A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.

The Centennial History of tie United
States. from the discovery ofthe american
Continent to the close Of tie Fast Centu-
ry Of american Independence. BY James
ID. McCabe, author Of "a Manual Of
General History" The Great Republic" :"
etc, etc.
There has long been great and universal
ly-felt want of History of the United States
suitable for general use. This want Is now
being supplied by The National Publishing
Co., of st. Louis, who have issued handsome
volume. styled 1.-THE Centennial History Of
the United States" by James d. McCabc, a
wcll-known historical writer. This work
will, undoubtedly, take rank as the Standard
History OF the United States. 1t Is no dry
mass ofdetails.-no bombastiv effort to nnamc
the national pride, but Is clear, vivid and
brilliant narrative Of the events of our history,
from the discovery OF the American Continent
down TO the present time. 1t traces the evil
dcnces of that m, sterious race, the first occu-
pants of our country, and gives most inter-
esting account of the Indians Of North Amer
lea, from the time Of the coming of the white
men. The voyages of Columbus, the explor-
atIons of the different nations OF Europe and
the final occupation aud conquest OF the land
OF England, are told with graphic power.
Every step of our colonial history is traced
with patient fidelity, and the sources of those
noble. and we trust, cndearng institutions
which have made our country free and great,
are shown with remarkable clearness. The
causes of our great struggle for Independence
are told with logical force and ability un-
surpassed In any work of the day. Then fol-
lows a clear and succinct account of the for
nation of the Federal Constitution; the estab-
ishment OF the Union; the course of affairs
until the breaking out Of the Second War with
England; and full and comprehensive ac-
count of that War and its results. The events
of our career from the close of that contest to
the commencement of the Civil War. follow
In their order. The history OF the Civil War
is related with intense vigor. and with stiict
fidelity to truth. The author pleads the cause
of 10 party or section. lie states facts, points
out the lessons which they teach. and appeal
ing to neither passion nor political feeling,
trusts to the good sense his countrymen to
sustain his views. The book contains an Ap-
pendix. giving an accent of the approaching
Centennial Exhibition.
1t Is comprised in one large, handsome oc-
tayo volume of 925 pages. and contains 4l2
fine engravings on steel and wood. OF histori
cal personages and scenes. The price Is SO
low that all can afford to purchase copy, and
each subscriber is presented with snperb
lithographic engraving OF the Centennial Ex-
hibition Buildings and Grounds. Ii Is sold
by subscription only. aud the publishers wans
agents In every county.
