UNITED STATES

IN THE
UNITED STATES
Messrs Harpers & Brothers have commenc-
ed the issue in Numbers of a complete History
Of the Great Rebellion in the United States.
The work has been for many months in course
of preparation, by a writer every way qualified
for the task.
The Introduction contains clear and sue
cinct account of the formation of the Confed-
eracy of the States the formation and adop-
ton of the Constitution of the United States,
and the establishment of the National Govern
ment, the origin, developement and progress
of the doctrines of Notification and Secession,
and the various phases which they assumed
until their final elimination in the Great Re-
bellion.
The History comprises a full account, drawn
from the most authentic sources, of all the
Events of the War the intrigues of the South
ern leaders at home and abroad the gradual
detection of one section; the great Uprising
of the People for the maintenance OF the Ma
tional Life and Existence the rapid creation
of an immense Army and Navy; and the Bat
ties by Land and Sea.
The Illustrations comprise Portraits o. all
those who have borne prominent part IN the
struggle; Maps of the different localities /;
Plans of the leading actions Views of every
scene of interest, and of the most important
Battles. These illustrations are mostly from
drawings taken on the spot by artists deputed
for that purpose to accompany every division
of our Army and Navy.
Every facility at the command of the Pub
fishers has been employed in the preparation
and execution of this work and they conf
IDENTITY believe it will form the most trustwor-
thy and valuable history which can be pre-
pared of the Great Struggle for the American
Union.

will be issued in Numbers, consisting of "a
pages of the size of Harpers Weekly, printed
from Gear type, upon fine paper, and will

The price of each number, which contains
matter equivalent to an ordinary volume, will
be twenty-five Cents.
