This new edition contains not only an accurate re-print of the edition of 1851, but also copious editorial notes, and introduction, personal reminiscences of Morgan by Charles T. Porter, a brief biography of Morgan with a bibliography of his writings, a sketch of the lives of Ely S. Parker and Charles T. Porter, an excellent index, and many illustrations.
“One-volume reprint of the two-volume original lacks nothing desirable in the way of critical apparatus.”

“Still remains the best and most authoritative work on the subject. For his editorial notes Mr. Lloyd has drawn upon every source of information, and they reveal his wide and discriminating reading of literature on the Iroquois. Not only a work of prime importance to all students of Indian life and character, but a book that one reads with genuine enjoyment for its own sake.” L. J. Burpee.

Morris, William O’Connor. Wellington, soldier and statesman, and the revival of the military power of England. [**]$1.35; hf. lea. [**]$1.60. Putnam.
“This is the most recent volume of the “Heroes of the nations” series.... The book is in no sense a biography of Wellington, but almost entirely a military history. The Peninsular war forms, as it were, the kernel.... But Wellington’s early career is not neglected. The promise of his youth ... is well indicated in the first chapter, and in the second, the seven years spent in India are ... treated.... The ninth chapter deals with the campaign of 1815.... The remainder of the book, on the duke’s political life, is not so detailed.... There are 16 portraits of the principal personages, and 16 maps and plans.”—Nation.
“This is a hopelessly mediocre book. The book has not even ... a correct, agreeable, and lucid style. It cannot be recommended even for the instruction of the general public and school-boys.” R. M. Johnston.
