It TZ5. .?fjT! 'JF ' contains the choicest selections, upon ' ' thousands of topics, from those histo- ' -W rians whose writings have been accorded the highest place bylthe common consent of mankind. Mr. Larued does not attempt to do again in a poor way what the pens of the world's greatest students and ablest writers have already done in the best way, but he gives History on all topics in the exact words of the historians themselves. It will answer more questions in History, more authoritatively, with greater excellence of literary expression, and with a greater economy of time, than any other or even all other books in the world. DR. JOHN FISKE, M. A., Hlstorlln, Cambridge. The grouping of torpics is a great point in such a book and in this your success is signal. I believe it will prove one o the mo:-xt valuable reference books in existence. PROP. MOSES COIT TYLER, l'I. A., L. H. D., Cornell Unlverslty. It is the simple truth to say, that the longer my experiments lin test of History for Ready Referencel continued, the greater became my admiration for the ingenuity and simplicity of the plan of tlns great book. W. T. HARRIS, fl. A., Ph. D.. LL. D., U. S. Com. ol Education. It is one ofthe great objects of your History for Ready Reference to select the gems of history and accordingly each sc olar may possess within the compass of four or live volumes a large part of the most precious historical treasures. CHAS. KENDAL ADAMS, LL. D., Presldent Unlverslty ol Wisconsin. l I am surprised and delighted at its fullness and apparent accuracy. No other work of the kind is comparable with it. PRESIDENT JAMES B. ANGELL, LL. D., University ol fllchlgsn, Ann Arbor, Mlch. We have reason to be proud that an American scholar has produced this work so invaluable to every student of history and so indispensable to every library. HIRAM C. HAYDN, Ex-President Western Reserve Unlverslty, Cleveland. This is a great, useful and interesting work. We welcome and commend these elegant volumes without qualification. CHARLES F. THWING, President Western Reserve University. Cleveland. A book of books and a hook for books. EDWARD G. BOURNE. Professor ol Hlstory, Adelbert College. For the purposes ol ready reference, the work is much superior to any other in the English language. BISHOP JOHN H. VINCENT, D. D. Where the dictionary goes this history should go.
