Description
Excerpt from The United States: Its History and Constitution
The contents of the present volume, by the late Pro fessor Alexander Johnston, first appeared as the article of the Encyclopaedia Britannica on the history and Con stitution of the United States. The narrative, it should be borne in mind, ends with the year 1887 - the last of the period entitled by the author The Reconstructed Nation: 1865 There are, however, few details which the events of the past two years have modified, and few which need to be supplemented. Some slight verbal changes, Where evidently indicated, have been made in this sense, a note added with reference to the admission into the Union of Washington, Montana, and North and South Dakota, and the election of Harrison and Morton, and the prohibition of Chinese immigration chronicled It has not been thought advisable, however, to change or supplement the text in two or three other instances in which statistics of 1889 might have been given, but in which the reader will perceive those of 1887 to have been retained as better preserving the con sistency and significance of the passages in which they occur.
