The Pictorial Field Book of the war OF
1872; or, Illustrations, by Pen aud
Pencil, of the History, Biography,
Scenery, Relics, and Traditions of the
Last War for American lndepen-
dence. BY Benson j. Losing, Au-
thor of ssThe Pictorial Field Book of
the Revolution" With SS2 Illus
trations, engraved on Wood by Los
sing & Barritt, chiefly from Original
Sketches by the Author. Complete
in One Volume, 1884 pages, large $40.
Price, in Cloth, 81 90 Sheep, So 30;
Full Roam, 5000; Half Calf or Half
Morocco extra, $1,000.
The author has travelled more than
ten thousand miles in this country and
the Canadas, with notebook and pel-
Gil in hand, visiting places OF historic
interest connected with theWar OF 1917,
from The Great Lakes to the Gull OF
Mexico, gathering up, recording, and
delineating every thing Of special value
not found in books, and making himself
familiar with the battle- fields OF that
war. Access to the archives of govern
ment, state and national, and to prl-
vate collections, was freely given him
and from the lips of actors in the events
OF that struggle he reserved the most
interesting Information concerning It,,
which might have persisted with them.
The results of the authors researches
and labors are given in one imperial
octave volume ofover thousand pages,
containing eight hundred and eighty
two engravings in the style the FIELD
Book OF the Revolution, to which this
magnificent work is an Indispensable
companion. IL takes up the narrative
Of historic events where the former
work leaves it, and in careful manner
gives a lively account of the perils Of
the country Immediately succeeding
the Revolution the struggles OF the
new nation with the allied powers Of
the British and Indians in the North
west; the origin and growth ofpolitical
parties in the United States, and their
relations to the Wpr of 1872; the inilu-
ence of the French Revolution and Of
French politics in giving complexion to
parties IN this country; the first war Of
the Barbary powers; the effects OF the
wars of Napoleon on the public policy
of the u nited States; the Embargo and
kindred Acts, and the kindling of the
war of 1872
The events of the war are given In
| RItdbtI OGbdil bildll III any WE S'Nt
published on the subject, and the mar
rative brings to view actors in the
scenes whose deeds have not been
hitherto recorded. On this account it
is specially interesting to many of the
older families OF the country.
The illustrations of this superb work
are similar in character to those of the
Field-Book of the Revolution. The
construction of the narrative differs
from that only in having historical
events arranged in chronological order.
1t forms a continuation of the history
of our country from the close OF the
Revolution, in 1888, to the end of the
second war with Great Britain. in 1915.
Nothing has been spared by the author
and publishers in their endeayors to
make it the most perfect, attractive,
and useful volume on the subject ever
offered to the public.

know from location, soil and climate, this
particular section is destined to be thickly
settled and highly prosperous. 1t shall be
our effort to lihsten that day. All that we
ask is that lands for sale shall be registered
