THE NEW ILLUSTRATED HISTORY
OF WISCONSIN.

From the State Journal, April 9TH.
This work, now In process of publca-
| ton, will be ready for subscribers about
| July next. It is complete in one large
octave volume of 736 pages, and $50
fine, full page illustrations. It embraces
a full, authenic, interesting history Of
Wisconsin from its first exploration by
the French down to 1875, with sketch
! of each county in the State. It is print
ed on beautiful, heavy, calandered white
paper, and bound in excellent style.
Besides presenting a complete history
| of the State and Territory, and an ac-
count of the administration of each of
the Governors from Dodge to Taylor, it
gives iife-like and common sense sketch
es of all the distinguished men and wo-
men of the State of the past and present.
The author is now engaged on this part
of the work and wishes it understood by
all the people of this State that biograph-
les in the History of Wisconsin, cost the
parties represented nothing whatever.
He. is particularly DESTROYS of having
sketches in his work of all the old pion
GERS of the State, whether living or de-
ceased, and he appeals to them Or their
friends to send him the data from which
he may be able to- write short biograph-
ical sketches. Some persons may OBJ
ject to furnishing the data for their own
sketches. but when it is remembered
without price," the objection is removed.
Either send in the data for your sketch,
or, if this is not agreeable to your tastes
or sense of proprlety, ask some friend
acquainted with your history, to do it.
Here is chance for persons, whose dis
tinguished friends Or relatives have fin
ished their work and gone to their re-
wards, to write short biographies of
them and have them inserted In The
New History of Wisconsin, free of cost.
Will not at least one hundred persons
who have friends or relatives who are
not now living, who were distinguished
In their day for services rendered their
town or the State, avail themselves OF
this opportunity? Do not hesitate be-
polished biography. Write a simple,
plain, chronological narrative of the
life, just as you would tell the story to q
friend, and send it to the author, and he
will re-write it sEi put it in proper
shape Besides this invitation to make

their own history, the author has writ
