"Dr. Schmitz's volume is sensibly written."—AthenÆum.

"Dr. Schmitz has the pen of a ready writer. He has the art of compressing what he has to say in a few words, and yet rendering his narrative lively and picturesque. It is attractively illustrated, and a capital historical map of the British Islands adds to its value."—National Schoolmaster.

"This well printed and bound school-book has been written on one of the best models, and is adapted from one of the most reliable of our histories—to wit, Sir Walter Scott's "Tales or a Grandfather." We have no little satisfaction in recommending it to teachers and parents throughout the country."—Greenock Telegraph.

"This little work is likely to be the History of Greece for junior classes for some time to come."—Schoolmaster.

"The work before us is a valuable addition to our school histories of Greece, and it bears a character somewhat unique, in that it is a reliable history for junior classes. An excellent feature in this work is that a continuation is given in the appendix from the date where the history ceases, B.C. 146, to the accession of King George, in 1862. This part of the book has been written by A. Grenadios, late Professor in the University of Athens. A large colored map of Ancient Greece adds to the value of the work."—National Schoolmaster.

"Considering the brief space into which this history is compressed, * * * many details must, of necessity, be omitted, and many others simply named; but the connecting links between the different periods are carefully retained, and every important passage in French history is adequately outlined."—N. Y. Tribune.

"For senior pupils who have mastered the outlines of British history, this volume would prove an interesting source of study; and for pupil teachers or others anxious to obtain a bird's-eye view of historical facts, the 'Landmarks' will form a very convenient text-book."—Schoolmaster.

"A comprehensive volume."—Albany Journal.

"No more suitable volumes can be placed in the lands of the young student of general history, while they afford convenient and interesting manuals of reference for the more mature reader."—N. Y. Tribune.

"These volumes will be popular and useful because they present these characters from an American stand-point by those eminently qualified to see and appreciate the qualities which have lifted them into a world-wide prominence."—American Journal of Education.

"It is in the character of statesmen simply that the divers personages are exhibited, but in this aspect they are without exception fairly and strongly portrayed."—Chicago Tribune.

"Each one of these essays gives you a clear picture of the man, and a definite idea of the work he has done, and the place he fills in political history."—Cornell Era.

"The book is masterly and satisfying, and we think it is not too much to say that it will prove of lasting value to the student of history, of philosophy, of theology, and of sociology, for in all those fields transcendentalism showed itself capable of exercising an influence profound, if apparently transient."—Appleton's Journal.

"It is a work that was needed; a history that waited to be written; a task which sooner or later some one must have attempted. To say it has been performed at last by Mr. Frothingham is to say that it has been well performed. It is a book that should be in every library."—Portland Press.

"It is in a word, an inestimable contribution to the history of transcendentalism in New England."—Hartford Post.

"There is no book in our literature which leaves a more keen, adventurous sense of delight."—Philadelphia Bulletin.

"Full of interest to the general reader, just in its criticisms of character, and of great value as a work of reference."—Portland Press.

Colonel Dodge has, during many years, held positions of responsibility on the Western frontier, and has enjoyed exceptional opportunities for obtaining an intimate knowledge of the life and habits of the Indians, and of the features of the great plains in which they live, and the record of his experiences and observations will be found not only most fascinating reading, but a trustworthy and authoritative guide on the subjects of which it treats.

Vol. I.—FROM ITS ORIGIN TO THE RENAISSANCE.

Vol. II.—FROM THE RENAISSANCE TO LOUIS XIV.

Vol. III.—FROM LOUIS XIV. TO NAPOLEON III. (In preparation.)

8vo, cloth extra, each, $2.50.

We have to deal with a people essentially spirited and intellectual, whose spirit and intellect have been invariably the wonder and admiration, if not the model and mould, of contemporary thought, and whose literary triumphs remain to this day among the most notable landmarks of modern literature. * * * Extract from Author's Preface.

"By far the best work of the kind."—College Courant.

This series has been planned to preserve, and to present in a form at once attractive and economical, the permanently valuable portions of those standard productions of the Essayists, which, as well for the perfection of their English style, as for the sterling worth of their matter are deservedly perennial.

"Mr. Habberton has given us a truly readable and delightful selection from a series of volumes that ought possibly never to go out of fashion, but which by the reason of their length and slightly antiquated form there is danger of our overlook".—Liberal Christian.

"If Bayard Taylor has not placed himself, as we are half inclined to suspect, in the front rank of novelists, he has produced a very remarkable book—a really original story, admirably told, crowded with life-like characters, full of delicate and subtle sympathies, with ideas the most opposite to his own, and lighted up throughout with that playful humor which suggests always wisdom rather than, mere fun."—London Spectator.

"'John Godfrey's Fortunes,' without being melodramatic or morbid, is one of the most fascinating novels which we have ever read. Its portraiture of American social life, though not flattering, is eminently truthful; its delineation of character is delicate and natural; its English, though sometimes careless, is singularly graceful and pleasant."—Cleveland Leader.

"Mr. Hayard Taylor's book is delightful and refreshing readings, and a great rest after the crowded artistic effects and the conventional interests of even the better kind of English novels."—London Spectator.

"As a picture of rural life, we think this novel of Mr. Taylor's excels any of his previous productions."—N. Y. Evening Post.

"A tale of absorbing interest."—Syracuse Standard.

"In Hayard Taylor's happiest vein."—Buffalo Express.

"By far the best novel of the season."—Cleveland Leader.

Bayard Taylor's Travels.

---

"To those who have more recently pitched their tents in California, the narrative of Taylor will have interest as assisting them to appreciate the wondrous changes that have been effected in this region since the days of turmoil, excitement, and daring speculation of which the tourist speaks."—Sacramento Union.

"We have read many of Bayard Taylor's readable books—and he never wrote one that was not extremely interesting—but we have never been so well pleaded with any of his writings as we are with the volume now before us, 'A Journey to Central Africa.'"—Binghamton Republican.

"In point of flowing narrative and graphic description, this volume is fully equal to the previous works which have given Mr. Bayard Taylor such an eminent place among modern travellers."—Harper's Monthly.

"This is one of the most interesting books that Bayard Taylor has ever made. It is in a large measure autobiographical. Whatever has most impressed him in any part of the earth is noted in some one of these letters."—Taunton Gazette.

"A volume from Bayard Taylor is always a pleasure. He not only knows how to travel and how to enjoy it, but he excels in giving entertainment by his narration to others."—Bangor Whig.

"Of all travellers, no one pleases us more than Bayard Taylor. He sees what we most desire that he should see, and he tells us that which we most desire to know."—New Bedford Mercury.

"There is no romance to us quite equal to one of Bayard Taylor's books of travel."—Hartford Republican.

"We need say nothing in praise of Bayard Taylor's writings. He travels in every direction, and sees and hears pretty much all that is worth seeing and hearing. His descriptions are accurate, and always reliable and interesting."—Syracuse Journal.
