be reached through

 93. Materials for the Weekly Papers in Govern- 
 ment 12. 
 
 The bibliography of American government has not yet been 
 worked into convenient form : a few aids are listed in Hand- 
 book, 13. Titles of the books most suitable for Government 
 12 are printed in the lists of Text-books, Essential Reference 
 Books, and Special Collections in Government (Handbook, 
 9, 10, 13) ; in the specific references inserted in the list of 
 lectures in Government (Handbook, 21) ; and in the refer- 
 ences to thirty selected topics in Government (Handbook, 
 94-123). Use freely the cross references to the Handbook at 
 the head of each paper. 
 
 The secondary books are not very numerous, and most of 
 the useful titles are included in some of the sections of the 
 Handbook just cited ( 9, 10, 13, 21, 94-123). Treatises on 
 American Constitutional Law (select list in Handbook, 
 
92-94] GROWTH OF URBAN POPULATION 223 
 
 treatises on American government, and treatises on interna- 
 tional law (Foundations^ 78(7) touch on many governmental 
 relations. 
 
 Much of the available material on government appears in 
 periodicals : the best for our purpose are Municipal Affairs ; 
 Political Science Quarterly / Yale Review ; American His- 
 torical Review / Quarterly Journal of Economics ; Quarterly 
 Journal of Political Economy / Atlantic Monthly ; Forum ; 
 North America?i Jteview ; Nation ; also the publications of the 
 American Historical Association, American Academy of Polit- 
 ical and Social Science, and American Economic Association. 
 These sets and others can be reached so far as they contain 
 material on public law and public science through A. L. 
 Jones, Index to Legal Periodical Literature (2 vols.). Col- 
 lected essays (often very useful and very hard to locate pre- 
 vious to Fletcher's second edition) are carefully catalogued in 
 W. I. Fletcher, " A. L. A" Index to General Literature (2d 
 ed., 1901). 
 
 On source materials on government there is as yet no proper 
 guide; the lists of lectures (Handbook, 21) and the special 
 references below (Handbook, 94-123) attempt some guidance 
 to first-hand materials. Reports of judicial cases often deter- 
 mining questions of national, State, or local government are 
 enumerated in Handbook, 31c.

 SPECIAL REPORTS 
 
 124. Purpose of the Exercise. 
 
 In courses in which there is a great demand upon the libra- 
 ries, it is not feasible to require all students to delve for them- 
 selves in a large collection of primary books, as a preparation 
 for the lectures. This necessary part of the historical training 
 is therefore to be sought in the special reports. In preparing 
 them, students are expected to find out for themselves things 
 not stated in any of the general authorities. The system will 
 introduce them to the most serviceable authors ; it will make 
 them familiar with the sources of information on American 
 history ; it is intended to develop their powers of analysis and 
 statement, and to interest them in the unsettled questions of 
 our history. 
 
 To each student, from time to time, will therefore be 
 assigned a very limited special topic, on which he is expected 
 to make a condensed report, based upon original authorities, 
 and supported also by use of the best secondary discussions. 
 The result ordinarily need not be stated in literary form, but 
 may be more like a brief ; in all cases, however, students must 
 give exact reference to the authorities used on all significant 
 points. The work of preparation is to be done under the 
 personal direction, and to the satisfaction, of an assistant 
 specially assigned for the purpose, acting under the instructor's 
 guidance. 
 
250 SPECIAL REPORTS [ 
 
 In the special directions below will be found suggestions for 
 reports on the following subjects: bibliography ( 129, 130), 
 constitutional questions ( 131, 132), slavery questions ( 133, 
 134), pre-constitutional diplomacy ( 136), Federal diplomacy 
 ( 137), and on various topics in government ( 139-153). 
 
 In assigning reports particular pains will be taken to see that 
 no two students in a course have the same subjects ; and so far 
 as possible topics will be chosen which have not been worked 
 out in published books or articles. There are many interesting 
 points in American history and government which have never 
 been examined by any scholar, and there is, therefore, an 
 opportunity for some distinctly original work. 
 
 In assigning reports, as much attention as possible will be 
 paid to the preference of the student, as indicated in his appli- 
 cation on entering the course. But if any student finds in the 
 lists printed below, or elsewhere, a particular subject which he 
 wishes to have assigned to him, he may hand in a written re- 
 quest to that effect. It is impossible to assign subjects all of 
 which will prove Of equal difficulty and importance, and some- 
 times the question set may prove barren ; in such cases a reas- 
 signment will be made. 
 
 125. Constitutional and Political Reports, in His- 
 tory 13. 
 
 In the course in United States history (HISTORY 13) three 
 reports will be required from each student, two in the first half- 
 year and one in the second half-year. 
 
 The topics will be given out at least a month before reports 
 are due. It is expected that students will put upon the special 
 report work from one-third to one-quarter of the whole time 
 spent upon the course; and no student will receive a pass 
 mark in the course who has not gained at least a passing grade 
 on this part of the work. 
 
124-126] CONSTITUTIONAL AND POLITICAL 251 
 
 The work of preparing the reports must invariably be done in 
 consultation with the assistant on reports, and no reports will 
 be received without evidence that at least three conferences 
 have been held with the assistant. 
 
 Unless a previous arrangement has been made with the 
 instructor or assistant, no overdue reports will be received, 
 except with the Recorder's stamp, showing that the delay is 
 excused at the college office. 
 
 The subjects will be as follows : 
 
 Kept. No. 1. Due November 15. The bibliography of a pub- 
 lic man (Handbook, 129-1305). 
 November 1. Last day for first conference. 
 November 8. Last day for second conference. 
 November 15. Last day for receiving completed 
 reports. 
 
 Kept. No. 2. Due January 15. A constitutional inquiry 
 (Handbook, 131, 1325). 
 January 3. Last day for first conference. 
 January 8. Last day for second conference. 
 January 15. Last day for receiving completed 
 reports. 
 
 Kept. No. 3. Due April 15. A discussion of slavery (Hand- 
 book, 133, 134). 
 
 April 1. Last day for first conference. 
 April 8. Last day for second conference. 
 April 15. Last day for receiving completed re- 
 ports. 
 
 126. Diplomatic Reports, in History 14. 
 
 The materials in diplomacy are not so abundant nor so sys- 
 tematized as in history or government, and the course presup- 
 poses that the students have had training in the use of books 
 
252 SPECIAL REPORTS [ 
 
 and the preparation of written work. Only two reports will 
 therefore be required, one in each half-year. The subjects are 
 broader and more various than in HISTORY 13, and more nearly 
 approach the thesis in character. The instructor will be glad 
 to help students, in his conference hours, on this side of their 
 work. The topics will be as follows : 
 
 1. Dae February 15. Some phase of pre-constitutional di- 
 
 plomacy (Handbook, 136). 
 
 2. Due June 15. Some phase of diplomacy in the Federal 
 
 period (Handbook, 137). 
 
 127. Government Reports, in Government 12. 
 
 In the course on government (GOVERNMENT 12), the special 
 reports constitute a considerable part of the year's work ; they 
 are designed to open up various ranges of materials and doc- 
 trine, and hence eight special reports will be called for, four in 
 each half-year. As the students are advanced and the topics 
 numerous and very directly related to the subject matter of 
 the course, it is expected that great attention will be paid to 
 the special reports ; but students are warned against trying to 
 write elaborate and exhaustive theses upon these subjects. 
 The topics will be as follows : 
 
 1. Due November 15. Some phase of American political 
 
 methods (Handbook, 139-142). 
 
 2. Due December 15. The actual workings of some part of 
 
 the State government (Handbook, 143). 
 
 3. Due January 15. The actual workings of some part of 
 
 the local government (Handbook, 144). 
 
 4. Due February 15. The actual workings of some part of 
 
 the national government (Handbook, 145-147). 
 
 5. Due March 15. The actual workings of some territorial 
 
 function (Handbook, 148). 
 
126-128] DIPLOMACY AND GOVERNMENT 253 
 
 6. Due April 15. The actual workings of some financial 
 
 function (Handbook, 149). 
 
 7. Due May 15. Some phase of the workings of the com- 
 
 mercial system (Handbook, 150). 
 
 8. Due June 15. Some phase of the workings of the war 
 
 power, foreign power, or police powers (Handbook, 
 151-153). 
 
 128. General Directions for Special Reports in His- 
 tory 13. 
 
 For the convenience of the instructor in handling the reports, 
 and for the training of students in methodical habits of work, 
 and in order to accustom them to arrange their material for 
 others' use, the following general directions will be found im- 
 portant. Students will be held responsible for following them 
 out carefully. Particular directions and suggestions for each 
 report will be found below : 
 
 ASSIGNMENT. So far as possible, the preference of the student 
 for a particular line of investigation will be consulted ; for this 
 purpose students are required when they enter any of the 
 courses to fill out a blank form with an account of their previ- 
 ous study and a list of preferred topics. Any student may 
 take up a new subject, by the consent of the assistant, 
 record to be made of every such change. 
 
 AUTHORITIES. Abundant information as to bibliographies 
 and other aids may be found in other parts of the Handbook ; 
 and in Channing and Hart, Guide. Students will also be held 
 responsible for such information as may be had from the fol- 
 lowing collections : 
 
 (a) The card catalogue in the Delivery Room of the Harvard 
 College Library. 
 
 (b) The bibliographies, encyclopaedias, dictionaries, and other 
 aids in the Reading Room of the Library. 
 
254 SPECIAL REPORTS [ 
 
 (c) The reserved books in Colonial and United States history, 
 or international law and diplomatic history, or government, all 
 in the Reading Room. The usual arrangement of the books is 
 alphabetically by authors. 
 
 (d) Congressional documents and other official material in 
 the Reading Room. 
 
 (e) Such special authorities as may be found to be of special 
 service, especially sources. 
 
 Note that the Evans Reference Library in United States his- 
 tory in Harvard 2 contains many of the standard reading books. 
 
 ASSISTANCE. It is a principle of the whole work that the 
 actual search for the books must be done by students them- 
 selves. No other assistance or guidance will be expected in 
 this exercise except from the instructor and regularly appointed 
 assistant. Whenever, after a faithful attempt, students are 
 not able to bring to light sufficient information on their subject, 
 or meet contradictions or difficulties which they do not know 
 how to explain, they are expected to apply to the assistant. 
 The library officials should not be asked to furnish material, or 
 to show students how to use catalogues and other aids ; the 
 assistant will cheerfully give such aid to those who need it. 
 It is not desired that a student should be discouraged at the 
 outset for want of guidance ; nor that he should avoid the 
 lesson which the exercise is meant to teach the independent 
 use of books and aids. 
 
 CONFERENCE. All students are required to report to the as- 
 sistant at least three times. 
 
 (1) When they begin work upon their topic, so as to be 
 sure that they understand what is expected of them. 
 
 (2) At least once during the progress of their work, so that 
 the assistant may know that they are on a right road. 
 
 (3) In order to submit their notes or completed report for 
 the assistant's approval before handing in the report. 
 
128] GENERAL DIRECTIONS 255 
 
 These requirements are absolute ; no report will be credited 
 to a student unless it bear the assistant's minute of three 
 conferences. 
 
 METHODS. As one of the principal objects of the special 
 report work is to train students in acquiring information on 
 any subject, with the greatest economy of time and the great- 
 est clearness of result, every student is urged to think out a 
 method for himself. A very convenient way is to take notes 
 on loose sheets, each piece of paper being devoted to some 
 branch of the general subject; the information gained from 
 different books is thus assembled in a classified form, and when 
 the sheets are arranged, the material for the condensed report 
 is brought together in logical order. In all cases, exact refer- 
 ences to volume and page must support all important state- 
 ments ; in giving authorities the author's name should precede 
 the title of the book. No reports will be accepted in which 
 references are lacking or indefinite. Except in the biblio- 
 graphical report ( 129) every reference must be to a book 
 or passage which the student has seen himself ; and if there 
 are serious discrepancies between authorities, they should be 
 pointed out. The effort will be made to assign only topics on 
 which there is positive information ; but if a diligent search in 
 the proper books brings little to light, the work will be as read- 
 ily accepted as though more had been found. 
 
 FORM OF THE REPORT. All the reports are to be handed in 
 on the uniform sheets with printed headings, on which topics 
 are handed out. Do not fold the papers. The amount of time 
 spent should be noted. Dates should be entered in the narrow 
 outside column ; subject matter only in the broad middle 
 column ; references in the inner column, next to the folding in 
 the sheet. On the back of the page the text should still come 
 into the middle column. Additional sheets should be of the 
 same size and ruling, and should be attached by mucilage or 
 
256 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REPORTS [ 
 
 sewing, not by fasteners or pins. Since one of the objects of 
 the exercise is to teach conciseness, the length of the report 
 should be kept within limits. 
 
 ARRANGEMENT. The matter should be logically arranged, 
 point by point, the heads indicated by catch-words in the date 
 column, or by underlining. Students are warned against try- 
 ing to write theses instead of brief reports. Special notice 
 will be taken of neatness of arrangement, precision of the 
 references, and uniformity of abbreviations and classification 
 in different parts of the same piece. Wherever the sub- 
 ject admits of such a method, students should analyze and 
 classify their results, so as to show the subordination of the 
 topic and the progress of the thought. On application to the 
 assistant the searcher may see a former report on a similar 
 subject, which will show him how others have done their work. 
 
 THE RETURN OF THE REPORT. Ten hours of faithful work 
 in each report is about the minimum ; if no satisfactory result 
 is then reached, the notes may be shown the assistant and his 
 approval asked, or a new subject tried. In any case credit 
 cannot be given for reports unless handed in to the assistant 
 on the day appointed, unless they bear the stamp of the Re- 
 corder of the college. 
 
 129. Bibliographical Special Reports (see Handbook, 
 
 7, 8). 
 
 OBJECT. The first report is intended to teach students how 
 to find books and articles, how to cite references, and how to 
 arrange results. 
 
 SCOPE. To each student is assigned some person connected 
 with the history of the United States. The report is to be a 
 list of the printed books, pamphlets, and magazine articles 
 bearing on that person, with a very brief statement of the 
 public services which make him worthy of remembrance. No 
 list of works by the person is desired. 
 
128, 129] DIRECTIONS 257 
 
 AUTHORITIES. Students will be held responsible for all titles 
 which can be obtained through the following authorities : 
 
 (a) The bibliographical aids used in the course, especially 
 Handbook, 11, 18, 19, 20; Guide, 16, 20, 25, 32, 33, 34. 
 
 (6) The card catalogue in the Delivery Room of the Harvard 
 College Library. 
 
 (c) The encyclopaedias and biographical dictionaries in the 
 Reading Room of the Library. 
 
 (d) The bibliographical helps and library catalogues in the 
 Reading Room of the Library, including F. Leypoldt, Ameri- 
 can Catalogue. 
 
 (e) Indexes to periodicals, to be found in the Reading 
 Room, especially W. F. Poole, Index to Periodicals, and 
 Supplements; W. I. Fletcher, A. L. A, Index ; L. A. Jones, 
 Index to Legal Periodicals. 
 
 (/) Bibliographies of books relating to the person, in biogra- 
 phies, encyclopaedias, biographical dictionaries, or histories. 
 
 (g) Accounts in collections of biographies, so far as con- 
 veniently accessible. 
 
 (7i) Accounts reached through the footnotes to detailed 
 biographies or histories. 
 
 SELECTION. Only those books are to be enumerated in which 
 the whole, or a distinct or specific part, a chapter, section 
 or article, however short, is devoted to the person. Thus, 
 under Washington, it will not be necessary to enter scattered 
 references from books primarily on the Revolution, or on the 
 United States, or on Virginia ; but titles ought to be found in 
 a collection of Lives of the Presidents, or of Great American 
 Generals, or Essays on Members of the Federal Convention. 
 Hence it is necessary to know what public station the person 
 has filled. Since, however, in many cases the books, articles, 
 and sections devoted wholly to one man are very few, the 
 student who has only a scanty lot, after exhausting the biblio- 
 17 
 
258 BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REPORTS [ 
 
 graphical aids, may then add extracts from general histories 
 and biographies, not less than one page in length, wholly given 
 up to the man. 
 
 METHODS. The most convenient method is to go through 
 the bibliographical aids, setting down each promising title on 
 a slip or card, and keeping them arranged alphabetically ; then 
 to arrange in some logical order and write out consecutively. 
 Students are not expected to call for a long list of books from 
 the Library simply to verify titles. 
 
 VERIFICATION. Students are expected to verify for them- 
 selves the titles of all books accessible in the open part of the 
 Harvard College Library. Insert the Library number of all 
 books. The instructor will be very glad to have students 
 search out books not in Cambridge, but to be found in the 
 Boston Athenaeum, Boston Public Library, or other Boston 
 libraries. The precise form of the title of books, if published 
 before 1870, may usually be found for authors from A to S in 
 J. Sabin, BibUotheca Americana ; if in print in 1876 or since 
 that time, in F. Leypoldt, American Catalogue. 
 
 FORM OF REPORT. Titles should be arranged in each section 
 alphabetically by authors. References and abbreviations should 
 be punctuated systematically. In order that the title be suffi- 
 ciently full to identify the book, the place of publication and 
 date should always be given, and the number of pages and 
 size of the book when those particulars are found. All refer- 
 ences to parts of books must show the precise volume and page. 
 
 130. Bibliographical Subjects. 
 
 The list of public men below includes most of the names on 
 which reports have already been prepared in HISTORY 13, and 
 many others. 
 
 In making up the assignments the most distinguished men 
 have to be omitted, because experience shows that the material 
 
129-130a] 
 
 LIST OF PUBLIC MEN

 is so large that a disproportionate amount of work must be 
 spent upon them. On the other hand, it is important to choose 
 persons who are not so insignificant that nothing has been 
 written about them. 
 
 isoa. Alphabetical List of Public Men. 
 
 About five hundred and ten names appear in the list in this 
 section. Of these most were famous in the Revolutionary and 
 later history of the United States; a few in the period of dis- 
 covery or in the colonial period. After each name appears the 
 person's highest office or most characteristic calling.

 131. Constitutional Special Reports. 
 
 OBJECT. This report is intended, like the weekly papers 
 (Handbook, 26), to train students in applying to specific 
 cases the general principles of the Constitution ; but instead of 
 undertaking to give an opinion off-hand and without the use of 
 books, they will be expected to bring to bear upon their ques- 
 tion all the authorities which they can command. 
 
 SCOPE. Each topic will be a simple question in constitu- 
 tional law, and, so far as possible, a very detailed question. 
 18 
 
274 CONSTITUTIONAL REPORTS [ 
 
 The report is to be a brief statement of the conclusions which 
 the student has reached, with the reasons for those conclusions ; 
 but in the report it is expected that objections to the position 
 taken will be stated and discussed, and the reasons for setting 
 them aside will be made apparent. Students are cautioned 
 against making these reports vague, and especially against 
 copying opinions of jurists or statesmen without showing how 
 they affect the results. A series of bald extracts from, or ab- 
 stracts of, authorities is not considered a report. It is expected 
 that the subject will be logically developed in analyzed heads, 
 each worked out in arguments backed up by references to the 
 authorities upon which the opinion is based ; and brief quota- 
 tions may well be introduced to show the character of the 
 evidence. Special notice will be taken of a systematic analysis 
 of the subject and a neat form of statement, in which the 
 main heads of the argument are clearly stated. 
 
 AUTHORITIES. Bibliographies of the Constitution will be 
 found in Handbook, 19, 21c, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37-61, 95- 
 123, 138; Justin Winsor, Narrative and Critical History, VII, 
 255-266 ; W. E. Foster, References to the Constitution ; A. B. 
 Hart, Federal Government, 38, 469, and Actual Government; 
 J. G. Barnwell, Reading Notes to the Constitution. Use also the 
 bibliographical introductions or footnotes to the best books on 
 constitutional history and constitutional law (Handbook, 31a, 
 31J). 
 
 Students will be expected to refer to any parts of the Con- 
 stitution bearing upon their subject, to study the constitutional 
 treatises, to examine acts of Congress and other evidences of 
 the practice of the government with reference to their subject, 
 and to make use of Supreme Court Reports and other re- 
 positories of official legal opinions (Handbook, 31c). 
 
 The principal authorities on constitutional law will be found 
 in the alcove containing books on government. Duplicates of 
 
131, 132] DIRECTIONS 275 
 
 many of these books will be found in the Evans Library, and 
 in any good public or private law library. The footnotes to 
 these treatises should lead to other commentaries, and especially 
 to decisions of the United States Supreme Court and other 
 courts. Some of the treatises are enumerated in Handbook, 
 32&, and lists of legal reports of cases and aids to the study 
 of constitutional questions will be found in Handbook, 32c. 
 
 CONFERENCE. In addition to the conference hours of the 
 assistant, the instructor may himself be consulted at hours to 
 be hereafter announced. 
 
 METHOD. The easiest and most complete way of handling 
 the subject is to take notes upon loose sheets, appropriating 
 one for each branch of the subject as it is developed. The 
 student may then go through all the authorities, searching 
 simply for discussions which may seem to him to bear upon 
 the point, and taking his references, point by point. He will 
 then have a body of classified references, and may go back to 
 those which he has marked as being most helpful. By com- 
 paring the various authorities thus collected in each sub- 
 division of the subject seriatim, he will be able to come to a 
 decision for himself. 
 
 132. Subjects for Constitutional Special Reports. 
 
 Out of this list of about 1,000 subjects for investigation in con- 
 stitutional subjects, many are discussed at more or less length 
 by the treatise writers, or in special monographs. References 
 at the section heads will lead to some of the special materials. 
 In general the topics are very limited, so that the available 
 materials can be exhausted. Of the following subjects a 
 large number have been tested and give opportunity for proper 
 discussion. Students may arrange for a change of subject 
 if it seems hard to find suitable evidence. In Handbook, 
 139-153, will be found lists of questions in practical govern-

 133. Special Reports on Slavery. 
 
 OBJECT. The purpose of this report is to make the student 
 acquainted with slavery in actual practice, as a social and 
 economic institution ; and at the same time to make him familiar 
 with the literature of the subject. 
 
 SCOPE. Each student has assigned to him some phase or 
 event in the history or workings of slavery ; on this subject he 
 is to write a condensed narrative, freely introducing quotations 
 from books or other authorities. 
 
 METHODS. A careful use of classified library catalogues, of 
 the indexes and tables of contents of books, and of the special 
 chapters upon the subject in the standard histories is essential. 
 Students who have family or other connections in the South, 
 or among old abolitionists, are also advised to write to people 
 who are likely to have some personal knowledge of the subject 
 which they are studying, and to ask for information at first 
 hand. All material ought to be classified and the results 
 stated in a logical form.

 135. General Directions for Special Reports in 
 History 14. 
 
 The smaller size of the class and the presumable experience 
 of the students in written work make unnecessary many of 
 the fixed rules required for like work in the narrative course. 
 Students are expected to travel their own road, though the 
 instructor will always be ready in his conference hours to give 
 advice and assistance. 
 
 ASSIGNMENT. From the list of lectures (Handbook, 20), 
 from the list of subjects for special reports (Handbook, 136, 
 137), and from their previous knowledge of such studies, students 
 may select or suggest subjects ; and they are invited to make 
 their preferences known. Some of the subjects call for simple 
 narrative treatment; but nearly all involve some contested or 
 doubtful question which students are expected to elucidate. 
 
 AUTHORITIES. The bibliographical guide for the course is 
 Foundations of American Foreign Policy, eh. viii, which is 
 a classified list with brief comments. At the desk of the Read- 
 ing Room of the Library will be found a copy of this bibliogra- 
 phy, with library numbers in the margin. Other bibliographical 
 aids are enumerated in Foundations, 77 ; and in Handbook, 
 12. Some classified references will be found in the list of 
 lectures (Handbook, 20), and in the materials for weekly 
 papers (Handbook, 62-92). Besides the Harvard College 
 Library other near-by collections will be found serviceable by 
 
376 DIPLOMATIC REPORTS [ 
 
 investigators (see Handbook, 8). The Harvard Law School 
 Library is rich in treatises, collections of cases, statutes, etc. 
 The Boston Athenaeum has a special fund for books on inter- 
 national law and diplomacy. The Boston Public Library has 
 a vast general collection. On many of the subjects the Con- 
 gressional Documents will be necessary. (See Guide, 30; 
 Foundations, 796.) 
 
 METHODS. No fixed system for collecting materials, deciding 
 on conclusions, and stating the results can be recommended. 
 In the Guide, 12, are some suggestions on the subject. The 
 main thing must always be to take notes on separate slips of 
 paper or cards or sheets, which may be classified and brought 
 together in new combinations. Care should also be taken to 
 note specific references, and to insert in the report such as are 
 most to the point. Brief quotations are often very helpful. 
 Compare the Directions for Reports in History 13 (Handbook, 
 128). Students may at any time examine reports prepared in 
 previous years, so as to see how other people have reached and 
 recorded their results under like circumstances. 
 
 136. Special Reports in Pre-Constitutional Diplo- 
 macy. 
 
 In the first half-year the class will be at work on the founda- 
 tion building of American diplomacy, and the reports will 
 correspond. The elaborate secondary works, the older sets of 
 creaties, the Revolutionary and Confederation correspondence, 
 will be found especially serviceable (Handbook, 135). The 
 following is a list of a few possible subjects, on some of which 
 reports have been prepared by students in this course in former 
 years.

 Government 12. 
 
 Since in this graduate course in government students are ex- 
 pected already to have acquired methods of research and abil- 
 ity to state results clearly, the reports will lead to an intimate 
 knowledge of the sources and will give practice in investigating 
 the actual working of institutions. 
 
 ASSIGNMENT. The whole set of eight reports will be assigned 
 to each student at the beginning of the year, and will, in 
 many cases, have a relation with each other. The student's 
 own interests and opportunities for inside knowledge of parts 
 of the American system of government will receive special at- 
 tention ; and whenever possible reports will be assigned which 
 
384 GOVERNMENT REPORTS [ 
 
 will lead a student to make use of personal investigation into 
 public affairs. 
 
 AUTHORITIES. The reserved books on government are first 
 to be exhausted. After that, students are expected to draw 
 from available libraries, and to supplement their work, wher- 
 ever it is necessary, by correspondence and personal inquiry. 
 
 The bibliographical aid which corresponds most closely in 
 plan with this course is Actual Government, which contains a 
 general bibliography and classified special bibliographies ; W. 
 E. Foster, References on the Constitution, is useful ; and foot- 
 notes to the treatises on constitutional law and government 
 will be helpful. For general suggestions, Handbook, 13, 21, 
 93, 127, 128, 139-153. 
 
 FORM. It is always desirable to put the references in a 
 column parallel with the text of the report, and to set off the 
 dates in a separate column. Students are not expected to write 
 elaborate theses. 
 
 RETURN OF THE REPORT. In order to keep the work up, it 
 is essential that reports be handed in promptly, at the time in- 
 dicated in Handbook, 127. In the case of mature graduate 
 students, who wish to have control of their time so as to do 
 their work in long stretches, special arrangements may be made 
 with the instructor. 
 
 139. Special Reports on Political Theory. 
 
 OBJECT. These reports are intended to lead students to the 
 sources in the study of political doctrines, and to state the 
 result in analytical form. 
 
 SCOPE. Each assignment will be a political principle upon 
 which the opinions of a designated body of writers are to be 
 gathered and clearly set forth, with suitable extracts and 
 references. 
 
 Care should be taken to refer to exact editions where a book 
 has been several times revised or edited.

 OBJECT. This set of reports is intended to bring out ques- 
 tions of practice rather than questions of powers or of constitu- 
 tional interpretation, and thus to make the student acquainted 
 with the actual spirit of State government. 
 
 AUTHORITIES. The specific literature on State government is 
 still very small. Some material may be found through Hand- 
 book, 21e, 33, 34, 43, 44, 57, 61, 102, 103, 122, 123; Actual 
 Government, chs. viii-x. On questions of detail the students 
 must use the constitutional treatises, especially those which, 
 like Wharton and Bateman and Von Hoist, include State law 
 (Handbook, 316). The reports of State executive officers and 
 of investigating committees are often useful. The Secretary of 
 State in each State is the usual medium of official information.

 EXAMINATIONS 
 
 154. Purposes and Methods of Examinations. 
 
 In courses in which there is abundant written work, exam- 
 inations are necessary not so much to test the faithfulness of 
 students as to find out how far they are able to apply what 
 they have learned, without referring again to books. The 
 examinations also test the ability of the student to select the 
 most important things in the lectures and in his reading, and 
 to remember them when called upon. 
 
 There will be no regular hour examinations in any of the 
 courses. 
 
 The mid-year examination in History 13 will be set so 
 as to test the parallel reading of the student. In History 
 14 it will cover the whole half-year's work. In Government 
 12 it will cover the whole half-year's work. The final ex- 
 amination in History 13 will test the cumulative knowledge 
 of the whole year, though dwelling less on the details of 
 the first half-year's work. In History 14 and Government 
 12 the examinations will cover only the ground of the second 
 half-year's work, except in so far as questions have arisen 
 in the course since the mid-years which require reference to 
 earlier work. There will be geographical questions in all 
 papers, both narrative and descriptive (Handbook, 17). 
 
 Special notice will be taken of ability in examination books 
 to show the relation and connection between facts which have 
 not been linked together in the courses. Perhaps the best 
 method to prepare for an examination, after due reading, is 
 
 436 
 
[154] METHODS OF EXAMINATION 437 
 
 to discuss the principal questions of the course with fellow- 
 students. 
 
 A set of specimen papers follows ( 155-160). 
 
 For the examination room the following suggestions may be 
 found useful : 
 
 1. Come into the examination fresh and able to think clearly. 
 
 2. Read the paper through before beginning to write, and 
 'decide which of the alternative questions you will choose, if 
 such are offered. 
 
 3. If you are doubtful of the meaning of a question, apply 
 to the instructor in charge. 
 
 4. Write legibly ; ink is much preferred. 
 
 5. Write in a straightforward narrative style; make your 
 meaning clear. 
 
 6. Arrange and paragraph your work neatly and systemat- 
 ically. 
 
 7. Indicate subdivisions of logical argument in such a way 
 as readily to catch the eye. 
 
 8. Full answers to a part of the questions may be better 
 than insufficent answers to the whole. 
 
 9. Less stress will be laid on dates and details than on an 
 ability to distinguish the significant points in the work gone 
 over, and to understand their relations ; a good general com- 
 prehension can, however, be based only on a previous study of 
 details. 
 
 10. Have an opinion of your own, and express it. If it 
 differs materially from the views taken in the lectures, be able 
 to state the grounds for dissent, but stand to it. 
 
 11. After working an hour, rest four or five minutes; and 
 do the same at the end of the second hour. 
 
 12. Just before the examination books are called in, take 
 time to revise and correct what you have written, even though 
 you have not finished the paper.

 All or any of these evils might have been endured by the South 
 without danger to the Union (as others have been), in the hope that 
 time and reflection might apply the remedy. The immediate peril 
 arises, not so much from these causes, as from the fact that the inces- 
 sant and violent agitation of the Slavery question throughout the 
 North for the last quarter of a century has at length produced its 
 malign influence on the slaves, and inspired them with vague notions 
 of freedom. Hence, a sense of security no longer exists around the 
 family altar. This feeling of peace at home has given place to appre- 
 hensions of servile insurrection. Many a matron throughout the 
 South retires at night in dread of what may befall herself and her 
 children before the morning. Should this apprehension of domestic 
 danger, whether real or imaginary, extend and intensify itself until it 
 shall pervade the masses of the Southern people, then disunion will 
 become inevitable. Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and 
 has been implanted in the heart of man by his Creator for the wisest 
 purpose ; and no political union, however fraught with blessings and 
 benefits in all other respects, can long continue, if the necessary con- 
 sequence be to render the homes and the firesides of nearly half the 
 parties to it habitually and hopelessly insecure. Sooner or later, the 
 bonds of such a union must be severed. It is my conviction that this 
 fatal period has not yet arrived ; and my prayer to God is, that He 
 would preserve the Constitution and the Union throughout all 
 generations.
