Young Folks' Book of American Explorers
By Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Uniform with the "Young Folks' History of the United States." One volume, fully illustrated. Price $1.50.
"It is not a history told in the third person, nor an historical novel for young folks, where the author supposes the chief characters to have thought and said such and such things under such and such circumstances; but it is the genuine description given by the persons who experienced the things they described in letters written home."—Montpelier Journal.
The Nation in a Nutshell
By George Makepeace Towle, author of "Heroes of History," "Young Folks' History of England," "Young Folks' History of Ireland," etc. Price 50 cents.
"To tell the story of a nation like ours in a nutshell, requires a peculiar faculty for selecting, condensing, and philosophizing. The brevity with which he relates the principal events in American history, does not detract from the charming interest of the narrative style."—Public Opinion.
