There has long been great and univer-
sally felt want CT History OF the World
suitable for general use. This want is now
being supplied by the National Publishing
Co., of PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Chicago, Ill, st.
Louis, Mo, and Dayton, Ohio, who have is
sued handsome volume entitled "The Pic
torial History of the World, by James d.
McCabe, a well-knOwn historical writer.
This work will, undoubtedly, take rank as
/ Standard History. It is the most valuable
! book that has been published IN this country
for many years. 1t contains separate and
admirably written history of every nation
of ancient and modern times, and is full of
valuable information concerning them, pres
ented in popular style, and in 8 manner that
/ will enable the reader to refer instantly to
any subject upon which information Is de-
| sired The book Is a complete treasury of
history, and there is not question that can
be ask ed co concerning any historical subject,
! but an answer to II can be found in this
work. The author does not content himself
/ with 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 reader the causes which
led to the prosperity and decay Of the great
powers of the world. He shows US the va
/ Eious great men--the warriors, statesmen,
| poets, ssges and orators of ancient and
I modern times, and makes them familiar to
/ the reader. There is not dry page in the
book. 1t is as fascinating as a romance, and
at the same time one of the most valuable
/ works of reference ever published. I'VE are
/ constantly called upon to discuss the great
I questions CT history, and the wars and quar-
! rels OF the nations of the old world require
us 10 be continually refreshing our historical
! knowledge. So many discoveries have re-
/ Gently been made, so many of the old ideas
and traditions have been exploded and
shown to be mere myths and legends, that
the subject of history may be said to be al
most entirely new, and he who was well in
formed twenty years ago VIII ind himself
unable TO discourse inteligibly upon his
tOrical subjects now unless he has kept M
! with the advance of historical research.
The mechanical execution OF the book
| fully sustains the high reputation Of the puns
fishers. 1t contains 1860 large double.cOl
Imn pages, and over $50 fine engravings
/ embracing battles and other historical
scenes portraits Of the great men of anr
cient and modern times, and views Of the
principal cities of the world. The engraving,
in this book are genuine works of art and
I were made at a cost of over S25 COG The
great number and high character of these
engravings make this the most valuable ar
publication Of the century. A prominen
feature of the work is a full History of tn,
late War between Russia and Turkey.
This is the most complete and valuable
History OF the World ever published, anC
