History for Ready Reference

and Topical Reading

IN FIVE IMPERIAL VOLUMES

By J. N. LARNED, Ex-Pres. Am. Library Association

Giving History on All Topics in the Exact Words of the Historians Themselves This work contains the choicest selections, upon thousands of topics, from those historians whose writings have been accorded the highest place by the common consent of mankind.

In this work, therefore, we have the Literature of History, with the fascination, interest, and charm of our great historical writers.

Its attractions, especially to the young, in forming a taste for the best of literature, cannot possibly be surpassed.

It gives the source (i. e., title, author, volume, page, or place) of every excerpt. The power and extent of literal quotation are shown in this work as in no other; five thousand volumes contributing their choicest selections, while references are made to over seven thousand more.

The unexcelled historical maps; its system of Cross-Reference and Non-repetition, making it equivalent to a work, without these features, of very many volumes; the exact text of National Constitutions and great Historical Documents; the extensive Chronologies; the Time and Labor-saving features of its unique system of Ready Reference; the acknowledged scholarly discrimination" shown throughout-all unite in making it one of the greatest and most valuable works ever published. It represents in its entire make-up the worth, the beauty, and the dignity of history.

Attested, as to its superiority, by thousands, representatives of every department of human activity.

By W. C. BRÖGGER and NORDAHL ROLFSEN. Translated by William Archer. With numerous Illustrations,
Portraits, and Maps. 8vo, $4.00.

2

Though Fridtiof Nansen is still a young man, his life has from the first been full of activity and adventure. His countrymen, Nordahl Rolfsen and Professor W Brogger, have written and edited a popular account of his family (which is noted in Scandinavian history), his training, his domestic life, and his scientific and sporting enterprises. They have applied to specialists for chapters on his work as a biologist, on the scientific significance of his famous crossing of Greenland, and on the history and conditions of Arctic exploration. A full account is given of the "Fram," and of the preparations for the recent expedition.

A NEW WORK IN FICTION.
THE WIZARD

By H. RIDER HACGARD, author of "She," "King Solomon's Mines," "Joan Haste," etc., etc. With 19 full-page Illustrations by Charles Kerr. Crown 8vo, cloth, ornamental, $1.25.

Mr. Rider Haggard's new story has a motive which is believed to be new to recent fiction. The tale is African, and deals with the conversion of a savage tribe by a missionary and martyr, who does not trust to the ordinary resources of proselytism, but takes his stand upon a literai interpretation of the New Testament promises. The story tells how his faith triumphed, and how it was strangely supported and justified by a superior Power working through the forces of nature and granting a direct aid which so many deny in these latter days to be vouchsafed to The keynote of the book is that Faith can, and still does, work miracles.
