THE IVORY KING. 
A POPULAR HISTORY OF THE ELEPHANT AND ITS ALLIES, 
By CHARLES F. HOLDER. 
Square 8vo, with twenty-four full-page Illustrations, $2.00. 
The wonderfully interesting array of facts which Mr. Holder brought together in his Mar- 
vets of A?iimal Life, was the fruit very largely of his personal observations. It forms one of 
the most stimulating and delightful contributions to the class of Natural History books for the 
young that has ever been made, .and was a fitting forerunner to The Ivory King, which is devoted 
entirely to the Elephant, and has even a more vivid fascination than the first named volume. 
The summary of its contents includes the Natural History of the Elephant, its habits and ways 
and its intelligence, the Mammoth Three and Four Tusked Elephants, Hunting and Capturing 
Wild Elephants, the Elephant in Captivity, Rogue Elephants, the White Elephant, Trained 
Elephants, Show Elephants, Ivory, War Elephants, etc., etc. The numerous illustrations are 
especially excellent, being drawn from a great variety of sources. 
It would be hard to name a book which would be a more welcome and valued addition to the 
library of the average boy or girl just beginning to cultivate a love of reading and an interest in 
the world around them.

The author of this book was for four years connected with the legislative branch of our Gov¬ 
ernment, in the capacity of a Senatorial page. Although the book is addressed to the younger 
generation, there are not a few of their elders who will find much information in it that they 
may be glad to gain, and both young and old cannot but be delighted with Mr.. Alton’s reminis¬ 
cences of one of the most exciting periods of our history, that immediately following the civil war.

FROM THE PREF .A. C E. 
This little book is intended to meet, so far as it may, the want of brief, compact, and handy 
manuals of the beginnings of our country. 
It aims to occupy a place between the larger and the lesser histories,—to condense or elimi¬ 
nate from the exhaustive narrative as to give it greater vitality, or so extend and elucidate what 
the school history too often leaves obscure for want of space as to supply the deficiency. So, 
when teachers have a particular topic before them it is intended that a chapter on the same sub* 
ject be read, to fill out the bare outlines of the common school text-book.
