UNIFORM WITH THE “BOOK OF AMERICAN EXPLORERS.” YOUNG FOLKS’ HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. BY THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON. Square 16mo. 380 pp. With over 100Illustrations. Price$1.50. The theory of the book can be briefly stated: it is, that American history is in itself one of the most attractive of all subjects, and can be made interesting to old and young by being presented in a simple, clear, and graphic way. In this book only such names and dates are introduced as are necessary to secure a clear and definite thread of connected incident in the mind of the reader; and the space thus saved is devoted to illustrative traits and incidents, and the details of daily living. By this means it is believed that much more can be conveyed, even of the philosophy of history, than where this is overlaid and hidden by a mass of mere statistics. “Compact, clear, and accurate.… This unpretending little book is the best general history of the United States we have seen.”—The Nation. “The book is so written, that every child old enough to read history at all will understand and like it, and persons of the fullest information and purest taste will admire it.”—Boston Daily Advertiser. “It is marvellous to note how happily Mr.Higginson, in securing an amazing compactness by his condensation, has avoided alike superficiality and dulness.”—Boston Transcript. AS A TEXT-BOOK IN SCHOOLS. One of the most successful teachers in Boston says, “Iam confident that the textbook has proved itself as reliable and comprehensive as it certainly is suggestive and entertaining. Iknow no book more helpful in promoting that crystallizing process in the student’s own mind by which the accessories and details group themselves around the main facts and ideas of the narration. On this account, it is equally valuable to teachers and scholars, to the examined and the examiners.” This work has been translated into German, and has been received with marked favor. The Leipsic literary correspondent of the “New-York Staats-Zeitung” says, that, in its German version, it is pronounced exceedingly interesting (hÖchst anziehende); and predicts that it will inspire universal delight (allgemeine Beliebtheit) in German readers. The Berlin “International Gazette” says, “Mr.Higginson has executed his task in a very clear and lucid manner, not making use of any hard aphorisms, so puzzling to the young, but placing himself on their level, and explaining every thing in so easy and gentle a manner, that he must be a very dull, or a very perverse scholar, who does not find his attention riveted.” ? Sold by all Booksellers, and sent by mail on receipt of price. LEE & SHEPARD, Publishers, 41 Franklin Street, Boston. T. W. HIGGINSON’S MISCELLANEOUS WORKS. OLDPORT DAYS. With ten Heliotype Illustrations. 12mo Cloth. $2.00. “In none of Mr.Higginson’s literary works has he been more happy than in ‘Oldport Days,’ the subject giving full scope to his playful, delicate fancy, and to his rare descriptive faculty.”—Worcester Spy. “The whole work is exquisitely done.”—Congregationalist. “Under the very obvious disguise of ‘Oldport,’ Colonel Higginson has given in his best style an elaborate description of the most celebrated watering-place in America.”—Arcadian. OUT-DOOR PAPERS. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. “These essays are full of genial humor and wholesome satire. They will lengthen the lives of their readers by a twofold process,—by their own fun, and by the impulse they will give the ‘patient’ to educate himself in the science of health. Read, all ye dyspeptic and headache subjects, all ye veterans in the ranks of General Debility, read and reform.”—Portland Transcript. ATLANTIC ESSAYS. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. “The perfection of Mr.Higginson’s style, the healthiness and robustness of his thought, the breadth of his sympathies, the common-sense that dominates his culture and varied scholarship, the fearless honesty with which he utters his most radical opinions, and the genuine love of humanity which glows in all he writes, give a charm to this volume that few of the books of the day possess.”—Woman’s Journal. ARMY LIFE IN A BLACK REGIMENT. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50. “Colonel Higginson, an enthusiastic advocate for colored troops, went himself to the tented field, ate army hard-tack, and saw and recorded the merits of the troops, and failed not also to note their shortcomings.”—Chicago Republican. “His account of swimming Corsen River at midnight, solitary and alone, to inspect the enemy’s pickets, is one of the finest chapters we have read for years.”—Woonsocket Patriot. MALBONE; AN OLDPORT ROMANCE. 1vol. 16mo. $1.50. “As a romance, it seems to us the most brilliant that has appeared in this country since Hawthorne (whom the author, in some points, has the happiness to resemble) laid down the most fascinating pen ever held by an American author.”—John G. Saxe. “One singularly clever and original sketch [‘Malbone’] has been brought out here … and is winning the highest praise. It pleases the severer tastes of the best school of critics, and, small as it is, insensibly heightens the whole estimate of American national literature.”—London Correspondence, Chicago Tribune. Sold by all booksellers, and sent by mail on receipt of price. LEE & SHEPARD, Publishers, Boston. |
