A HISTORY OF THE 

 AMERICAN PEOPLE 



In Five Volumes 



By WOODROW WILSON, Ph.D., Litt.D., LL.D. 



President of Princeton University. 



PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON has devoted the best years of his life to the prep- 

 l aration of his great work, "A History of the American People," from the earliest times 

 to the accession of President Theodore Roosevelt. The work, which is just completed, is 

 monumental in character and scope, represents the genius of the greatest historical writer 

 Df the present time, and is written in that delightfully flowing style which translates histor- 

 ical facts into the romance of a nation. It is printed from new type specially cast in 1902. 

 [n the matter of illustration, every field of human activity has been searched, and hundreds 

 upon hundreds of new portraits, prints, maps (in colors), plans, and pictures make the pic- 

 torial features alone tell their wonderful story of the finding of the continent and the birth 

 and growth of what is the United States of America. There is a photogravure frontispiece 

 to each volume, and portraits in India tint and black. It is a curious fact that there was 

 not a single complete narrative history of the United States in existence until now. Dr. Wood- 

 row Wilson's is the first. It is bound in dark-blue vellum cloth, leather-stamped, lettered with 

 gold, untrimmed edges, gilt tops, etc. The edition is in five volumes, and the price is $25.00.
