A NEW AND COMPLETE HISTORY AND
IA Description ofNEW ENGLAND, in two vol
umes Royal Octave, 1900 pages,-By j. L.
MANSFIELD.
This elaborate and comprehensive history is
now in press and will soon be published. 1t
covers the whole historic period from the earliest
exploring expeditions and colonial enterprises by
the different maritime powers Of Europe to the
present time
The superiority ofthis work over all others that
have been published heretofore, is that ii is not
general history, but history in detail. The
names Of all the towns are arranged in alphabet
cal order according to States, and the history of
each traced from the time that the first European
foot pressed its soil the pioneer settler raised
his cabin and commenced an opening in its forest.
1t is embellished with
UPWARDS OF ONE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS!
Some illustrating events that have occurred during
different periods in history and others views of
cities, villages and landscapes, characteristic of
the bold and magnificent scenery for which New
England is justly noted. The Typographical des-
cripton Of the country is very important feature
Of the work, and is illustrated by
SIX LARGE STEEL PLATE MAPS,
Showing the location and boundary lines of all the
counties and towns described in the body of tn c
work. The statistics of the productive industry
Of Teach town are given in full and the material
interests with which the inhabitants are identified.
