The Romance of the Colorado River : :
A Complete Account of the Discovery and of the Explorations from 1540 to the Present Time, with Particular Reference to the two Voyages of Powell through the Line of the Great Canyons
By FREDERICK S. DELLENBAUGH 8°, with 200 Illustrations, net, $3.50. By mail, $3.75
" As graphic and as interesting as a novel. . . . Of especial value to the average reader is the multiplicity of pictures. They occur on almost every page, and while the text is always clear, these pictures give, from a single glance, an idea of the vastness of the canyons and their remarkable formation, which it would be beyond the power of pen to describe. And the color reproduction of the water-color draw- ing that Thomas Moran made of the entrance to Bright Angel Trail gives some faint idea of the glories of color which have made the Grand Canyon the wonder and the admiration of the world."-The Cleveland Leader.
" His scientific training, his long experience in this region, and his eye for natural scenery enable him to make this account of the Col- orado River most graphic and interesting. No other book equally good can be written for many years to come-not until our knowl- edge of the river is greatly enlarged."-The Boston Herald.

The St. Lawrence River
Historical Legendary Picturesque
By GEORGE WALDO BROWNE Author of "Japan - the Place and the People " " Paradise of the Pacific," etc.
8º. Fully Illustrated. Uniform with "The Hudson River." Net, $3.50. By express, prepaid, $3.75
W HILE the St. Lawrence River has been the scene of many important events connected with the discovery and development of a large portion of North America, no attempt has here- tofore been made to collect and embody in one volume a complete and comprehensive narrative of this great waterway. This is not denying that considerable has been written relating to it, but the various offer- ings have been scattered through many volumes, and most of these have become inaccessible to the general reader.
This work presents in a single volume a succinct and unbroken account of the most important historic in- cidents connected with the river, combined with descriptions of some of its most picturesque scenery and frequent selections from its prolific sources of legends and traditions. In producing the hundred illustrations care has been taken to give as wide a scope as possible to the views belonging to the river.

The Hudson River from Ocean to Source :
Historical Legendary Picturesque
By EDGAR MAYHEW BACON Author of " Chronicles of Tarrytown," etc. Large 8°, with over 100 illustrations. Net, $4.50. By express, prepaid, $4.75.
N O stream in America is so rich in legends and historic associations as the Hudson. From ocean to source every mile of it is crowded with reminders of the early explorers, of the Indian wars, of the struggle of the colonies, and of the quaint, peace- ful village existence along its banks in the early days of the Republic. Before the explorers came, the river figured to a great extent in the legendary history of the Indian tribes of the East. Mr. Bacon is well equipped for the undertaking of a book of this sort, and the story he tells is of national interest.
The volume is illustrated with views taken especially for this work and with many rare old prints now first published in book form.
