THE BEST HISTORY OF ENGLAND
Since the publication of Macaulay's
famous work, no history of England
has more promptly and deservedly won
the very highest reputation than Green's
"History ofthe English People" Rank
Ing fairly with Macaulay in the bril-.
liancy aud interest of its style, and
superior to It in its accurate delineation
Of events, 1t covers the entire field OF
English history, from the earliest to
recent times, (and giving the history OF
the people rather than Of the conflicts
Of the Kings, only,) while Macaulay's
history 10 limited to q very brief period.
Green was first published in this coun-
try by the Harpers, In four octave VOL
umes, for $40, but The Useful Knowl-
edge Publishing Co., New York, are
just completing a very handsome edi-
ton In one volume octave, at prices
81 for halt Russia binding, and another
edition In five charming and handy
"Elzevir" volumes for $3.50 to $2.35
per set. 1t ought promptly to find a
place in every home library, as, upon
the whole, the best as we'll as the cheap

booksellers and club agents, to whom
very unusual terms and facilities are
given.

We have received from the publishers
Enrich Bros, Eighth avenue, NewYork,
the summer number of their "Fashion

esting matter. Aside from the cuts
illustrating the latest styles of ladies'
and children's costumes, the literary
