A NEW PICTORIAL 



HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. 



BY JOHN FROST. 



We hesitate not to say that this is the best Pictorial History of the 

 United States to be found in the wide world. 



This work is copiously illustrated with over GOO engravings from origi- 

 nal designs, containing over 1000 pages, printed on the first quality of 

 paper, with bold, clear type, and bound in leather binding, with spring 

 back and heavy sides, in the most durable manner. 



The book should be in the hands of every family in the United States, 

 especially of our adopted citizens, from the shores of the Pacific, on the 

 West, to that of the extreme Atlantic, on the East. No man or woman 

 who wishes to become acquainted with our institutions, — Character, 

 Rise, Progress, and Commerce of our adopted country, — will fail to 

 procure a copy of this work of intrinsic merit. 



Five hundred active men wanted to circulate this work through the 

 country.
