ROLLIN'S ANCIENT HISTORY. 



The Ancient History of the Carthagenians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and 

 Persians, Grecians and Macedonians, including a History of the Arts and Sciences 

 of the Ancients, with a Life of the Author. 2 vols., royal 8vo. Sheep, spring back, 

 marble edge. 



One of the most complete and impartial works ever published. It takes us back 

 to early days, and makes us live and think with the men of by-gone centuries. It 

 spreads out to us in a pleasant and interesting style, not only the events which char- 

 acterized the early ages, but the inner world of thought and feeling, as it swayed 

 the leading minds of the times. No library is complete without Rollin's Ancient 

 History. 



From the Western Recorder. 

 A new edition of Rollin's Ancient History has just been issued by Applegate & 

 Co. The value and importance of this work are universally acknowledged. Every 

 private library is deficient without it ; and it is now furnished at so cheap a rate, that 

 every family should have it. It should be placed in the hands of all our youth, as 

 infinitely more instructive and useful than the thousand and one trashy publications 

 with which the country is deluged, and which are so apt to vitiate the taste, and ruin 

 the minds of young readers. One more word in behalf of this new edition of Rol- 

 lin : It may not be generally known, that in previous English editions a large and 

 interesting portion of the work has been suppressed. The deficiencies are here sup- 

 plied and restored from the French editions, giving the copy of Messrs. Applegate & 

 Co. a superiority over previous English editions. 



From the Springfield Republic. 



A superb edition of this indispensable text and reference book is published by 

 Messrs. Applegate & Co. The work in this form has been for some years before the 

 public, and is the best and most complete edition published. The .work is comprised 

 in two volumes of about 600 pages each, containing the prefaces of Rollin and the 

 ^' History of the Arts and Sciences of the Ancients,'' which have been omitted in 

 most American editions. 



Frma the Western Christian Advocate. 



The work is too well known, and has too long been a favorite to require any com- 

 mendation from us. Though in some matters more recent investigations have led to 

 conclusions different from those of the Author, yet his general accuracy is unques- 

 tionable 



From the Methodist Protestant, Baltiinore. 



This work is too well known as standard — as necessary to the completion of every 

 gentleman's library— that any extended notice of it would be folly on our part. We 

 have named it for the purpose of calling the attention of our readers to the beautiful 

 edition issued by the enterprising house of Messrs. Applegate & Co. Those who 

 have seen their edition of Dick's Works, Plutarch's Lives, Spectator, &c., &c., may 

 form a correct idea of the style. We call it a beautiful library edition. The paper 

 is good, the type clear, the binding substantial, and the whole getting up just such 

 as becomes standard works of this class.
