thousand copies, often reaching and
sometimes exceeding two hundred
and twenty-five thousand. Chief
among its many attractions for the

been in active preparations for six
teen years. 1t is history of our
own country in its most critical time,
as set fourth in
THE LIFE OF LINCOLN,
BY HIS CONFIDENTIAL SECRETARIES,
JOHN G. NICoLAY, AND COLONEL
| JOHN HAY.
This great work, begun with the
sanction of President Lincoln, and
continued under the authority OF his
son, Hon. Robert L. Lincoln, is the.
only full and authoritative record of
the life of Abraham Lincoln. Its
authors were friends of Lincoln be-
fore his presidency; they were most
intimately associated with him as
private secretaries throughout his
term of office, and to them we're
transferred upon Lincoln's death all
his private papers. Here will be
told the inside history of the civil
war and of President Lincoln's ad-
ministration, important details of
which have hithereto renamed unre-
vealed, that they might first appear
in this authentic history. By reason
of the publication of this work,
THE WAR SERIES,
which has been followed with un-
Tagging interest by great audience,
will occupy less space during the
coming year. Gettysburg will be
described by Gen. Hunt (Chief of
the Union Artillery, Gen. Long
