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.

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._
"General Wilson has performed a public service in presenting
this volume to the public in so attractive a shape. It is
full of incentive to ambitious youth; it abounds in
encouragement to every patriotic heart."--_Charleston News
and Courier._
"There is an added value to this volume because of the fact
that the story of the life of each occupant of the White
House was written by one who made a special study of him and
his times.... An admirable history for the young."--_Chicago
Times._
"Such a work as this can not fail to appeal to the pride of
patriotic Americans."--_Chicago Dial._
"These names are in themselves sufficient to guarantee
adequacy of treatment and interest in the presentation, and
it is safe to say that such succinct biographies of the
complete portrait gallery of our Presidents, written with
such unquestioned ability, have never before been
published."--_Hartford Courant._
"A book well worth owning, for reading and for reference....
A complete record of the most important events in our
history during the past one hundred and five years."--_The
Outlook._
_THE DAWN OF CIVILIZATION._ (EGYPT AND CHALDAEA.) By Prof. G. MASPERO.
Edited by Rev. Prof. A. H. SAYCE. Translated by M. L. McCLURE. Revised
and brought up to date by the Author. With Map and over 470
Illustrations. Quarto. Cloth, $7.50.
"The most sumptuous and elaborate work which has yet
appeared on this theme.... The book should be in every
well-equipped Oriental library, as the most complete work on
the dawn of civilization. Its careful reading and studying
will open a world of thought to any diligent student, and
very largely broaden and enlarge his views of the grandeur,
the stability, and the positive contributions of the
civilization of that early day to the life and culture of
our own times."--_Chicago Standard._
"By all odds the best account of Egyptian and Assyrian
theology, or more properly speaking, theosophy, with which
we are acquainted.... The book will arouse many enthusiasms.
Its solid learning will enchant the scholar--its brilliancy
will charm the general reader and tempt him into a region
which he may have hesitated to enter."--_The Outlook._
"For a general comprehension of the dawn of civilization we
know of no stronger work."--_New York Times._
"You no sooner open it at random than you discover that
every paragraph is alluring and instructive. You may not
hope to read it through, even in a dozen sittings, but you
can not give a glance at any one of its pages without having
your attention specially challenged."--_New York Herald._
"The most complete reconstruction of that ancient life which
has yet appeared in print. Maspero's great book will remain
the standard work for a long time to come."--_London Daily
News._
_LIFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND ASSYRIA._ By G. MASPERO, late Director of
Archaeology in Egypt, and Member of the Institute of France. Translated
by ALICE MORTON. With 188 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A lucid sketch, at once popular and learned, of daily life
in Egypt at the time of Rameses II, and of Assyria in that
of Assurbanipal.... As an Orientalist, M. Maspero stands in
the front rank, and his learning is so well digested and so
admirably subdued to the service of popular exposition, that
it nowhere overwhelms and always interests the
reader."--_London Times._
"Only a writer who had distinguished himself as a student of
Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities could have produced this
work, which has none of the features of a modern book of
travels in the East, but is an attempt to deal with ancient
life as if one had been a contemporary with the people whose
civilization and social usages are very largely
restored."--_Boston Herald._
"A most interesting and instructive book. Excellent and most
impressive ideas also of the architecture of the two
countries and of the other rude but powerful art of the
Assyrians, are to be got from it."--_Brooklyn Eagle._
"The ancient artists are copied with the utmost fidelity,
and verify the narrative so attractively
presented."--_Cincinnati Times-Star._
_A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY_, from 1775 to 1894. By EDGAR
STANTON MACLAY, A. M. With Technical Revision by Lieut. ROY C. SMITH,
U. S. N. In two volumes. With numerous Maps, Diagrams, and
Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $7.00.
"The field is comparatively new, and Mr. Maclay has brought
to his task patience, assiduity, and patriotism.... Maps and
plans, and a great number of illustrations, add value to the
book, which is designed to be a permanent and useful
contribution to historical literature."--_New York
Observer._
"While the author has had the assistance of Lieut. Roy C.
Smith, U. S. N., in preparing those parts of his work which
are necessarily technical, he has wisely refrained from
confusing the general reader by an undue parade of
technicalities.... The narrative proceeds in a clear,
concise, and vigorous style, which very materially adds to
the character of the work."--_New York Journal of Commerce._
"The author writes as one who has digged deep before he
began to write at all. He thus appears as a master of his
material. This book inspires immediate confidence as well as
interest."--_New York Times._
"A most conscientious narrative, from which wise statesmen
may learn much for their guidance, and it certainly is one
of absorbing interest."--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
"Mr. Maclay is specially qualified for the work he has
undertaken. Nine years has he devoted to the task. The
result of his labors possesses not only readableness but
authority.... Mr. Maclay's story may be truthfully
characterized as a thrilling romance, which will interest
every mind that is fed by tales of heroism, and will be read
with patriotic pride by every true American."--_Chicago
Evening Post._
"A more valuable and important work of history than this has
not been issued from the press for many a day. It is not
only that this book tells a story never before told (for
Cooper's works never professed to tell the whole story of
our navy, even down to his own day), but that it is told
with true historic sense, and with the finest critical
acumen."--_New York Evangelist._
"A work which is destined to fill a noticeable gap in our
national annals."--_Philadelphia Bulletin._
"No better excuse for this important work could be desired
than that a navy with such a brilliant career on the whole
as has the American navy is without a full and continuous
record of its achievement.... The author has important new
facts to tell, and he tells them in a clear and graceful
literary style."--_Hartford Post._
"Mr. Maclay has deservedly won for himself an enviable place
among our American historians.... His researches have been
exhaustive and his inquiries persistent, and he has used his
wealth of material with a proper appreciation of historical
value."--_Boston Advertiser._
"Like the average young American, this author has an
enthusiastic appreciation of American valor on the high
seas, and he reproduces graphic sketches of battle scenes
and incidents in a way to insure for his book a hearty
welcome on the part of these who keenly enjoy this sort of
literature.... The illustrations of the old battle ships and
the conflicts at sea, made memorable as long as the history
of the American Republic shall live, add much to the
attractiveness of this book.... Professor Maclay has added a
substantial work to historical American
literature."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._
"It fills a place which has almost escaped the attention of
historians. Mr. Maclay's work shows on every page the minute
care with which he worked up his theme. His style is precise
and clear, and without any pretense of rhetorical
embellishment."--_New York Tribune._
_THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA._ A Study of the American Commonwealth,
its Natural Resources, People, Industries, Manufactures, Commerce, and
its Work in Literature, Science, Education, and Self-Government.
Edited by NATHANIEL S. SHALER, S. D., Professor of Geology in Harvard
University. In two volumes, royal 8vo. With Maps, and 150 full-page
Illustrations. Cloth, $10.00.
In this work the publishers offer something which is not
furnished by histories or encyclopaedias, namely, a succinct
but comprehensive expert account of our country at the
present day. The very extent of America and American
industries renders it difficult to appreciate the true
meaning of the United States of America. In this work the
American citizen can survey the land upon which he lives,
and the industrial, social, political, and other
environments of himself and his fellow-citizens. The best
knowledge and the best efforts of experts, editor, and
publishers have gone to the preparation of a standard book
dedicated to the America of the present day; and the
publishers believe that these efforts will be appreciated by
those who desire to inform themselves regarding the America
of the end of the century.
