THE END.
D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.
_WITH THE FATHERS. Studies in the History of the United States._ By JOHN BACH MCMASTER, Professor of American History in the University of Pennsylvania, author of "The History of the People of the United States," etc. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The book is of great practical value, as many of the essays
throw a broad light over living questions of the day. Prof.
McMaster has a clear, simple style that is delightful. His
facts are gathered with great care, and admirably interwoven
to impress the subject under discussion upon the mind of the
reader."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
"Prof. McMaster's essays possess in their diversity a
breadth which covers most of the topics which are current as
well as historical, and each is so scholarly in treatment
and profound in judgment that the importance of their place
in the library of political history can not be
gainsaid."--_Washington Times._
"Such works as this serve to elucidate history and make more
attractive a study which an abstruse writer only makes
perplexing. All through the studies there is a note of
intense patriotism and a conviction of the sound sense of
the American people which directs the government to a bright
goal."--_Chicago Record._
"A wide field is here covered, and is covered in Prof.
McMaster's own inimitable and fascinating style.... Can not
but have a marked value as a work of reference upon several
most important subjects."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._
"There is much that is interesting in this little book, and
it is full of solid chunks of political
information."--_Buffalo Commercial._
"Clear, penetrating, dispassionate, convincing. His language
is what one should expect from the Professor of American
History in the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. McMaster
has proved before now that he can write history with the
breath of life in it, and the present volume is new
proof."--_Chicago Tribune._
"Of great practical value.... Charming and instructive
history."--_New Haven Leader._
"An interesting and most instructive volume."--_Detroit
Journal._
"At once commends itself to the taste and judgment of all
historical readers. His style charms the general reader with
its open and frank ways, its courageous form of statement,
its sparkling, crisp narrative and description, and its
close and penetrating analysis of character and
events."--_Boston Courier._
THE STORY OF THE WEST SERIES.
Edited by Ripley Hitchcock.
"There is a vast extent of territory lying between the
Missouri River and the Pacific coast which has barely been
skimmed over so far. That the conditions of life therein are
undergoing changes little short of marvelous will be
understood when one recalls the fact that the first white
male child born in Kansas is still living there; and Kansas
is by no means one of the newer States. Revolutionary indeed
has been the upturning of the old condition of affairs, and
little remains thereof, and less will remain as each year
goes by, until presently there will be only tradition of the
Sioux and Comanches, the cowboy life, the wild horse, and
the antelope. Histories, many of them, have been written
about the Western country alluded to, but most if not
practically all by outsiders who knew not personally that
life of kaleidoscopic allurement. But ere it shall have
vanished forever we are likely to have truthful, complete,
and charming portrayals of it produced by men who actually
knew the life and have the power to describe it."--_Henry
Edward Rood, in the Mail and Express._
_NOW READY._
_THE STORY OF THE INDIAN._ By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL, author of "Pawnee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"In every way worthy of an author who, as an authority upon
the Western Indians, is second to none. A book full of
color, abounding in observation, and remarkable in sustained
interest, it is at the same time characterized by a grace of
style which is rarely to be looked for in such a work, and
which adds not a little to the charm of it"--_London Daily
Chronicle._
"Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer
us a profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is
the Indian in thought, feeling, and culture. Only long
association with Indians can enable a white man measurably
to comprehend their thoughts and enter into their feelings.
Such association has been Mr. Grinnell's."--_New York Sun._
_THE STORY OF THE MINE._ By CHARLES HOWARD SHINN. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The figures of the prospector and the miner are clearly
outlined in the course of the romantic story of that mine
which more than any other embodies the romance, the
vicissitudes, the triumphs, the excitement, and the science
of mining life--the Great Comstock Lode. From the
prospector, through development and deep-mining, to the last
of the stock gambling, the story is told in a way that
presents a singularly vivid and engrossing picture of a life
which has played so large a part in the development of the
remoter West.
_IN PREPARATION._
The Story of the Trapper. By GILBERT PARKER.
The Story of the Cowboy. By E. HOUGH.
The Story of the Soldier. By Captain J. McB. STEMBEL, U. S. A.
The Story of the Explorer.
The Story of the Railroad.
_THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES_, 1789-1894. By JOHN FISKE, CARL SCHURZ, WILLIAM E. RUSSELL, DANIEL C. GILMAN, WILLIAM WALTER PHELPS, ROBERT C. WINTHROP, GEORGE BANCROFT, JOHN HAY, and Others. Edited by General JAMES GRANT WILSON. With 23 Steel Portraits, facsimile Letters, and other Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $3.50.
"A book which everyone should read over and over again....
We have carefully run through it, and laid it down with the
feeling that some such book ought to find its way into every
household."--_New York Herald._
"A monumental volume, which no American who cares for the
memory of the public men of his country can afford to be
without."--_New York Mail and Express._
"Just the sort of book that the American who wishes to fix
in his mind the varying phases of his country's history as
it is woven on the warp of the administrations will find
most useful. Everything is presented in a clear-cut way, and
no pleasanter excursions into history can be found than a
study of 'The Presidents of the United
States.'"--_Philadelphia Press._
"A valuable addition to both our biographical and historical
literature, and meets a want long recognized."--_Boston
Advertiser._
"So scholarly and entertaining a presidential biography has
never before appeared in this country.... It is bound to
become the standard of its kind."--_Binghamton Herald._
"It is precisely the book which ought to have a very wide
sale in this country--a book which one needs to own rather
than to read and lay aside. No common-school library or
collection of books for young readers should be without
it."--_The Churchman._
