Bibliography


Dickens, in 1841, traveled in steamboats from Pittsburg to St. Louis. His dyspeptic comments on life and manners in the United States, at the time grated harshly on the ears of our people; but afterward, they grew strong and wise enough to smile at them. The book is to-day, like Mrs. Trollope's, entertaining reading for an American.

States and Canada, in 1845. London, 1846.

A Notable Volume of Americana


EXACT REPRINT OF SECOND ISSUE OF 1698 Father Louis Hennepin's "A New Discovery"


WITH INTRODUCTION, NOTES, AND AN ANALYTICAL INDEX By REUBEN GOLD THWAITES


E VERY collection of Americana should contain at least one of Father Hennepin's famous books. It is believed that " A New Discovery " - especially the second issue of 1698, which has been chosen for reproduction - is the most representa- tive and readable product of his pen. Moreover, it is the only one of the Hennepin books now upon the market. There seems no doubt that this beau- tiful, well-appointed, and well-edited reprint of " Nouvelle Découverte" will at once be accepted as an interesting and valuable addition to American historical sources.


With fac-similes of the title-pages, the seven quaint illustrations, and the two large folding maps in the original edition.


Square 8vo. Two volumes. Uniform with Standard Edition " Lewis and Clark." In box, $6.00 net. Large-paper edition, limited. Two volumes. In box, $25.00 net.

Down Historic Waterways


Six Hundred Miles of Canoeing UPON ILLINOIS AND WISCONSIN RIVERS


By REUBEN GOLD THWAITES


I N addition to being a charming account of a summer vacation trip, this may be considered as a book of his- torical interest or an excellent guide for any one contem- plating a similar inland voyage, according to the point of view of the reader. The course followed by Mr. Thwaites is described with a practical accuracy that makes it of great assistance, but in an engaging style that will appeal to every lover of outdoor life.


A distinct contribution both to history and to the descrip- tion of a particularly interesting region of the Middle West. -The Outlook.


Real pleasure should be expressed at the appearance of this new edition. Mr. Thwaites was a vacation tourist first, but a historian always. - The Review of Reviews.


Whoever has read Stevenson's " Inland Voyage " can ap- preciate the exigencies and delights of a canoe trip under any circumstances, but when it is taken down the historic inland waterways of America, the interest and content is proportion- ately increased. - New York Commercial Advertiser.


New revised edition, with new Preface and eight full- page illustrations from photographs.

A New Historical Volume by Mr. Thwaites


How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest And Other Essays in Western History By REUBEN GOLD THWAITES


H TIS extended researches and his natural sympathy with the subject have brought Mr. Thwaites to a first place among historians of the West. The several authoritative volumes that he has already published are recognized as standard, but in this book he has relaxed somewhat into a more popular vein. The majority of the eight papers contained in the volume were first delivered as lectures, and were later accorded magazine publication. For the present publication they have been radically revised and brought down-to-date, and comprise an excep- tionally interesting collection of papers, covering a wide range of topics under the one general head. The titles of the essays are as follows : How George Rogers Clark Won the Northwest; The Division of the Northwest into States; The Black Hawk War; The Story of Mackinac; The Story of La Pointe; A Day on Braddock's Road; Early Lead Mining on the Upper Mississippi; The Draper Manuscripts.


With Maps and Illustrations. Uniform with " Down His- toric Waterways" and " On the Storied Ohio"
