Gordon Wood's Empire Of Liberty: A History of the Early Republic, 1789-1815 arrived today; it's the latest volume in the excellent Oxford History of the United States series. (The Stanford Department of History was nice enough to give all of us Coe Fellows last summer a copy of What Hath God Wrought: The Transformation of America, 1815-1848 by Daniel Walker Howe--another first-rate entry in this series.) Looking forward to digging into this book.
