The set of John L. Stoddard's
Lectures bought through you
came to hand in due time and in
good condition. Am well pleased
with the work so far. Mr.. StOd-
dard's powers of description are
exhibited to good advantage. His
skill in arranging his matter so
that it easily yields to the mind
in forming a perspective or pic
ture of what the author has in
mind himself, is a marked feature
of the work. The illustrations are
abundant and of the highest
grade, both as to selection and re-
production. The binding is ele-
CANT and substantial. Both as to
matter and mechanical finish I am
we'll pleased and think I have a
bargain. Sincerely.
