Norman Hapgood's _biographies_

Illustrated with portraits, fac similes, etc.

Abraham Lincoln--The Man of the People

_Library edition, half leather, $2.00_

"A Life of Lincoln that has never been surpassed in
vividness, compactness and lifelike reality,"--_Chicago
Tribune_.

"Perhaps the best short biography that has yet
appeared."--_Review of Reviews_.

"Its depth, its clearness, its comprehensiveness, seem to me
to mark the author as a genuine critic of the broader and
the higher school."--_Justin McCarthy_.

George Washington

_Half leather, $1.75 net; by mail, $1.90_

"Mr. Hapgood may have done more brilliant or more
entertaining work in other fields but we doubt if any of his
previous work will take its place in permanent literature so
certainly as this study of Washington."--_Daily Eagle_.

"Mr. Norman Hapgood's 'George Washington' is characterized
by an unusual amount of judicious quotation, and also by
many pages of graphic narrative and description. It has not
been customary heretofore, in brief biographies of eminent
men, to put the reader so closely in touch with the sources
of history. In this case, however, the method adopted by Mr.
Hapgood has not only greatly enhanced the historical value
of his work, but has at the same time added to its intrinsic
interest."--_Review of Reviews_.

THE MACMILLAN COMPANY

PUBLISHERS, 64-66 Fifth Avenue, NEW YORK

Mr. Owen Wister's _sketch of_

The Seven Ages of Washington

_Boards, leather back in box cover, $2.00 net; by mail, $2.11_
_With nine illustrations in photogravure_

"A bright, enjoyable book, brimfull of individuality,
containing one of the truest sketches of Washington ever
written,"--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.

"The essence of the whole book is character, and it is as a
study of character that it possesses unique value.... It
would be a good thing for high school and college students
if this study of Washington were made a required text-book
in the course of American history. Certainly the young
Americans of our day would get from it a far more correct
idea of Washington's life, character and influence than from
any of the standard biographies or histories."--_San
Francisco Chronicle_.

"The value of the book consists largely in its placing of
Washington in the right perspective. Mr. Wister's portrait
of him is all of a piece.

"The background, like the portrait, is handled with perfect
discretion. The reader who is searching for an authoritative
biography of Washington, brief, and made humanly interesting
from the first page to the last, will find it here."--From a
column review of the book in _The New York Tribune_, Nov.
23, 1907.

"Mr. Wister has succeeded in revealing a new Washington--a
Washington who becomes a wholly lovable man without losing
any of his dignity."--_Boston Herald_.

"In Mr. Wister's hands the Father of his Country is no
frozen god. He steps out of the block of ice into which, as
the author so well indicates, he was put for safekeeping
after death. The book emphasizes the man side of
Washington's character. The hero is in the background, and
the result is a warm and very convincing picture which it is
good to have."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.

Theodore Roosevelt

The Boy and the Man

By JAMES MORGAN

_Cloth, illustrated, gilt tops, $1.50_

"It does not pretend to be an analysis of the individual,
and it was not written with the intention of advocating or
criticising his political policies. It was meant to be a
simple, straightforward, yet complete biography of the most
interesting personality of our day. Its aim is to present a
life of action by portraying the varied dramatic scenes in
the career of a man who still has the enthusiasm of a boy,
and whose energy and faith have illustrated before the world
the spirit of Young America."--_From the Author's Foreword_.

"The book can go into home or school, north or south,
without the possibility of offence.... It is especially
tonic for high school youth and college young men. I doubt
if any book has been written that will do as much for
students as will this story of a real life.... Buy it, read
it, and tell others to read it."--_Journal of Education_.

"In point of style the work is a masterpiece of vivid,
forceful, sinewy, Anglo-Saxon. The story never halts, one is
never irritated by floridity and gush."--_Boston Traveler_.

"Whether or not a reader believes in Mr. Roosevelt's
policies, we doubt if he can fail, after reading Mr.
Morgan's book, to be a better American."--_Sacred Heart
Review_.

"It is a book which boys will delight to read, and which
they cannot read without feeling the potent charm of what is
wholesomest, manliest, worthiest, in man or boy."--_Chicago
Tribune_.

"The book is as readable as a novel and the story it tells
is packed with inspiration for American boys."--_Hamilton
Wright Mabie_.

_"Unquestionably the Final Edition" of_

The Life and Letters of Benjamin Franklin

Edited by ALBERT H. SMYTH, late Professor of English Language and
Literature in the Central High School, Philadelphia. In ten volumes
with twenty portraits.

_Special limited edition, $30.00 net._
_Eversley edition, $15.00 net._

"The volume closes with a copy of Franklin's will and a
series of remarkably complete indexes, rendering the
contents of all the volumes easily accessible from several
different points of view. The whole work bears evidences of
painstaking care and devotion to the task for its own sake.
It is incomparably the best and most complete edition of
Franklin's writings in existence, containing all that is
worth preserving, while in arrangement, editorial treatment,
and mechanical workmanship it leaves nothing to be desired.
The set is certain to have an irresistible attraction for
admirers of Franklin and for lovers of well-made
books."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.

"'Franklin's writings are his best biography.' To few has it
been given to tell their own story so frankly and so fully,
and with shrewd wisdom and such unfailing humor. We have
already, on several occasions, described this excellent
edition of Franklin, the fullest, the most accurate that we
have ever had."--_Churchman._

"Some interesting notes regarding the twenty rare Franklin
portraits that have appeared in these volumes are given in
the preface to Volume X. The most interesting portrait is
the one appearing as the final volume frontispiece, a
photogravure of the painting that originally belonged to
Franklin, which was taken from his home in Philadelphia
during the British occupation, and after the lapse of 130
years was presented to the United States by Earl Gray. It
was painted in London in 1759 by Benjamin Wilson, and is now
in the White House at Washington."--_Boston Transcript._
