There has long been a great and univer.
sally-felt want Of a 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, No., and Dayton, Ohio, who have
issued q handsome volume, entitled 1.-The
History of the World" by James d. Nc
Cabe, a weIl-known historical writer. This
work will, undoubtedly, take rank as a
Standard History. 1t is the most valuable
book that has been published in this coun-
try for many years. 1t contains a separate
and admirably-written history Of every ma
ton of ancient and modern times, and is
full of valuable information concerning
them, presented in popular style, and in a
manner that will enable the reader to refer
instantly to any subject upon which infor-
nation is desired. The book is a complete
treasury of history, and there is not a ques-
ton that can be asked concerning any his
torical subject, but an answer to it can be
found in this work. 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 reader
the causes which led to the prosperity and
decay of the great powers of the world. He
shows Us the various great men-the war
riors, statesmen, poets, sages, and orators
of ancient and modern times, and makes
| them familiar to the reader. There is not a
dry page in the book. 1t is as fascinating
as a romance, and at the same time one oil
the most valuable works of reference ever
published. We are constantly called upon
to discuss the great questions of history
| and the wars and quarrels of the nations Of
the old world require us to be continually
refreshing our historical knowledge. 81
many discoveries have recently been made
SO many of the old ideas and traditions have
been exploded and shown to be mere myth
and legends, that the subject of history maj
be said to be almost entirely new, and h
who was well informed twenty years agt
will find himself unable to discourse intel
lightly upon historical subjects now unles
he has kept up with the advance of histori
cal research.
The mechanical execution of the bool
fully s~ustains the high reputation of tn
pub ishers. 1t contains 1860 large double
column pages, and over $50 fine engravings
embracing battles and other histories
scenes; portraits of the great men of ar
cient and modern times, and views of tn
principal cities of the world. The engra,
ings in this book are genuine works Of al
and were made at a cost of $685. 00. Th
great number and high character of thss
engravings make this the most valuable al
publication of the century. A prominer
feature of the work is a full History Of II
late War betDeen Russia and Turkey.
This is the most complete and valuabl
History of the World ever published, an
agents who take hold of it will reap a rc
harvest. The price is SO low that every OIL
can afford to purchase a copy. 1t is so
by subscription only, and the publ,she
want agents, as will be seen by their adve
yertisement in another column.
