is really a victory, and the legislatures of these States
are deeply pledged to ratify the constitutional amendment,
if passed by congress. We look forward hopefully to the
discussion in congress. The majority report of the Senate
cannot fail to secure attention, and I hope your present
convention will bring together national forces that will
greatly influence the debate.

MY DEAR MISS ANTHONY: Perhaps a brief account of what has
been done with the two packages of "The History of Woman
Suffrage" which you sent me for distribution in Europe may
prove interesting to the convention. In the first place,
sets in sheep have been deposited already, or will have been
before spring, in all the great continental libraries from
Russia to France, and from Denmark to Turkey. In the second
place, copies in cloth have been presented to reformers,
publicists, editors, etc, in every country of the old
world. This generous distribution of a costly work has
already begun to produce an effect. Besides a large number
of private letters from all parts of Europe acknowledging
the receipt of the volumes and bestowing on their contents
the highest praise, the History has been reviewed in
numerous reform, educational and socialistic periodicals and
newspapers in almost every modern European tongue. Nor is
this all. Every week a new pamphlet or book is sent me, or
comes under my notice, in which this History is cited,
sometimes at great length, and is pronounced to be the
authority on the American women's movement. I have carefully
kept all these letters, newspaper notices, etc., and at the
proper time I hope to prepare a little pamphlet for your
publisher on European opinion concerning your great work.

Very truly yours, THEODORE STANTON.

big History has had
