Book Notes and Acknowledgments
A memorial volume dedicated to Benjamin Franklin Sham-
baugh has been published by the State Historical Society of
Iowa. It is fitting that the Society should publish the life of and
so honor a man who has spent so many years in its service.

With the publication this spring of Arthur M. Schlesinger's
Political and Social Growth of the American People, 1865-1940
(New York: The Macmillan Co., 1941; pp. xxi, 783; $3.25), the
Macmillan Company has completed the third edition of its two-
volume survey text in American history. The new division at
1865 gives recognition to a well-established trend to divide the
survey course at the close of the Civil War. Thirty-one chapters
covering 676 pages, an appendix containing a copy of the Con-
stitution of the United States and a List of Books Cited, and
an index of fifty pages, together with fifty illustrations and
thirty maps, tables, and charts, make up this interesting volume.

The American Nation, by John D. Hicks (Boston: Houghton
Mifflin Co., 1941; pp. xviii, 734; $3.50), completes this author's
two-volume text for a survey course in American history. This
volume continues the high standard set by the first volume.
There are fifty-three illustrations and fifty-one maps in this
volume, all of which in one way or another can serve the pur-
poses for which they were included. Thirty chapters cover the
remainder of the 734 pages of the text. Separately paged, a
"List of Books Cited," twenty-four pages in length, indicates
the pages of the text where references to the books occur, and
a workable index of thirty pages completes the volume.
