the albums very much. The pictures
are exceedingly artistic, and some OF the
cameragraphH are equal to the fnest
landscape photographs produced by the
cele brties of the camera in America and
Europe. The descriptive matter is we'll
written and entertaining. Between the
engravings and the narrative, a man
who has not had the opportunities OF
seeing with his own eyes all the glorious
points in this great country stands an
excellent chance to become acquainted
with them by the next beat method
faithful pictures OF the scenes and cor
rect descriptions. | cannot understand
how the HERALD ia able to give away,
for it ia really giving away, such mag
nifcent albums OF home scenery to ite
readers. 1t is piece OF commendable
enterprise on the part Of my favorite
paper, which rebounds 20 its credit, and
it's gift TO its subscribers is on a par with
it's usual generosity in all matters.
Mai. Geo. II. Bonebrake, president Of
the Los Angeles National bank
Glimpses OF America is the finest pic
torial and descriptive album of the
scenic mArvels OF our country, without
any doubt, of all similar works that it
has been my good fortune TO peruse. II
ia one OF the greatest factors in liberal
education. Every body is not fortunate
enough to be able to see all the Inarvels
OF scenery in this country, but with
dlimpses Of America one comes very
near to it. Some of the pictures in
Glimpses OF America are vertable works
OF art. 1t ia only after seeing a few
mum bers OF the HERALD's premium that
an untraveled person begins to have
real idea OF the greatness OF this grand
country. am very much interested in
the work and l have no doubt that every
one who gets a sight OF one of the copies
OF the GiimpFes will be eager to acquire
the whole collection.
+. A. Preuss, ex-postmaster of Los
Angeles-I got Gimpses of America
through the HERALD and like the series
very much. 1t is a work which cannot
be mentioned without praise. 1t is the
next thing to travelling ones self to
have such beautiful pictures and faith
full descriptions handed to you. The
csmersgraphs are magnificent. The one
that saw lately of He'll Gate, Ausable
chasm, is grand specimen. The book
will be fine work OF art to have in the
library, but it must not be forgotten
that for educational purposes it will 20
farther than many text work on geog-
raphy. The pictures OF the Glimpses OF
America will be craven on the mind OF
many pupils when they have forgotten
everything acquired parrot fashion about
political and typographical points
learned at school.

hich are both instructive and. iEter-
esting. The views in this work are very
fine and they are also very true. By
looking at the album | can recall some
OF ths places that have myself visited
The value of the HERALD's premium
work is without any doubt great. Aside
from the literary merits and this wealth
OF splendid pictures which the book con-
tains We must not lose eight of the value
OF Glimpses of America as An educator.
1t will go Jar to make most people fam
liar with the scenic wonders OF the
west which they can never expect to
see, except in such an excellent publica-
ton as the one which the HERALD ie
now presenting to it's subscribers.
William L. Williams, attorney at law
The HERALD's premium to its readsEs jis
in which it is placed before the people
makes it possible for the slimmest purse
to obtain it. Glimpses OF America pic
torially as we'll as viewed as q literary
production. is a beautiful production.
When complete it cannot fail, when
bound, 70 constitute q splendid acauisi-
ton in the parlor or on the library table.
Its value as a teacher of the great and
glorious scenic wonderland should not
be underrsted. In connection with the
fine views and landscape it contains,
anything read in Glimpses of America
is bound to preserve itself in the mind.
Many travellers may have personally
sean many OF the views in the book, but
they cannot have seen them all, and it
is question which of them they will
enjoy most-thoae that are familiar or
those which are new. With fine pict-
ures, good literature, beautiful type and
supertine paper, Glimpses of America
combine all the qualities which are
needed to make the HERALD's gift very
valuable one.
William G. Furrey, Wholesale dealer
in stoves, hardware, etc.-I wish l had
the time to tell you all the good think
OF Glimpses OF America, but | am in a
great hurry. Yet | will say that have
seen and admired the HERALD's pre-
MUM to it's readers, and that think it
very valuable and precious work of
art, which beats perfunctory school
books on our country's geography al! to
pieces. What magnificent views we
have in America And who would
know of one-tenth OF them were it not
for such meritorious works as Glimpses
os America? The subscribers OF the
HERALD have much to thank that excel
lent paper for, in having made it posi-
BILE for them to become familarized with
all the beauties OF landscape and the
wonders of scenery which otherwise
must remain a dead letter to majority
of them. am glad that have had the
opportunity to say that much OF the
pictorial and descriptive gem which the
HERALD distributes 80 literally among
its reRders.
