  • The History of the Standard Oil Company

    With many illustrations, portraits, and reproductions of important documents. Two volumes. Cloth, 8vo, second edition, $5.00 net; postage extra

    “It ranks among the few great historical undertakings of American authors of this generation.”—Outlook.

    Life of Abraham Lincoln

    With 32 full-page illustrations, cloth, 8vo, two volumes, boxed, $5.00 net; expressage extra

    Drawn from original sources, and containing many speeches, letters, and telegrams hitherto unpublished.

    Miss Tarbell’s “Life of Abraham Lincoln” is now enjoying a greater popularity and a higher ranking than in any previous year of its publication. Alone, it was sufficient in accomplishment to place her in the leading rank of biographers, and it promises to hold indefinitely its undisputed position.

    “Miss Tarbell’s work presents a portrait that no student of history can afford to miss.”—Brooklyn Eagle.

    Father Abraham

    Illustrated in colors by Blendon Campbell. Cloth, 12mo, 50 cents net

    He Knew Lincoln

    Uniform with the author’s “Father Abraham.” Fourth edition, illustrated with colored frontispiece by Blendon Campbell and illustrations by Jay Hambidge. Cloth, 12mo, 50 cents net

    Madame Roland

    Portrait frontispiece, cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net

    An intimate biographical study, largely derived from hitherto unpublished sources, of one of the most interesting women of the French Revolution.

    From the late Professor Goldwin Smith, Toronto, Canada

    “It is not only a most decisive confutation of the Protectionist fallacy, but a rich repertory of illustrative facts. If anything can successfully contend against the passion for the accumulation of wealth, entrenched as it is in political power, Mr. Franklin Pierce’s reasoning, supported by his array of the results of experience, will prevail.”

    From Miss Ida M. Tarbell, author of “The Tariff in Our Times”

    “It strikes me as being an unusually interesting and important presentation of the subject. I have never seen a better comparative statement of British and American shipping than your vivid chapter. I wish it could be widely read.”

    From George A. Fuller, Master of the New York State Grange, Philadelphia, N. Y.

    “I consider it the most useful contribution to the literature on the trust question that has ever been published.... absolute fairness in dealing with a question that few men have the ability to discuss without being influenced in their judgment by the traditions and policies of their favorite political party. He has given us a treatise ... which appeals to men’s reason and common sense, regardless of their party affiliations. The chapter entitled ‘A Talk with Farmers’ is unique in its force and simplicity, and in the crushing force of its logic.”

    From David Starr Jordan, President of Leland Stanford University

    “... Admirable presentation of the question of tariffs and trusts. The book is sound, wise, and timely.”
