Colton, Olive A. Rambles abroad. $2. Franklin ptg. and engr. co.
The author “recounts at the outset her visit to Naples and Rome, interspersing her narrative of travel with historical discussion.... From Rome she takes us to Vienna, Budapest, Munich, Wartburg and Weimar, thence to Paris. A visit to England and Windsor castle concludes the trip. The pictures are excellent throughout.”—Boston Evening Transcript.
“Miss Colton has nothing new to tell, in this narrative of a brief European trip; but she tells her story simply and well.”

Colyar, Arthur St. Clair. Life and times of Andrew Jackson; soldier—statesman—president. 2v. $6. Marshall & B.
Mr. Colyar is a lawyer and an enthusiastic admirer of Jackson. His object in writing these books is to give a sympathetic account of the great Tennesseean, and he has produced a democratic biography which is at times historically biased.
