A Great Historical work.

The Pictorial History of the World,
embracing full and authentic accounts
of every nation Of ancient and modern
times, and including a History of the
rise and fall of the Greek and Roman
Empires. the growth of the nations of
modern Europe, the Middle Ages, the
Crusades, the Feudal System, the Re-
formation, the discovery and settle
ment of the New World, etc., etc., by
James d. McCabe.
There has long been great and
universally>felt want of history of
the world suitable for general use.
This want is now being supplied by
The National Publishing Co., of Phil>
adelphia, Chicago, st. Louis and Day
ton, who have issued a handsome vol
ume, entitled "The Pictorial History
of the World" by James D. McCabe,
a well-known historical writer. This
work will, undoubtedly, take rank as
Standard History. 1t contains a
separate and admirably written history
of every nation of ancient and modern
times, presented in popular style, and
in manner that will enable the read
er to refer instantly to any subject up
on which information is desired. The
author does not content himself with
a mere dry statement Of facts, but
sketches the life and manners of the
various nations of which he treats, in
life-like colors, and presents to the
readers the causes which led to the
prosperity and decay Of the great
powers of the world. He shows us
the various great men-the warriors,
statesmen, poets, sages and orators
of ancient and modern times; and
makes them familiar to the reader; he
explains the secret motives of their
actions, and points out the lessons
which their lives teach. A valuable
feature of the book is full history Of
the late war between Russia and
Turkey,
The mechanical execution of the
book deserves the highest praise. 1t
contains 1860 large double column
pages, printed in the clearest and
most beautiful style on paper of the
very best quality. The book is en-
bellished with over $50 fine engrav-
ings, embracing battles and other his
torical scenes; portraits of the great
men of ancient and modern times;
and views of the principal cities of the
world.
Agents will find that this book will
sell readily when all others fail, from
the fact that it is a work that the peo-
pie really want. The price is so low
that every one can afford to purchase
copy. Is sold by subscription only,
and the publishers want Agents in
every county.

The ST. Louis Evening Post, an In

ern Democratic statesmen: The South
ern Congressman get the better of their
opponents so invariably in every form
of debate or discussion, that it disposes
very effectually of the pretence that the
Southern Democrats are not able to
send proper representatives TO Con-
gress. Atfirst the ex-Confederates were
little fierce, and injured their cause
very much by assuming an attitude of
aggressive ferocity which was not JUS
tilted by the circumstances. But now
the ferocIty is all on the other side.
