Ridpath'S History of the World,
which is being introduced in Bismarck
at clubbing rates, by a well-known
book man, is a magnificent library of
universal history-a treasure of the
family book casa prize for the
scholars library. This worlds his
tory is recognized as an unquestioned
authority by such men as President
Mckinley, Senator Foraker, President
Warren, of Boston University; Presi-
dent Seelye, of Amherst; Bishop Vim
cent, General Lew Wallace, Rabbi
Hersch, Theodore L. Cuyler, Seth Low,
Dr.. Frank Strong, president of state
university of Oregon, and many others.
1t was left to the bright and pene-
trating intellect of an American to
compile a dictionary of the English
language which is the recognized au-
thority in every nation on earth, and
it is not strange that to the lot Of a
citizen of this country who is already
famous as a historian, has fallen the
sacred duty of writing a history of the
entire world. And, it is now an as
sured fact that Ridpath's History of
the World will be the recognized Ill
thority on the history of all age and
peoples on the globe for generations to
come. " .~r, s-.&1
It gives a panoramic and graphic de-
scription of every nation which has
passed in the great procession of the
ages. It deals with the birth, growth
and development and the decay or pres
ent greatness of all nations. 1t be-
gins with man in his lowest scale and
traces his rise through bruteism to
ism, to civilization. MIR. Ridpath, in
his sublime, intensely interesting and
vivid style, takes us an infant nation:
and handles it as though it were, in
swaddling clothes, speaks charitably
but firmly of it's youthful errors, APP
provingly of it's virtues, infinitely OF
it's glory and compassionately of its
decay and ruin. Step by step he
traces the course of the nations that
exist today and shows their relative
Importance and power and wherein
they differ. :
After treating of the profound, Dr..
Ridpath easily and naturally falls into
the romantic. He tells the romantic
stories of all the individual nations in
this great whirlpool of world-growth.
The stories Of vars and conflicts and
the effect they have wrought on our
present civilization are noted. Po-
litical intrigue and mercenary con-
quest are followed with the same I'M
erring judgment. -.
