HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES

FROM THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE PRESENT TIME.
BY J. A. SPENCER, D. D.,

MEMBER OF THE NEW YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY, AUTHOR OF "EGYPT AND THE HOLY LAND," ETC., ETC.
Illustrated with Fifty-four highly finished Steel Engravings, from original pictures by LEUTZE, WEIB,
POWELL, CHAPPEL, etc. Price (3 vols.,) Bound in Cloth, $15; Half Morrocco, extra, or
Antique, $19; Gilt Edges, $21; or Full Morrocco, extra, or Antique, best style, $25.

There is a wonderful combination of native talent of the first order in this truly "National Work."-New York Daily Times. This National History, written by an accomplished American author, and copiously and beautifully embellished by American artists, (among whom are LEUTZE, WEIR, VANDERLYN, POWELL, CHAPPEL and OERTELL), commends itself by its sterling merit to the favorable consideration of the American public.-Newark Daily Advertiser.

AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY BIOGRAPHY!!

With Original Illustrations by CHAPPEL.

IN COURSE OF PUBLICATION IN TWO VOLS., QUARTO, (TO BE READY IN APRIL.)

LIFE & TIMES OF WASHINGTON.

CONTAINING A PARTICULAR ACCOUNT OF NATIONAL PRINCIPLES AND EVENTS,
AND OF THE ILLUSTRIOUS MEN OF THE REVOLUTION.

INCLUDING BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF THE REVOLUTIONARY HEROES, WITH A COMPLETE INDEX OF REFERENCE.

By JOHN FREDERICK SCHROEDER, D. D.,

AUTHOR OF "MAXIMS OF WASHINGTON," ETC., ETC.

Illustrated with Forty-seven highly finished Steel Engravings, from original designs of Historical Scenes, and full-length Portraits of Revolutionary Heroes, by ALONZO CHAPPEL.

"Among the works of rare excellence and merit now in course of publication, we would mention the LIFE AND TIMES OF WashINGTON, by Schroeder, this being one of the most valuable additions to our historical literature that has claimed public attention for many years. It is at once a comprehensive history of our country, and a faithful biography of its founders, defenders and benefactors, making one of the best hational works that can possibly engage the attention of American citizens. Its illustrations are all drawn from original paintings by the most eminent artists, and the letter-press, paper, and mechanical execution are not excelled by any similar publication in either the old or new world. In collecting and presenting the material which compose the work, Dr. Schroeder has taken the utmost pains to observe accuracy and truthfulness, and he has at the same time made it as readable and attractive as the most charming romance.-Boston Transcript.

CHARLES B. NORTON,

CLINTON HALL, ASTOR PLACE, NEW YORK.

This Collection is believed to be second only to the one in the Astor Library. It being desirable to dispose of it in one lot, and looking only to the Bibliographer for a purchaser,

to whom the titles will be familiar, they have been given in short,

and very few allusions made to rarities.

Although many of the works have become extremely scarce, yet the prices in the aggregate are far below the market value. They have been mostly ribɔund, in turk mor. or 1⁄2 calf, except when it was desirable to preserve the original bindings, which in some cases are very rich.

Annals of Albany. By JOEL MUNSELL. 6 vols. 12mo..... 6 00

Its contributions to history and antiquities contain much that is curious and interesting, obtained at no little cost of time and labor. No one has done more to recall the ancient features of the city. Curious in these matters, the author calls and preserves them in their antique forms, and thus rescues them from the oblivion into which the struc tures, the ways, the customs, and even the names of the olden times would otherwise be liable to pass. The modern names and places, by the side of the ancient annals and things, combine the past and the present in useful and interesting juxtaposition. The curious in these researches will find this book a treasure, and well worth the price. It has fine views of Albany, as it is, and illustrative wood cuts and maps: but its chief interest consists in its portraiture of Albany as it was in the olden time.--Argus.

This work discovers great research and good judgment, and especially as a work of reference is deserving of all praise. Its great value consists in its bringing together a multitude of important facts from the four winds and presenting them in a form which renders them at once accessible to every body. To every student this book is a perfect labor-saving machine; and to persons of every description it will be found of great value as bringing a great amount of valuable matter within very narrow limits.-Argus.
