WITH A MEMOIR BY PRESIDENT QUINCY. 



IN TWO LARGE OCTAVO VOLUMES, EXTRA CLOTH, 

 WITH A PORTRAIT. 



This work haying assumed the position of a standard history of this 

 country, the publishers have been induced to issue an edition in smaller size 

 and at a less cosi, thai its circulation maybe commensurate with its merits. 

 It is now considered as the most impartial and trustworthy history that has 

 yet appeared. 



A few copies of the edition in four volumes, on extra fine thick paper, 

 price eight dollars, may still be had by gentlemen desirous of procuring a 

 beautiful work for their libraries. 



" It is universally known to literary men as, in its oripnal form, one of the earliest histories of 

 this country, and certainly one of the best ever written by a foreigner. It has been constantly and 

 copiously used by every one who has, since its appearance, undertaken the history of this country. 

 In the course of the memoir prefixed to it, it is vindicated from the aspersions cast on it by Mr. 

 Bancroft, who, nevertheless, has derived from it a vast amount of the information and documentary 

 material of his own ambitious, able and extended work. It is issued in two volumes, and cannot 

 fail to ficd its way to every library of any pretensions. — A'ew York Courier and Eniparer.
