"The only scholarly work in English, as yet [1902], which seeks to give
a concise comparative view of the administrative, as distinguished
from the constitutional law of the countries named. It is based upon
a first-hand study of the essential material, but is written with a view
to the needs of students rather than of mature scholars...A consolidated
index accompanies each volume." Larned's Literature of American
history.
Helper, Hinton Rowan.
The impending crisis of the South; how to meet it. 1857. . .T326 H43
The last chapter is on "Southern literature."
"This book, written by a North Carolinian, created a tremendous sensation
forty years ago. Its thesis is that slavery has ruined the South,
in the interests of the slave-holders at the expense of the non-slaveholders.
This is established by statistics illustrating southern inferiority
as compared with the North...The statistics, though accurate, are
unfair because incomplete. The book is written in the most violent
anti-slavery temper, appealing as much to the passions as to the intellects
of its readers." Larned's Literature of American history.
