“EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ IT.”—_The News, Providence._

The Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson.

By THOMAS E. WATSON, Author of “The Story of France,” “Napoleon,” etc. Illustrated with many Portraits and Views. 8vo. Attractively bound, $2.50 net; postage, 17 cents additional.

Mr. Watson long since acquired a national reputation in
connection with his political activities in Georgia. He
startled the public soon afterward by the publication of a
history of France, which at once attracted attention quite as
marked, though different in kind. His book became interesting
not alone as the production of a Southern man interested in
politics, but as an entirely original conception of a great
theme. There was no question that a life of Jefferson from the
hands of such a writer would command very general attention,
and the publishers had no sooner announced the work as in
preparation than negotiations were begun with the author by two
of the best-known newspapers in America for its publication in
serial form. During the past summer the appearance of the story
in this way has created widespread comment which has now been
drawn to the book just published.

_Opinions by some of the Leading Papers._

“A vastly entertaining polemic. It directs attention to many
undoubtedly neglected facts which writers of the North have
ignored or minimized.”—_The New York Times Saturday Review of
Books._

“A noble work. It may well stand on the shelf beside Morley’s
‘Gladstone’ and other epochal biographical works that have come
into prominence. It is deeply interesting and thoroughly fair
and just.”—_The Globe-Democrat, St. Louis._

“The book shows great research and is as complete as it could
possibly be, and every American should read it.”—_The News,
Providence._

“A unique historical work.”—_The Commercial Advertiser, New
York._

“Valuable as an historical document and as a witness to certain
great facts in the past life of the South which have seldom
been acknowledged by historians.”—_The Post, Louisville._

UNLIKE ANY OTHER BOOK.

A Virginia Girl in the Civil War.

Being the Authentic Experiences of a Confederate Major’s Wife who followed her Husband into Camp at the Outbreak of the War, Dined and Supped with General J. E. B. Stuart, ran the Blockade to Baltimore, and was in Richmond when it was Evacuated. Collected and edited by MYRTA LOCKETT AVARY. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25 net; postage additional.

“The people described are gentlefolk to the backbone, and
the reader must be a hard-hearted cynic if he does not fall
in love with the ingenuous and delightful girl who tells the
story.”—_New York Sun._

“The narrative is one that both interests and charms. The
beginning of the end of the long and desperate struggle is
unusually well told, and how the survivors lived during the
last days of the fading Confederacy forms a vivid picture of
those distressful times.”—_Baltimore Herald._

“The style of the narrative is attractively informal and
chatty. Its pathos is that of simplicity. It throws upon a
cruel period of our national career a side-light, bringing out
tender and softening interests too little visible in the pages
of formal history.”—_New York World._

“This is a tale that will appeal to every Southern man and
woman, and can not fail to be of interest to every reader. It
is as fresh and vivacious, even in dealing with dark days, as
the young soul that underwent the hardships of a most cruel
war.”—_Louisville Courier-Journal._

“The narrative is not formal, is often fragmentary, and is
always warmly human.... There are scenes among the dead and
wounded, but as one winks back a tear the next page presents a
negro commanded to mount a strange mule in midstream, at the
injustice of which he strongly protests.”—_New York Telegram._

“Taken at this time, when the years have buried all resentment,
dulled all sorrows, and brought new generations to the scenes,
a work of this kind can not fail of value just as it can
not fail in interest. Official history moves with two great
strides to permit of the smaller, more intimate events; fiction
lacks the realistic, powerful appeal of actuality; such works
as this must be depended upon to fill in the unoccupied
interstices, to show us just what were the lives of those
who were in this conflict or who lived in the midst of it
without being able actively to participate in it. And of this
type ‘A Virginia Girl in the Civil War’ is a truly admirable
example.”—_Philadelphia Record._
