The publishers feel justified in saying that the contemporaneous art of no country has ever been so adequately represented in a single volume as our American Painters are in this work, while the engravings are equal in execution to the finest examples of wood-engraving produced here or abroad.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"The richest and in many ways the most notable of fine art books is 'American Painters,' just published, with unstinted liberality in the making. Eighty-three examples of the work of American artists, reproduced in the very best style of wood-engraving, and printed with rare skill, constitute the chief purpose of the book; while the text which accompanies them, the work of Mr. George W. Sheldon, is a series of bright and entertaining biographical sketches of the artists, with a running commentary—critical, but not too critical—upon the peculiarities of their several methods, purposes, and conceptions."—New York Evening Post.
"The volume gives good evidence of the progress of American art. It shows that we have deft hands and imaginative brains among painters of the country, and it shows, moreover, that we have publishers who are liberal and cultured enough to present their works in a handsome and luxurious form that will make them acceptable. 'American Painters' will adorn the table of many a drawing-room where art is loved, and where it is made still dearer from the fact that it is native."—New York Express.
"It is at once a biographical dictionary of artists, a gallery of pen portraits and of beautiful scenes, sketched by the painters and multiplied by the engraver. It is in all respects a work of art, and will meet the wants of a large class whose tastes are in that direction."—New York Observer.
"One of the most delightful volumes issued from the press of this country."—New York Daily Graphic.
"Outside and inside it is a thing of beauty. The text is in large, clear type, the paper is of the finest, the margins broad, and the illustrations printed with artistic care. The volume contains brief sketches of fifty prominent American artists, with examples from their works. Some idea of the time and labor expended in bringing out the work may be gathered from the fact that to bring it before the public in its present form cost the publishers over $12,000."—Boston Evening Transcript.
"This book is a notable one, and among the many fine art books it will rank as one of the choicest, and one of the most elegant, considered as an ornament or parlor decoration. The engravings are in the highest style known to art. Mr. Sheldon has accompanied the illustrations with a series of very entertaining biographical sketches. As far as possible, he has made the artists their own interpreters, giving their own commentaries upon art and upon their purposes in its practice instead of his own."—Boston Post.
"'American Painters' consists of biographical sketches of fifty leading American artists, with eighty-three examples of their works, engraved on wood with consummate skill, delicacy of touch, and appreciation of distinctive manner. It is a gallery of contemporary American art."—Philadelphia Press.
"This work is one of surpassing interest, and of marvelous typographical and illustrative beauty."—Philadelphia Item.
"The whole undertaking is a noble one, illustrative of the best period of American art, and as such deserves the attention and support of the public."—Chicago Tribune.

THE
FRENCH REVOLUTIONARY EPOCH.
Being a History of France from the Beginning of the First French
Revolution to the End of the Second Empire.
BY
HENRI VAN LAUN,
Author of "History of French Literature," etc.
In 2 vols., 12mo. Cloth, $3.50.
"As a history for readers who are not disposed to make an exhaustive study of the subject treated, the book impresses us as eminently good."—N.Y. Evening Post.
"This work throws a flood of light on the problems which are now perplexing the politicians and statesmen of Europe."—N.Y. Daily Graphic.
"This is a work for which there is no substitute at present in the English language. For American readers it may be said to have secured a temporary monopoly of a most interesting topic. Educated persons can scarcely afford to neglect it."—N.Y. Sun.
"The opinion is here advanced and tolerably well fortified that Napoleon would have been beaten at Waterloo if BlÜcher had not come up. The book is a compendium of the events between 1789 and 1871: it is a popular treatment of the subject for students and family reading."—Chicago Tribune.
"Nothing can surpass the clearness of the narrative, and it may be truly said that this history is as interesting as a romance."—Philadelphia Press.
"The general reader will get, as he goes along with it, a more distinct idea of the salient features which marked the course of events than he might from some of the thousand and one more picturesque and more dramatic, but less truthful, histories of the same epoch."—N.Y. Express.
"We heartily commend it to our readers as one of the most compact, attractive, trustworthy, and instructive historical works in existence."—Utica Daily Observer.
"The author shows judgment and skill in culling from the large materials at command that which is of value, and also a masterly ability in presenting them tersely, and at the same time throwing in enough of incident and the lighter thought to make the volumes wholly enjoyable."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"If you desire to read facts and not theories, events and not imaginings, in chaste though vigorous language, peruse these volumes."—Providence Press.
"The author has accomplished a difficult and much-needed undertaking in a very satisfactory way."—Boston Journal.
"No student of American history can afford to be without this book."—St. Louis Times-Journal.
