"*Perry Miller, like all great historians*, in Reinhold Niebuhr's words, "*was both scientist and artist*." That combination is nowhere better seen in his work than in this posthumous work. For years Miller had been engaged in a vast enterprise that would continue the history of American mind begun with his definitive two-volume account of the intellectual life of New England.From manuscript in progress at his death, virtually two-thirds of the planned first volume of *The Life of the Mind in America* was found in finished form. It includes 'Book One, The Evangelical Basis', 'Book Two, The Legal Mentality', and 'Book Three, Science: Theoretical and Applied'.Winner of the 1966 Pulitzer Prize in History, *The Life of the Mind in America: From the Revolution to the Civil War* is a permanent contribution to American letters."*Perry Miller was the great intellectual historian of our generation, and this magnificent torso of a book is his legacy and monument*." -- Arthur M.
