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
