Among scholars there has been during the last twenty years a decided modification in the old views of the causes which led to the American Revolution. This important book by the head of the history department in the University of Michigan is the first in which the results of these investigations and reconsiderations -- supplemented by twenty years of investigation by the author in the archives of America, France, and England -- have been used as a basis for a history that is at once illuminating, authoritative, and distinctly stimulating for the general reader as well as for the historical student.--Jacket.

"I have therefore brought together in these few lectures the findings of mental anthropology, which are now beginning to be garnered on a large scale; and I have tried to indicate, in as impartial and scientific a manner as is possible in this still obscure field, their bearing upon the great problems of national welfare and national decay. The body of the book is the substance of six lectures given at the Lowell Institute of Boston in the spring of this year. I have added in foot-notes some evidential matter which may be neglected by the cursory reader. And in appendices I have put forward certain proposals which, if they could be put into practice, would, I think, go far to remedy the present disastrous state of affairs. I would especially draw the attention of readers interested in political, economic, or social science to the evidence cited in this volume which indicates very strongly, if it does not finally prove, that the social stratification which exists in modern industrial communities is positively correlated with a corresponding stratification of innate moral and intellectual quality, or, in less technical language, that the upper social strata, as compared with the lower, contain a larger proportion of persons of superior natural endowments".
