HISTORY 



OF THE 



ROMAN REPUBLIC. 



One handsome 12mo. volume. [Nearly ready] 



" M. Michelet, in his History of the Roman Republic, first introduces the reader 

 to the Ancient Ge->graphy of Italy ; then by giving an excellent piclu'e of the present 

 state of Rome and the surrounding country, full of grand ruins, he excites in iho 

 reader the desire to investigate tlie ancient history of this wonderful land. He next 

 imparts the results of the latest mestigatinns, entire, deeply studied and clearly 

 arranged, and saves the u i 'ducated reader the trouble of investigating the sources, 

 while he giveg to the more educated mind an impetus to study the literature from 

 which he gives very accurate quotations in his notes. He describes the peculiaritie3 

 an t the life of the Roman people in a mas'erly manner, and he fascinates every 

 reader, by the brilliant clearness and vivid freshness of his style, while -he sho.vs 

 himself a good historian, by the Justness and impartiality with which he relates and 

 philosophizes." 



THE LIFE 



OF 



MARTIN LUTHER, 



GATHERED FROM HIS OU N WRITINGS 



By M. Michelet: translated by G. H. Smith, F. G. S. 



One handsome volume, 12mo. Cloth 75 cts.. Paper cover 50 cts. 



This work is not an historical romance, founded on the life of Martin Luther, 

 nor is it a hi.'^iory of the establishment of Lutheranism. It is Bimply a biography, 

 composed of a series of tran-'lutions. Excepting that portion of it which has refer- 

 ence to his childhood, and which Luther himself has left undcscribed, the translator 

 has rarelv found occasion to make his own appearance on the scene. ***** 

 It is almost invariably Luther himself who speaks, almost invariably Luther related 

 by Luther. — Extract from M. MiclieleCs Preface. 



THE PEOPLE. 



TRANSLATED BY G. H. SMITH, F. G. S. 



One neat volume, iSmo. Cloth 62 cts., Paper cover 38 cts. 



" This hook is more than a book ; it is myself, therefore it belongs to you. * * 

 Receive thou his book of " The People," because it is you— because it is I. * * 

 I have made this b>.ok out of myself out of my life, and out of my he iri I have 

 derived it from my observation, from my relations of (riemlsbip and of neighborhood ; 

 have pic»^ed it up upon the rouis. Cliance lov.s to favor tlmse who follow out ono 

 continuous idea. Above all, I have found it in the recollections of mv youth. To 

 know the life of the people, their labor and their sufferings, I had but to interrogate 

 my memory. — Extract from Author's Preface.
