D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.

_WITH THE FATHERS. Studies in the History of the United States._ By JOHN BACH MCMASTER, Professor of American History in the University of Pennsylvania, author of "The History of the People of the United States," etc. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.

"The book is of great practical value, as many of the essays throw a broad light over living questions of the day. Prof.

McMaster has a clear, simple style that is delightful. His facts are gathered with great care, and admirably interwoven to impress the subject under discussion upon the mind of the reader."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._

"Prof. McMaster's essays possess in their diversity a breadth which covers most of the topics which are current as well as historical, and each is so scholarly in treatment and profound in judgment that the importance of their place in the library of political history can not be gainsaid."--_Was.h.i.+ngton Times._

"Such works as this serve to elucidate history and make more attractive a study which an abstruse writer only makes perplexing. All through the studies there is a note of intense patriotism and a conviction of the sound sense of the American people which directs the government to a bright goal."--_Chicago Record._

"A wide field is here covered, and is covered in Prof.

McMaster's own inimitable and fascinating style.... Can not but have a marked value as a work of reference upon several most important subjects."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._

"There is much that is interesting in this little book, and it is full of solid chunks of political information."--_Buffalo Commercial._

"Clear, penetrating, dispa.s.sionate, convincing. His language is what one should expect from the Professor of American History in the University of Pennsylvania. Prof. McMaster has proved before now that he can write history with the breath of life in it, and the present volume is new proof."--_Chicago Tribune._

"Of great practical value.... Charming and instructive history."--_New Haven Leader._

"An interesting and most instructive volume."--_Detroit Journal._

"At once commends itself to the taste and judgment of all historical readers. His style charms the general reader with its open and frank ways, its courageous form of statement, its sparkling, crisp narrative and description, and its close and penetrating a.n.a.lysis of character and events."--_Boston Courier._

THE STORY OF THE WEST SERIES.

Edited by Ripley Hitchc.o.c.k.

"There is a vast extent of territory lying between the Missouri River and the Pacific coast which has barely been skimmed over so far. That the conditions of life therein are undergoing changes little short of marvelous will be understood when one recalls the fact that the first white male child born in Kansas is still living there; and Kansas is by no means one of the newer States. Revolutionary indeed has been the upturning of the old condition of affairs, and little remains thereof, and less will remain as each year goes by, until presently there will be only tradition of the Sioux and Comanches, the cowboy life, the wild horse, and the antelope. Histories, many of them, have been written about the Western country alluded to, but most if not practically all by outsiders who knew not personally that life of kaleidoscopic allurement. But ere it shall have vanished forever we are likely to have truthful, complete, and charming portrayals of it produced by men who actually knew the life and have the power to describe it."--_Henry Edward Rood, in the Mail and Express._

_NOW READY._

_THE STORY OF THE INDIAN._ By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL, author of "p.a.w.nee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"In every way worthy of an author who, as an authority upon the Western Indians, is second to none. A book full of color, abounding in observation, and remarkable in sustained interest, it is at the same time characterized by a grace of style which is rarely to be looked for in such a work, and which adds not a little to the charm of it"--_London Daily Chronicle._

"Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in thought, feeling, and culture. Only long a.s.sociation with Indians can enable a white man measurably to comprehend their thoughts and enter into their feelings.

Such a.s.sociation has been Mr. Grinnell's."--_New York Sun._
