The people of Berkeley, Jefferson,
Frederick and Clarke, can feel assured
that the History of tie Shenandoah
Valley, to be published by A. Warn
er & Co., whom Messers. Jones and
Norris are representing, will be val
liable and creditable work, from the
fact that their Histories have given
the highest satisfaction in other places,
and are endorsed by some of the lead
ing city papers. The Pittsburg Press
devotes half a column to reviewing
the History of Allegheny Co., Pa,
Of which such well known writers as
Rev. A. A. Landing and Hon. Rus
sell Erret are the principal authors.
The Press says the work covers the
county from its earliest settlement
recommends the artistic merits of the
engravings and the convenience of a
complete index; praises the book for
its typographical appearance and be-
ing free from errors, and declares the
history to be "by all odds more pre-
tentious and deserving of praise than
any other work yet published"
