"The Life and Times of Richard Parks Bland" is a study of the

ten years of the Twentieth Century.
If you wish to. understand the United States thitf year, read
this book. It was written from tho papers of Richard Parks
Bland, with Personal Reminisceuces by Mrs. Bland and with an
Introduction by William Jennings Bryan. The Editor, William

in which Mr. Bland outlined tho course of events. The 400 pages
