EXTRACTS FROM A FEW OF THE REVIEWS

_AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW_: "The books are handsomely bound
and printed. The editing by Dr. Thwaites seems to have been
done with his customary care and knowledge. There is no want of
helpful annotations. =The books therefore are likely to be of
more real value than the early prints from which they are
taken.="

_THE OUTLOOK_: "Dr. Thwaites is the best possible editor who
could have been chosen for such a task."

"The student of society, as well as the historian, can profit
by the perusal of these travels;... they present, as is nowhere
else so well presented, the picture of society in the making in
the American back country."--FREDERICK J. TURNER in the _Dial_.

_THE NATION_: "Thoroughly interesting, as well as historically
valuable."

_Full descriptive circulars giving the contents of each volume may he
had on application._

DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF RECONSTRUCTION

Political, Military, Social, Religious, Educational & Industrial 1865
to the Present Time

SELECTED AND EDITED BY
WALTER L. FLEMING, Ph. D.
PROFESSOR OF HISTORY IN WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

_Printed on a specially made paper, illustrated with facsimiles, two
volumes, large 8vo, (about 900 pages), cloth, uncut, gilt tops. Price
per set, $10.00 net._

This work has been prepared in response to a demand on the part of
students and thoughtful readers for an adequate collection of
historical material which shall

1st. _Present the original sources, which alone give the true
contemporary conditions, and allow the reader to make his own
interpretation of the facts._

2nd. _Comprehend all phases of the progress and results of
Reconstruction, social and economic, as well as political._

3rd. _Exhibit not only the national aspects but also the local
conditions of Reconstruction, in all the States._

PROFESSOR FLEMING is recognized as one of the foremost authorities in
the country on the Reconstruction Period. The excellence of his
previous contributions on special topics in this field is sufficient
guarantee of the value of the present comprehensive work.

"It is certainly a most interesting and important
plan."--WOODROW WILSON.

"Every student ... will rejoice over this addition to his
facilities for intelligent appreciation of the great interests
involved in the sectional struggle of 1861-1865, and its
aftermath."--_Chicago Evening Post._

"I feel sure that your work will be of great interest and
benefit to the future historian."--THOMAS NELSON PAGE.

_Full descriptive circular and list of documents will be sent by the
publishers on application._
