HISTORIC STATES OF ITALY

A Series of Histories of the Italian States. Each State is treated as a separate entity; and the fulness of the treatment is determined by the importance of the State in Italian or European history.

These narrations are histories in the widest sense of the term. They describe not only the political life of the people, but treat also of the geographical conditions which influence their temperament, and affect those social and commercial impulses which in turn create or modify their political movements. At the same time, the history of the art and literature of each State is briefly told.

"His largeness of vision, his sound scholarship, his sense of proportion, his power to measure life that has been by his observation of life that is—his possession of the true historical sense.... He is a bold, not to say audacious, proponent of new theories and conclusions wholly at variance from those of his innumerable predecessors in this most industriously cultivated of all historic fields. The translation is competent and more than that, and the history is good reading throughout. There are no dry pages."—N. Y. Times.

AMERICAN HISTORY

THE THIRTEEN COLONIES

By Helen Ainslie Smith, author of "One Hundred Famous Americans," etc. 2 volumes, fully illustrated. Cloth, $3.00. Half leather, gilt top, $3.50.

"The books are lucid, direct, and simple, and will make an excellent addition to any historical library, condensing as they do, within two volumes, the facts for which the student must ordinarily search far."—The Interior.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

By Edwin Erle Sparks, Ph.D., author of "The Expansion of the American People," etc. 2 volumes, fully illustrated. Cloth, net $2.70. Half leather, gilt top, net $3.20. (Postage, 30c.)

This narrative traces the gradual evolution of a confederated Republic under the laws of necessity; acknowledges that radical departures have been made from first ideals as a result of progress; takes into constant consideration the underlying forces of heredity and environment. In brief, these two volumes tell the story of the United States. They show how the phrase "the United States is" has been slowly and unconsciously evolved in the process of time from the early practice of saying "the United States are."

THE SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS

By Thomas C. Dawson, late Secretary American Legation, Brazil. 2 volumes, fully illustrated. Cloth, net $2.70. Half leather, gilt top, net $3.20. (Postage, 30 cts.)

"The book is a worthy addition to a series which has included a number of first class monographs.... The author's English is clear and direct.... He uses excellent judgment in the selection and arrangement of his material, and he tells his story as one who knows the story well himself and who is able to make it plain to his readers.... Few works of fiction can boast of more undiluted romance than can be found in the history of South America."—The Providence Journal.

THE STORY OF CANADA

By J. G. Bourinot, C.M.G., LL.D., D.C.L. Fully illustrated, with maps. Cloth, $1.50. Half leather, gilt top, $1.75.

"Dr. Bourinot has admirably executed his work.... He has been impartial, sincere, loyal, accurate, and clear-sighted, and his simplicity of style and vigor of intellect, joined to the interest of the subject, make the book of exceeding benefit and interest to the Dominion of Canada and to the British Empire."—The Critic.

THE STORY OF MEXICO

By Susan Hale. Fully illustrated. Cloth, $1.50. Half leather, gilt top, $1.75.

"One of the most fascinating of the series.... It is not too much to say that nowhere else within the same compass will be found so clear, accurate, vivid, and at the same time, so thoroughly comprehensive a narrative of Mexico's past, combined with a description of her future."—Boston Traveller.

The above titles are taken from the "Story of the Nations Series," comprising 74 titles.

In France, England, and the United States, this work is recognized as the most important of all the contributions to modern history. It places M. Hanotaux in the front rank of French historians with Guizot, De Tocqueville, and Thiers.

CONTEMPORARY FRANCE By GABRIEL HANOTAUX Formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs Translated by JOHN CHARLES TARVER and E. SPARVEL-BAYLY

Four volumes. Octavo. Each complete in itself and covering a definite period. Illustrated with portraits in photogravure. Sold separately, each, net, $3.75.

Vol. I. FRANCE IN 1870-1873. Vol. II. FRANCE IN 1873-1875. Vol. III. FRANCE IN 1874-1877. Vol. IV. FRANCE IN 1877-1882.

"It is with satisfaction on taking up one of the most important contributions to history, to find the work so sympathetically and exactly translated as is M. Hanotaux's 'Contemporary France.' Such a translation fits the American reader to appreciate the work in all of its excellence.... The first of the four volumes challenges our attention from start to finish, because in it we recognize not only the work of a careful, trained scholar, but also that of the first-hand observer.... M. Hanotaux guides us with a very personal hand; on every page he gives recollections of the great men whom he himself has known.... The readers of this volume will await with keen interest the publication of the others. Together the four should form a monument of contemporary history indispensable to the library of the student either of recent history or present politics."—The Outlook.
