Fairly ranking with Macaulay's great
work in the absorbing Interest of its mar
rative, 1t cycc!s in It's adaptation to popu-
lar needs, In that 1t covers the entire Pc
Rod of English history, from the earliest
to modern times, instead Of brief por-
ton Us does Macaulay. 1t richly deserves
place In the homes Of the masses, and
we are glad to note that it is now placed
within their reach, being reduced in price
from the $1,000 for the four volume edi-
ton Of tho Harpers to as low as so cents
for one edition just being issued by The

In five volumes Elzevir edition, Utility

cove no man nything-buy and sell for
cash. Gold dollars ask no favors"-and
Mr.. Alden thinks it Is there fore free from
the danger of wrecking by competing mil

master, with trembling hands, laid the

been caught stealing sheep, SO great
was their shame for making such q
fuss about nothing. -
