My Dear Strive have had In our IL
brary for the last four or five years q
set of StoddHrd's Lectures, and 1 have
read anumbero of them, and unhesitat-
ttngly recommend them to the reading
public :
They are the best and most interest
ing books of the kind 1 have ever read
Or seen, and, TO my mind, one OF their
attractive features Is their correctness
and7reliabiltty. Ichad an opportunity
astsummer of testing their accuracy ON.
a European trip in which / visited q,
number of European cities and countries
described by Mr., StOddard, after having
read the, Lectures. and in every single
instance I found his statements and de-
scrfptions absolutely truthful and COR
rect. / commend them especially to
any person who contemplates a tour of
Europe or of any.of the countries de-
fscribed; and to those who are denied
che advantages of travel they are sim
ply invaluable as q substitute for such
advantages.
Mrs. Shuford is better qualified to
speak of the merits of the books than /
Lam, fer the reason that she has read
Ethem nor extensively and intently
than I have done. thinks she has read
them all, and is sorry that there are no
more cities and countries for her to ex-
pl6Pe through the mediumfof Mr.. Stod-
dard. Very truly oonrs,

Ihavs had "Stoddard's Lectures" for
several years, and they have been q
soGr5e ~ofpleasnre and profit TO my fam
NY and myself, and would not be depriy-
led ofthetnsfor anFthibg. Ny boy, FOUR
teea ysarsof age, reads them and fnds
they help him-in his historical studies.
Stoddard seems to intervene science
and facts into a delightful romance.

dStoddard's Lecturer need no en-
dorssmeut, and I can only express my
appreciation of them. They have Civ
en8Mr. Sexton and myself untold pleas
ure, bringing to mind many happy days
spent in foreign lands, and telling in
an interesting manner 70 much that es-
capes the average traveller.
Without hesitation, Tshould call the
EectHres.n not q luxury, but 3 necessity.

whom I did not see my way clearl to do

sacrifice in the transaction. They are
the most richly illustrated books I have
ever seen. Stoddard's descriptive pow
or manifests q rare and antique genius.
hiGdiction is faultless, and his style en-
tsrtAins Ikea good story. He gives
one the kind of information they can
not get from Biographies, histories and
encyciopaediks, and they can only be
obtained by travel. I consider them q
valuable possession.
