Author: Various

PUBLISHERS FOREWORD - THE History Circle first met at the City Club of New York in May, 1917. Its object is to study and present in simple form past national and inter national experiences for such light as they may throw on present events and policies. The membership of the History Circle is restricted to American citizens, and comprises histor... more »ians of authority, busi ness men, editors, engineers, writers, and others. A committee of these members has given labour for over a year to the preparation of this monograph, whichcon stitutes the first publication in the series that the History Circle has in plan. A number of the professors of history in the leading universities have contributed to thework the service of their own research and of their authoritative criticisms. The judgment of businessmen has been given in regard to the availability of the mate rial for the interest and apprehension of the general public. Editors and other literary workers have contributed their aid to the final shaping of the material. The work of these contributors and col laborators has been rendered gratuitously and anonymously, but the publishers are able to speak with personal knowledge of their authority and reputation. The publishers call attention to the letter from Thomas Jefferson to President Monroe, which is here reproduced in facsimile. The reproduction of the letter was placed at the disposal of the History Circle by the Congressional Library in Washington. The author of the Declaration of Independence, writing in 1823, expressed his hopeful confidence in the coming about of certain conditions, which condi tions have now, a century later, been in part secured. The text of British-American Discords and Concords summarizes the relations between Britain and America during the three centuries which have elapsed since Englishmen continent. first settled on the American The main purpose of the narrative is to present facts, but space has been found to weave into the text a thread of philosophy and of human interest which prevents it from being a mere re cord of events, and which gives evidence of the vital relations of certain of these events to phases of the present great war. Following the narrative, will be found a list presenting one hundred and thirty re ferencesfrom leading American historians which bear out the statements and the conclusions of the text. The volume contains further a bibliography giving titles of some ninety works for broader reading on the subject. It is hoped that the public reception given to this first work of the History Circle will warrant the publication of further monographs, similar in general purpose and character.
