many of our citizens.
We have received from tue publishers,
The B. f. johnson Publishlng.Co.. Rich
mond, Va q copy of the "Young Peoples
History of Virginia and Vlrginlans," by
Genl. Dabney HerndOn MaLry, and writ
ten in his beautiful and happy style.
This book is a most valuable acquisition
to the schools and general literat ure OF
Virginia, relating as it does IN simple
conscise style the true history of ouI
State from 1857 to 1896. It was written
for the purpose OF teaching Young Vlr'
gipians of 10 day to honor the men OF
their State and the South who fought fol
the right of self government IN lo6l, and
10 fully realize that they were inspired
by the same patriotic spirit which ami
mated the VirgInians of 1776.
It thoroughly exposes many unjust
criticisms made by Northern writers. anC
gives nothing but the simple truth in re
gard to the war and the causes that lee
TO it, as well as honor to whom honor II
due on either side.
After a thorough study of this bool
the young student will thoroughly ap-
preciate the true nobility of character OF
their forefatbers, and will. feel like fol
lowing their glorious example.
The book is handsomely bound. IS
fueIy illustrated. and is sample o.
the fine work done by the great Southern
publishing house of the b. F. johnson
