"_WE HAVE NOTHING AS GOOD._"--N.Y. Independent.

* * * * *

Arthur Gilman's History of the American People.

The publishers embrace the opportunity afforded by the
publication of the SIXTH THOUSAND of this important work to
bring together a few extracts from the large number of
commendatory reviews that it has been favored with. They exhibit
a singular unanimity of opinion.

* * * * *

"On its own ground, and for its clearly defined purpose, _we have
nothing as good_, are not likely to have. It begins a long step back of
the beginning, with Plato's Atlantis, tells the story of Columbus, Cabot
and the other explorers, or the Aborigines, of the French and Spanish
settlements, and so finds its way to the English colonies, the war for
independence, and down through the long history to the recent events of
President Arthur's administration. Considering the general brevity of
the book, it is _marvellously full_; and considering the long story to
be told, crowded with fact and detail; _the graceful style, warm
coloring and general lifelike animation_ of the books is a still greater
marvel.

"Mr. Gilman writes with a happy pen which _never fumbles for a word_,
and has the knack of saying a thing accurately, concisely and
gracefully. He lights up his pages with items gleaned from rare sources.
He puts in telling and characteristic facts. He is good in topography,
and makes a skilful and judicious use of local antiquarian lore. He is
an intelligent reporter of debates, who knows how to condense the strong
and vital points of a long history. He is neither shy nor timid in
expressing his opinion on controverted questions, but carries such a
happy art in his boldness that it will never lose him a reader. His
account of the constitutional debate and of the political situation at
the close of the Revolutionary War, and the brief touches in the
subsequent development of political history, are done well. Working very
much on the general lines and methods of Mr. Green, in his history of
the English people, he notes the progress of the arts of life, of
literature, education and social life, and in discussing political
affairs, brings, them up to the high standard of independent liberalism.
_The book is well manufactured_, with good paper and open, clear
type."--New York _Independent._

"Mr. Gilman has rehearsed the interesting and wonderful story of the
people of these United States in a _clear and concise_ way, and has
enlivened the narrative by extracts from letters, diaries, newspapers
and other contemporary writings.... The book opens with a condensed and
accurate account of the early voyages of discovery and exploration,
beginning with that of Columbus; and among the subjects presented with a
reasonable degree of fulness may be enumerated the efforts towards union
form 1637 to the adoption of the Constitution, and the nature and
influence of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1798 and 1799....
The growth of the feeling of nationality is well brought out.... The
slavery struggle is well described.... The last chapter in the book, on
the 'Era of Progressive National Life,' is exceptionally well
written.... The most agreeable portions of the volume, however, are
those wherein the habits and manners of the past are described.... The
books contains very many (173) wood-cuts which have been selected with
great care and god judgment.... An excellent index closes the book, and
the publishers are to be congratulated on the mechanical excellence of
the volume. In fine, _it is the most attractive one-volume History of
the United States_ that we have seen."--Boston _Literary World._

"Mr. Gilman aims at something more than a literary production. He is by
training and instinct an educator. This story of the people's life will
foster a genuine love of country by the wholesome method of
instruction.... The contents are succinctly massed; the statements
embody facts, not speculations. It is a book that will be popular and it
is written for popular acceptance, yet _its accuracy will stand. Nothing
better exists_ as a compendium of our country's history, if in a
compendium we desire not figures and facts only, but the flesh and blood
reality of living history."--Boston _Transcript._

"This work sustains the already established reputation of the author.
The extreme care with which the facts have been collated, and the
attention shown to the latest results of investigation and discussion
even in minor matters, make it _very valuable as a book of
reference._"--_Berkshire Co. Eagle._

"The author shows rare tact and wisdom."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"Bring out on the canvas a noble picture of the grand American
movement."--_New York Home Journal._

"The chapters form pleasing and finished pictures, one by one, of the
various stages in our national career. It is a good book for out-loud
reading at the home fireside."--_Chicago Standard._

"Probably the best history of the United States that has appeared in a
single volume."--_Detroit Post and Tribune._

"Fascinating."--_Cleveland Leader._

"Thoroughly interesting."--_Portland Globe._

"The social and political history of the people of America is told with
point and brevity, and yet with a wealth of incident and ease of style
that ensure interest and charm to the narrative.... It is _the most
interesting_ compendious history that we have ever read."--_Outing and
The Wheelman._

"By far the best history of our country ever published in one volume. In
fact there is more in it than there is in any large history, except,
perhaps, Bancroft and Hildreth, and even in these the majority of
readers can never get the facts so nicely arranged and so neatly
formulated.... _I say without any reserve that there is no other history
of the United States comparable with this._"--_J.W. Heston_, Pres't
Pennsylvania State College.

designed the wing covers and the twelve exquisite illustrations in
colors. $1.25.
