Book Review

Charity, Philanthropy, and Civility in American History. Ed. by Lawrence J. Friedman and Mark D. McGarvie. (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. xii, 467 pp. $40.00, ISBN 0-521-81989-X.)

The history of philanthropy in the United States has not had a book-length scholarly overview since Robert Bremner's American Philanthropy, first published in 1960 and revised only minimally in 1988. Charity, Philanthropy, and Civility in American History is an effort to fill the need for a volume that incorporates what in the intervening years has been a considerable body of work, including important research by many of the authors in this collection, most notably Kathleen D. McCarthy, David C. Hammack, Judith Sealander, Mary J. Oates, and Peter D. Hall.
