need they otherwise would have filled in view of the recent scholarly
study by Dr. L. F. Hill: Diplomatic Relations between the United
States and Brazil (reviewed in the July, 1933, number of the
Southwestern Historical Quarterly, pp. 69-70). For part of that
study Dr. Hill used many original documents that are published
for the first time in the second volume that is under review. As
revealed by Dr. Hill's monograph, the official correspondence be-
tween the United States and Brazil, and, in addition, that of the
United States with Argentina and Bolivia, creates an unfavorable
opinion with reference to the diplomats of the United States in
those countries during the period covered by the correspondence.
A list of documents at the beginning of each volume and a most
comprehensive index for each volume are most useful. Numerous
critical and informative footnotes by Dr. Manning greatly enhance
the value of compilation.

should become a more intelligent citizen as a result of having
.studied this portion of the work.
The section on history (pp. 1-250), prepared by Professor
Bloom, represents a departure from the standard form of text-
books in state history in that individuals and events are sub-
ordinated to broad movements. Beginning with Spain, itself,
the narrative carries the reader rapidly through the transplant-
