George Haven Putnam sends President Roosevelt a book on American history, which he considers an original, striking, and valuable contribution to the field. Putnam compares the author, Oliver, to George Otto Trevelyan in the sense that both are able to study American history with full freedom from the local prejudices characteristic of other British authors, although Putnam thinks Oliver is more critical than Trevelyan.
