NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Three volumes of this most popular his
tory have been placed before the public
and the fourth is now in course of prepare
ton. 1t is a remarkable work short"
only when compared with the more preten-
tious histories compiled by more ponderous
writers. it is ample in its fuIlness of treat
ment on all the important subjects, and
every phase that to the general reader
would have semblance of interest. In this

TONS worthy in every respect to be asso-

fair publication that is fully entitled to be
called a souvenir of the greatest of EXPOSE
