"The editors have done a superb job with the first volume, carefully annotating each document with enough appropriate background information so that even a nonspecialist can understand the context and appreciate the significance of allusions to contemporary individuals, organizations, or intellectual currents. The choices of items to be included were similarly based on the desire to produce a volume that might be read by a broader audience than the specialists who will mine the larger collection for research purposes. The editors began, as they explain, with the assumption that these volumes are a form of literature rather than simply a compendium of historical documents. The volume does read, as they had hoped, more like a good monograph than a piece of an archival project. . We will look forward to future volumes in this series ." - Richard Oestreicher in The Journal of American History, December, 1986.
