a Rem arkable History.

GU1zoT is the Aacaulay Of the his
tory of France. His narrative is full
of emotion like a quick stream his
characters rise before ue as in the flesh;
they are men and women, not historic
lay figures. 1t is as charming as any
romance. 1t is a work to read and re-
read. The new edition just published
is worthy Of the work. Thong h reduc-
ed in price from $4,000 to 5000 the
427 illustrations are all there, superb
in quality; the type is large; the bi"d-
ing is thoroughly excellent and taste
full. Every word of the publishers de
scription in the advertisement else
where is worth readng-the work
ought to be owned in every house. We
have made an arrangement with the
publisher by which we are able to offer
this work, GU1zoTs HISTORY OBJ
FRANCE, 8 vols large l2no., 427 fine
illustrations, as described in the pub
fishers advertisement elsewhere, regu-
lar price Sc 90, in combination with

Our arrangements with the publisher
enable us to make these exceedingly
liberal offers for SO days only-the
