II. A History of the People of the FROM THE REVOLUTION TO THE CIVIL WAR. By JOHN BACH MCMASTER. To be completed in five volumes. Volume I. ready March 3d. Octavo, cloth, gilt top, $2.50. Mr. McMaster's history has been written in the belief that the history of a people leads in importance the records of wars and of governments, and the struggles of politicians. It opens with a most entertaining picture of the political, social, and industrial condition of the people after the peace with Great Britain; and the first volume ends at a period soon after the adoption of the Federal Constitution. It has been said that American history is uninteresting; if there was ever any truth in this idea, Mr. McMaster has dissipated it; for his narrative shows that, so far from being uninteresting, the records of our country, while less romantic than those of other lands, are really fascinating if rightly presented. The interest of Mr. McMaster's narrative depends upon the thoroughness with which illuminating details have been sought out, and the vividness with which they have been set forth. So fresh are many of the facts, and so effectively are they grouped, that many readers will feel that they for the first time realize how stimulating were the events and how noteworthy were the conditions of our early national history.

Gilder, correspondent of the New York Herald with the Rodgers Search Expedition; author of "Schwatka's Search." I vol., 8vo, with maps and illustrations, $4. Mr. Gilder's experience as an Arctic traveller, and his skill in the description of his journeys, have now given him a reputation as one of the highest authorities on polar expeditions. His new book is an account of the voyage of the Rodgers, her discoveries and destruction; with the thrilling personal narrative of his own solitary and perilous journey through the Siberian wastes.

RECOLLECTIONS OF ARTHUR PENRHYN STANLEY, late Dean of Westminster. By GEORGE GRANVILLE BRADLEY, D.D., Dean of Westminster, Honorary Fellow of University College, Oxford. I vol., 12mo, $1. These recollections, written down by his successor and life-long friend, and covering the whole course of Stanley's life, make up so fine and sympathetic a picture of the man, that even if a more ambitious biography appears later, these reminiscences will be preferred to it by many. The accounts of Stanley's life at Rugby and Oxford, and of his early manhood, have a special attraction. JUST PUBLISHED: III. NEWMAN SMYTH'S REPLY TO JOSEPH COOK. DORNER ON THE FUTURE STATE.

Of Dr. Field's last volume of travels it was said by a high authority, "I have never, within anything like the same space, seen so much said of Egypt, or so wisely or so well. Much as I have read about Egypt-many volumes, indeed— I have found some of these descriptions more graphic, more realistic, than I have ever met or expect to meet elsewhere. V. AN HONORABLE SURRENDER. BY MARY ADAMS. I vol., 12mo, $1. An Honorable Surrender is a love story of a very fresh and unconventional type. It presents some situations that have an unusual interest, from their originality and piquancy, as well as from the brightness and literary finish of the narrative, and the author exhibits a keenness of insight into character very unusual in a first novel.
