Webster and the constitution. Bibliography. See Fos-
ter, W. E. Monthly reference list, v. 1. 1881........
See subheading of Polities under this subject. Also,
Congress in the general alphabet.

Note:-Story's Commentaries is still the standard
legal exposition of the constitution as it was before
the civil war. Fundamentally he holds that the con-
stitution is a government, established by the people,
and not a compact between states. See in this con-
nection the speeches of Webster on Foote's resolution.
For more elaborate presentations of the states rights
view of the constitution the works of Calhoun and
Alex. H. Stephens may be consulted. For an able but
bitter review of the shortcomings of the national
government in its dealings with nullification and
slavery, see Von Holst's Political and constitutional
history of the U. S., to 1830. Excellent surveys of col-
onial self-government, and tendencies to union, be-
fore the adoption of the constitution, are given in
the introduction to the 1st volume of Story's work, and
in Frothingham's Rise of the Republic. As a philosoph-
ical student of the political and social institutions of
the country, A. de Tocqueville is still pre-eminent.-

Note on works on the revolution:-Bancroft's is the
most elaborate history of the revolution. He is ad-
mitted even by unfriendly critics to have been as
indefatigable in research as confident in theorizing,'
while some pronounce his work to be not merely a
narrative, but a philosophic treatise, dealing with
causes and principles as well as events, and treating
with remarkable skill the progress of enlightenment
and liberal ideas.' He has been accused of doing in-
justice to such prominent generals as Greene, Schuy-
ler, and Sullivan, and to Joseph Reed. Irving's Life
of Washington is the most attractive standard history
of the revolution for general readers. Lossing in his
Pictorial Field-book illustrates with pen and pen-
cil the history, scenery, and local traditions of the
struggle. His Seventeen hundred and seventy-six'
is an earlier and more concise narrative. Ludlow's
War of independence is an excellent one-volume his-
tory, for young or old, and Abbott's Paragraph history
is highly commended. George W. Greene's historical
works are in high repute.-Brooklyn Catalogue.
