Several years ago a modest little volume called "The Evolution of an
Empire" set forth, with a lucidity that was as remarkable as its
brevity, the beginnings and growth of Germany; its author, Mary Platt
Parmele, has since followed the same methods in treating France and
England, and now brings out a fourth volume in the noteworthy series, a
somewhat larger book, called in full, "The Evolution of an Empire: A
Brief Historical Sketch of the United States," published, as were the
others, by William Beverley Harison (New York). In an interesting
preface Mrs. Parmele boldly explains her chief intention, which is to
disclose, in so vivid a light that he who runs may read, the fundamental
causes and their resulting events which have formed and are still
shaping our life.
