Orth (Samuel P.). Five American Politicians. Burr --- Douglas - Clay - Clinton - Van Buren. Size, 712×534; 447 pages, photogravure portraits, cloth (postage .10) $2.00
American Politics examined in the light of present day administration may be said to comprise two distinct features, i. e., personality and principle. The machinery of modern politics had its inception in the desire of certain men to carry out issues and fultil ambitions highly neces- sary to their own advancement and success. There have been many distinct successes in this peculiar field but it has been Dr. Orth's object to show the beginnings of this essentially American phase of political life. Each of the five great names contributed some special feature.
To Aaron Burr may be given the credit of the first American political machine. It has survived the century as Tammany Hall. His romantic life and tragic death add a double interest to the story of his political career.
De Witt Clinton was the founder of the Spoils System, the earliest and most pernicious of all forms of graft. The life of the man was a series of paradoxes: the strong and weak points constantly in contrast one with the other, and his final transformation from a "spoils" politician to one of our greatest constructive statesmen forms an in- structing as well as interesting chapter in our history.
The system originated by Clinton was deftly carried by another to Washington. The story of Martin Van Buren is one of careful plotting and clever manipulation ; his ousting of Jackson to become President, and the methods used by him to avoid snares and pitfalls is as fascinating as a romance.
A Master and Victim of Compromise and Coalition, Henry Clay stands pre-eminent. Five times he stood for the presidency, either before the convention or the people, only to be defeated. For half a century he was a leading actor on our political stage: the organizer of a powerful party ; the originator of great issues.
One other name-Stephen A. Douglas. Defender of State Rights, must be included, as denoting a man who lead the old Democracy into the land of promise and the realm of nationalism. His life was given to that period which determined for us whether we were to be a nation or a confederation.
The book is written in a lucid, straightforward manner, the author's chief object being to bring out the foremost political episodes in ihe lives of the five men under con- sideration.
The growth of the spoils system and party machinery; the origin of the caucus and its decline; the rise and de- velopment of the convention plan, and other details of modern politics are treated exhaustively from an historical standpoint and moreover the fundamental thought throughout the book is to show how all the diverse factors combined to aid in the development of the nation and how politics and statecraft have united continually in forming and preserving the Union.

Douglas (James, LL.D.) Old France in the New World. Quebec in the Seventeenth Century. Second Edition. Size, 614x834; pages, 597; por- traits in photogravure and many full page half-tones, buckram, gilt, extra (postage .12) $2.50
An admirable book on the making of Canada under the French rule, and especially of the beginnings of Que- bec, Dr. Douglas having made a particular study of the old town and its associations. A scholarly and open minded account, fully illustrated, of the development of that great country to the north of us. With careful and comprehensive index.
"The author follows the fortunes of the French settle- ment on the St. Lawrence with a firm grasp of the philoso- phy of its history, and with many entertaining details .. . and is a valuable addition to the increasing literature of the subject .- N. Y. Tribune.
"The illustrations, plans, maps and facsimiles are numerous, exceedingly well executed, and historically valuable."-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
"It contains a wealth of information, part of which is new and what is not is told in such an attractive manner as to give it all the charm of novelty."-Quebec Chronicle. "Dr. Douglas adds a very substantial and comprehen- sive volume to the literature of the subject . . . in fact he has achieved a work of value."-New York Times Satur- day Review.
"The history of Canada is well worth reading, and the book contains one of the best indexes ever seen in a vol- ume of this kind, filling some fifty-four pages. The work is handsomely printed and bound, and the frontispiece is a photogravure of the study for a portrait of Cardinal Richelieu, by Phillippe de Champaigne, in the National Gallery."-Boston Transcript.
"Old France in the New World" will be invaluable to all those who wish to study, in the formative period, the people who now form one-third of the population of the Dominion."-Manitoba Free Press.

*Leonard (Zenas). Narrative of Adventures, 1839. Edited by W. F. Wagner. Size 6x9, pages 317; map, portraits, cloth (postage .14) $5.00
Since Washington Irving gave us "Capt. Bonneville" and "Astoria" the interest in the Great West has been un - abated. Lewis and Clark were the pioneers through the country which Leonard describes and here for the first time is presented in accurate print, one of the most re- markable records of early western adventure (on the prai- ries and in the Rockies) ever experienced by individuals. The first description of the Yosemite is here given, of the redwoods of Mariposa and the big trees of the (then) Cali- fornia Territory. Leonard became a member of the

Walker Expedition and later in 1834, joined Capt. Bonne- ville at Salt Lake. becoming intimate with the celebrated Joe Meek and the renegade Edward Rose, of Astorian fame.
The introduction and very numerous and excellent annotations are by Dr. W. F. Wagner. There are maps, fine portraits, and an index of great value. The original work is one of extreme scarcity and its authenticity is in no way to be doubted. A limited number of copies are offered for sale. The present and coming interest in the Oregon country adds greatly to the value of this book.
"The journal tells a great deal about the western Indian Tribes."-American Hist. Review.
"This reprint is fully and capably annotated. The value of the publication is increased by an exhaustive index . .. and a map showing the location of the Cali- fornia missions in 1769-1824."-Cedar Rapids Republican.
"A good account is given of the California territory, its climate, soil, mountains, streams, crops and native Indians." -- N. Y. Times Sat. Review.
Guardia (Ricardo Fernandez) Cuentos Ticos. Short stories of Costa Rica. Translated from the Spanish by Gray Casement, with an introduction and many half-tone illustrations. Size 5 x 734; pages 293, cloth, ( postpaid) $2.00
Costa Rica has its own literature and the above collec- tion-a typical one-of Central American stories has been carefully and smoothly translated by Gray Casement. a close student of the Latin-American life, and one who makes a strong bid for the future of these southern re- publics. Guardia is considered the leading exponent of belles-lettres in Costa Rica and his work has exerted a strong intluence over his countrymen. Here for the first time he is put in English and the illustrations and lengthy introduction by the translator make the book unique in the position which it tills.
"Some of the stories are humorous, some tragic; but all show power and present life vividly."-New York Sun. "Senor Guardia is considered one of the leading lit- erary men of Costa Rica, if not of Central America. The unusual merit of he short stories in this collection makes the reader desirous of knowing more of his work. Mr. Casement, who is responsible for the translation, has performed a difficult task in a very satisfactory man- ner."-New Orleans Picayune.
"Mr. Casement has been able to retain in his transla- tion the effect of the language in which the stories were written. He has kept the idiomatic terms of expression as nearly as possible and the touches of local color make one of their most pleasing qualities."-Cleveland Leader.
"Here is a unique book indeed * * * Tales like these are not to be found elsewhere."-The Emporia ( Kansas) Bulletin.

"The stories are not only good-they are very good. In fact they will remind the reader of the brilliant sketches of Selma Lagerlof, the Swedish impressionist. One feels after reading the book through that he has been making a voyage of discovery, that he has never known Costa Rica before more than a geographical name and a possible space on the map of that neck of woods known as Central * The America-but that now he knows it well. * short novels that Mr. Casement has translated for us are cut as clean as a cameo. There is not an amateurish line in them."-Cleveland Town Topics.
"Mr. Casement's account of the little republic is more thorough and satisfactory than any we have met with."- Cleveland Plain Dealer.
* * * ** In 'El Clavel' (The Pink) is told the story of a country girl who vainly loves a well-to-do gentleman of the city : although here and there reminiscent of Castilian story tellers, the tales and the style in which they are re- lated, make one wish to know more of Senor Guardia and his works."-New York Times Sat. Review.

*Wafer (Lionel). A New Voyage to America. Edited by George Parker Winship. Size 6 x 9, pages 212, two folding maps and three folding plates, cloth (postage .12) $3.50
A reprint of one of the most valuable early treatises on Central America and the Isthmus. Published in 1699, the volume has been one of great rarity until now pre- sented with all the original plates, maps and a new chart of the country as it is today. Invaluable as a contribution toward our canal literature and the annotations which have been added by Mr. Winship, relating to the ethnol- ogy and anthropology of the country, greatly enhance its worth. Edition of 500 copies.
"The publishers have done their full share to produce a book quite in keeping with their well established repu- tation. The original edition of the work is so scarce that students . .. have hitherto had little opportunity of con- sulting it."-American Anthropologist.
"In the elegant reprints to which the Burrows Brothers Co., Cleveland, Ohio, has devoted itself, timely is Lionel Wafer's 'New Voyage. etc.' The very competent editor, Mr. George Parker Winship . .. has supplemented the text of the narrative with notes drawn from buccaneer literature of the time. . . The original illustrations are given in facsimile, together with the British Admiralty map."-The Nation.
"The work is not only one which should be in every library of Americana, but is highly interesting to the lay reader."-C. F. Lummis, in Out West.
"The introduction and annotations of the reprint are valuable contributions to history and anthropology."- Boston Transcript.

"As an example of the bookmaker's art, this reprint is almost ideal and the editorial work fully bears out Mr. Winship's reputation for careful scholarship."-American Hist. Review.
"Mr. Winship's contribution is a scholarly piece of work."-N. Y. Times Sat. Review.
"A delightful story of old buccaneering days, told by a real buccaneer. His account should be read with interest now that the Panama canal promises to become a reality."-N. Y. Sun.
*Hutchins (Thomas). A Topographical Des- cription of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, etc. Edited by Frederick Charles Hicks. Size 93/8 x 63/8, pages 143, folding maps, portrait and plates, cloth $4.00
On handmade deckle edge paper, super extra (postage .16) $6.00
Thomas Hutchins, the author, occupies a unique place in the history of American cartography, being the only in- cumbent of the civil office of "Geographer of the United States," the position ceasing to exist after his death in 1789.
While directed by him there were executed the first public surveys under the auspices of the Government. He is entitled to commendation not only because of this fact but for the reason of his honorable connection of over twenty-two years, as an officer in the British army, eigh- teen of which were given to the Engineer Department.
His observations covering the entire southern and western country from West Florida to the Lakes, are em- bodied in several maps and two books, the earlier of which is now offered to the public in an accurate reprint. The prefatory remarks indicate that the volume is intended more particularly to explain the larger map entitled "The new map of the western parts of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland and North Carolina," etc., published separately but of the same date as the book. This chart, 35 x 45 inches in size, together with the folded maps included in the volume, are reproduced with absolute accuracy. Strange as it may seem. the life of Hutchins who in many respects was vitally connected with the history of the American Colonies, their struggle for independence, and their de- velopment after it was attained, has never been written. As an introduction to the volume, the editor, Frederick Charles Hicks, formerly of the Library of Congress, has prepared, entirely from original sources, an extended ac- count of the man, supplemented by a bibliography of his published and unpublished writings. The Topographical Description is copiously annotated and the whole pro- vided with a complete index. Included is the particularly important and exceedingly scarce Journal of Patrick Kennedy, together with a list of the different nations and tribes of Indians then scattered throughout those parts. As an addition to our cartographical literature the work is

"Mr. Hicks has made scholarly use of the opportunity which he had for several years as a member of the staff of the Congressional Library."-Bulletin Amer. Geog. Society.
"The publishers whose reprints of neglected and well nigh forgotten historical documents deserve not only praise but substantial recognition, have done well in reviving the memoirs and work of Hutchins. . .. We re- gret that the edition is limited. as it is a book which should be in every public library."-The Nation.
"An admirable reproduction of a pioneer survey of the Ohio valley. It is a thoroughly creditable per- formance." -- N. Y. Sun.
"Mr. Hicks has taken his task seriously, using good source material and collecting his information with com- mendable care."-Amer. Hist. Reciow.

*Eliot (Jolin). The Logick Primer. Edited by Wilberforce Eames. Size 512 x 65%; pages 94, facsimiles, cloth, extra (postage .10) $6.00
A reprint of one of the scarcest pieces of Americana, of which there now exists but one original copy in the British Museum. Has both the Indian and English text and is edited by Wilberforce Eames of the Lenox Library. A few copies only remain out of an edition of 150.
"Mr. Eames is an acknowledged authority on matters pertaining to Eliot, and his work will be appreciated by a large number of students and collectors who have known the volume only by report."-New York Times Sat. Review. "The little book contains an excellent introduction by Mr. Wilberforce Eames of the Lenox Library."-American Anthropologist.
Paullin (Charles Oscar). The Navy of the American Revolution. Size 712 x 534, pages 426, frontispiece, cloth, (postage .10) $1.25
A volume of the highest importance dealing with American naval history in a way entirely unlike that used by any previous historian. The work is divided into two periods, the first dealing exclusively with the Continental Navy or the fleets of the federal government, the second with the several State's navies. Two chapters are de- voted to the valuable naval services of Deane. Franklin, Lee and Adams in France. For the first time the duties which devolved upon Washington, Benedict Arnold, the American Commissioners at Paris and the Continental agents at Washington and New Orleans are made clear, as concerned their duty toward the navy. The initial essay considers the Continental Navy under its first and only Commander-in-chief, Esek Hopkins; the celebrated

fight of Jones off Flamborough Head; the bloody en- gagement between the Trumbull and Watt, and the mem- orable cruise of that redoubtalle Irishman, Commodore John Barry, in 1782-1783 are briefly recounted. A critical and exhaustive bibliography is contained in an appendix, also a list of the commissioned officers of the Continental Navy and Marine Corps. The list of Ships supplements and corrects that by Lieut. T. F. Emmons, while the total number of officers' names given is 303 or exactly two hun- dred more than contained in Hamersly, As a concise, accurate and readable volume on the subject, treating of the period covered, this little book cannot be excelled.
