HISTORICAL WORKS 



ILLUSTRATED EDITIONS 



The American Revolution 



Noble volumes, containing 22 Photogravures of 

 portraits and paintings, 15 color maps and 

 plates, and 280 text cuts and maps. 2 vol- 

 umes, 8vo, $8.00 ; half calf, gilt, or half polished 

 morocco, $12.50. 



" To combine profound knowledge of his subject with the 

 best narrative style in the degree here found is given to few 

 writers. The author has a wonderful faculty of selecting the 

 critical and significant events, of ignoring confusing details, of 

 welding his matetial into a simple and consistent account, and 

 of illuminating the whole with sound theories of historical phi- 

 losophy. . . . Great care and much labor have evidently been 

 expended in finding pictures, maps, and diagrams which illus- 

 trate in the true sense of the word. In portraits and auto- 

 graphs the two substantial volumes are especially rich. As a 

 teacher of sound patriotism, the work should be in the hands 

 of all young readers. As the most scholarly and at the same 

 time most readable account of the birth of our nation, it should 

 be in every library." — The Outlook (New York). 



The Critical Period of Amer= 

 ican History 



With about 170 Illustrations, comprising portraits, 

 maps, facsimiles, contemporary views, prints, 

 and other historical materials. Svo, % 4.00 ; 

 half calf, gilt top, or half polished morocco, 



$6.25. 



" Perfect in everything that means careful bookmaking, the 

 edition is also rendered fairly beautiful by the abundance and 

 high quality of the illustrations. These ate reproduced in pho- 

 togravure or half tone from portraits, paintings, views, maps, 

 anil other appropriate originals; and since much of the material 

 is taken from contemporary sources, the panorama resulting is 

 not only artistic, but wears a convincing air of reality. Edi- 

 tions like this prove that pictorial art is simply invaluable to 

 the historian." — New York Tribune.
