The set of John L. Stoddard s
Lectures bought through you
came to hand in due time and in
good condition. Am well pleased

exhibited to good advantage. His
skill in arranging his matter so
that it easily yields to the mind
in forming a perspective or pic

mind himself, is 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 [ am
well pleased and think / have a
bargain. Sincerely,
D. A. DENTON.

TO Whom 1t May Concern:
It has recently been my pleas
ure to purchase a set Of Stod-
dard's Lectures, and there IS
nothing in my library from which
1 have derived more genuine
pleasure and entertainment than
from said lectures. Taking into
consideration the worldwide rep
utation of Mr.. Stoddard as lee
trrrer and his most vivid manner
of description, there is nothing at
the present time that will afford
the reader more delight and en-
tertainment than the perusal OF
the lectures which he has deliver
ed in all the principal cities of
our country. A set of Mr.. Stod-
dard's Lectures will be a source
of delight to the household for an
entire generation. Very respect
fully, j. w. KAUFMAN,

To the Concerned:
Some time ago I purchased
Stoddard's Lectures, and have
given up many hours to a perusal
of them. There is a fascination
about these books that rarely at
taches to works of the sort. One
gets from them the scent of pow
err. The illustrations are superb,
the text devoid of commonplace
recital. Even children find the
lectures a delight, They should
not be denied the profit and uplift
these provide. Respectfully,
M. E. HESS,
Supt. Sistersville Schools.

To All Interested:


After examining the Stoddard
Lectures carefully | have con-
cluded the next best thing to see
inc the scenes and countries de-
scribed is to read these lectures.
The book on California is a gem.
The graphical description and
clear cut illustrations making you
forget for the time being that
you are not in this Eden Of the
West. The other books are
equally interesting and helpful.
Yours very respectfully,

he might be able to withstand
the shock Of the operation and
intimately recover. But during
the afternoon, that spark ebbed
away and surrounded by the
members Of his family, Minot's
