The Story of the Nations.
MESSRS. G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS take pleasure in announcing that they have
in course of publication, in co-operation with Mr. T. Fisher Unwin,
of London, a series of historical studies, intended to present in a
graphic manner the stories of the different nations that have attained
prominence in history.
In the story form the current of each national life is distinctly
indicated, and its picturesque and noteworthy periods and episodes are
presented for the reader in their philosophical relation to each other
as well as to universal history.
It is the plan of the writers of the different volumes to enter into
the real life of the peoples, and to bring them before the reader as
they actually lived, labored, and struggled—as they studied and wrote,
and as they amused themselves. In carrying out this plan, the myths,
with which the history of all lands begins, will not be overlooked,
though these will be carefully distinguished from the actual history,
so far as the labors of the accepted historical authorities have
resulted in definite conclusions.
The subjects of the different volumes have been planned to cover
connecting and, as far as possible, consecutive epochs or periods, so
that the set when completed will present in a comprehensive narrative
the chief events in the great STORY OF THE NATIONS; but it is, of
course, not always practicable to issue the several volumes in their
chronological order.
The "Stories" are printed in good readable type, and in handsome 12mo
form. They are adequately illustrated and furnished with maps and
indexes. Price, per vol., cloth, $1.50. Half morocco, gilt top, $1.75.

Heroes of the Nations.
EDITED BY
EVELYN ABBOTT, M.A.,
FELLOW OF BALLIOL COLLEGE, OXFORD.
A series of biographical studies of the lives and work of a number
of representative historical characters about whom have gathered the
great traditions of the Nations to which they belonged, and who have
been accepted, in many instances, as types of the several National
ideals. With the life of each typical character will be presented a
picture of the National conditions surrounding him during his career.
The narratives are the work of writers who are recognized authorities
on their several subjects, and, while thoroughly trustworthy as
history, will present picturesque and dramatic "stories" of the Men
and of the events connected with them.
To the Life of each "Hero" will be given one duodecimo volume,
handsomely printed in large type, provided with maps and adequately
illustrated according to the special requirements of the several
subjects. The volumes will be sold separately as follows:
Large 12°, cloth extra $1 50
Half morocco, uncut edges, gilt top 1 75

TRANSCRIBER'S ENDNOTE.
In the List of Illustrations, corrected the page number for "OLD
HOUSES, DÔL" to "265", and for the entry "FUNERAL OF EADWARD THE
CONFESSOR", to "273".
Page 32: changed "literture" to "literature".
Page 40: "whenever-they" to "whenever they".
Page 101: "separted" to "separated".
Page 142: the beginning quotation mark removed from "The medical and
philosophical schools ..."
Page 145: "almosts without number," to "almost without number,".
Page 161: opening quotation mark inserted before "First" in "The
candidates swore: First,".
Page 174: the close quotation mark is missing from the paragraph
beginning '1002. "In this year ...'. It is not entirely clear where it
belongs; perhaps after 'evil.', where it has been placed.
Page 178: The passage "all England south of the Thames—East Anglia and
Essex and London" seems wrong, as these areas are mostly north of the
Thames.

places.
Page 222: "wordly" to "worldly".
Page 247: "chieftan" to "chieftain".

Burgundy, 106; war with Dreux, 108;". Also changed "Cnut's likeness
to, 157; 278. 282, 306" to "Cnut's likeness to, 157, 278, 282, 306".
Page 373: "character, of, 64;" to "character of, 64;".
