"Though disclaiming original investigation beyond the careful use of the leading authorities, Mrs. Seelye has been at much pains not to give the reader the discredited myths used by the old school of biographers. It is a poor service to relate as history an interesting story that is not true, or to lift an historical figure into a heroism far from his real character. To give the facts as we know them, and to show Columbus as he really was, has been the sincere endeavor of the writer of this book. The story is wonderful enough without the embellishment of fiction; the man is interesting enough when painted in his real colors."—From the Introduction, by Edward Eggleston.
ON THE PLANTATION.
BRER RABBIT PREACHES.
By Joel Chandler Harris, author of "Uncle Remus." With 23 Illustrations by E. W. Kemble, and Portrait of the Author. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The most personal and in some respects the most important work which Mr. Harris has published since "Uncle Remus." Many will read between the lines and see the autobiography of the author. In addition to the stirring incidents which appear in the story, the author presents a graphic picture of certain phases of Southern life which have not appeared in his books before. There are also new examples of the folk-lore of the negroes, which became classic when presented to the public in the pages of "Uncle Remus."
"The book is in the characteristic vein which has made the author so famous and popular as an interpreter of plantation character."—Rochester Union and Advertiser.
"Those who never tire of Uncle Remus and his stories—with whom we would be accounted—will delight in Joe Maxwell and his exploits."—London Saturday Review.
