An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole 



** Tbis new series of historical and geographical works by the scholarly 

 editor of' The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents,'' promises to be 

 particularly valuable and of more than usual popular interest. All the 

 books are rare, some of them exceedingly so, no copy being found in the 

 largest collections on this side of the Atlantic, or in many abroad. They 

 are copiously explained and illustrated by introductions and notes, bio- 

 graphical sketches of the authors, bibliographical data, etc. The series 



should, of course, be in every public, collegiate, and insti- 

 tutional library, to say nothing of private collections of 



respectable rank. The works included naturally vary in literary 

 merit and attractiveness, but many of them will compare favorably 

 with the better class of modern books of travel, while some are as fas- 

 cinating as the best fiction." — The Critic.
