THE MAKING OF NEW ENGLAND.
Reading edition
1580—1643. By SAMUEL ADAMS DRAKE. With many illustrations and maps. One volume, 12mo. $1.50.
In his preface the author says: "To enhance the interest of this story, emphasis has been given to everything that went to make up the home-life of the pioneer settlers, or that relates to their various avocations." In all history no better examples of manliness, energy, and conscientiousness could be found, to be read about and studied by a child whose character is just forming. The story is told in such a vivid way that it is as interesting and absorbing as a romance.
