STR0NG'S HISTORY.

The History of Wisconsin Terri
tory, by Moses NJ. Strong, A. NJ, is
published, and a perusal of its pages
will convince anyone Of the great
value Of the work. tits history in
the true meaning of the term. The
distinguished compiler has given a
complete record of the public events
which transpired in Wisconsin dur
ing the territorial period from 1886
to 1848, and has resisted the tempta-
ton to fill the pages of the work
with biographical mention or anec-
dotes of the men who took part in
those events. And this is what
makes the work truly valuable. Ev-
cry page shows the object and aim of
the compiler to be to give a truthful
account of territorial and pre-terri-
torial events in Wisconsin which
shaped the political destiny of the
the State, and in which all citizens
have a common interest. Mr.. Strong
modestly disclaims all pretensions
to originality in the work of writing
the history, and-as stated in his
preface-claims credit only " for the
order OF the compilation, and OF
putting the words, deeds and writ
ings of others relating to territorial
and ante-territorial times into such
convenient form that they may be
read without resort to the numer-
Gus sources of information from
which they may have been derived"
But the touches of master hand
have brought order out of chaos.
From many sources of information
a continuous and complete story Is
formed, which is marked Throughout
by the ability of the narrator. No
other man could have written SO
good a history Of Wisconsin terri
tory. Having been thoroughly
identified with the men and the
events that made that history it was
most fitting that Mr.. Strong should
write it. For the ast ten or twelve
years he has dev I'd himself-when
not engaged in the duties of his
profession the accomplishment
of this work, and while it must be
source of great qualification to him
to know that the book has net with
a most favorable reception, and that
it will beyond q doubt command a
ready sale, we believe that those who
have been afforded the privilege of
enjoying the fruit of his painstaking
labors are The ones to be congratu-
lated.
The book contains G37 pages,
and is printed on good paper
and in clear type. In addition to
the 1000 copies printed by the state
for public distribution, small ed
ition has been printed for Mr.. Strong,
and copies can be obtained from
him at the prices and in the mar
ner stated elsewhere in this paper.
