"HE broad scope and high purpose of this work should commend it to every student of American history.
The volumes are designed, in the words of the General Editor, to provide scholars and other individual readers of history, and the libraries of schools and colleges, with a comprehensive and well-rounded collection of those classical narratives on which the early history of the United States is founded, the ipsissima verba of the first narrators, Argonauts or eyewitnesses, vivacious ex- plorers or captains courageous. The plan furthermore contemplates the publica- tion not of a body of extracts, but, in general, of whole works or distinct parts of works, in the best available translations when the originals were not in English, and from the earliest editions without alteration, or from those having the highest historical value.
The editorial apparatus will be varied and full. The special editors of the individual narratives, who have been selected with great care, will supply intro- ductions, biographical and bibliographical, and such annotations, scholarly but simple, as will enable the intelligent reader to understand and to estimate rightly the statements of the text. The maps will be such as will give real help towards the understanding of the events narrated in the volume. Each volume will have an index.
The volumes will appear at regular intervals and as rapidly as is consistent with the care and authority necessary to be given to so important a project. They are published at a price that will bring them within the reach of all. Sub- scriptions are invited, payable as the volumes are issued. For further information, address the publishers.

HENRY CABOT LODGE, in the North American Review :
"In this volume on 'The Northmen, Columbus, and Cabot,' and as the prospectus indicates, in its successors, the selection could not be improved. Judging from this volume alone, it may also be said that nothing could be better than the editing. We have the best texts accompanied by brief but clear introductions, and explained by notes which are sufficient to guide and instruct and not sufficient to puzzle and encumber. In each case a short list of authorities is given which will direct those who wish to pursue their inquiries upon any one of the three subjects in the way in which they should go, to find all the sources and the last words of modern research and antiquarian learning. The selection and editing could not in fact have been better done for the purpose which the editors had in view."
NEW YORK TRIBUNE: "If the value of the enterprise may be predicated from the volume just published, it is likely to take a high place in the ranks of source publications."

ORIGINAL NARRATIVES OF EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY
THE SPANISH EXPLORERS IN THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES 1528-1543
With Maps and Facsimile Reproductions
Edited by FREDERICK W. HODGE, of the Bureau of American Ethnology, and THEODORE H. LEWIS of St. Paul.
" It is believed that when interest and historical importance are both taken into account, these three narratives stand preeminent among the existing materials of this character which constitute an extensive literature." - Review of Reviews.
" To the excellent collection of Original Narratives of Early American History, edited by Dr. J. Franklin Jameson, a volume has been added of 'Spanish Explorers in the Southern States.' These include the narrative of Cabeza de Vaca and Cas- tañeda's account of Coronado's expedition, both edited by Frederick W. Hodge, and the Gentleman of Elva's narrative of the expedition of De Soto, edited by Theo- dore H. Lewis. All of these have been published recently in easily accessible form, but there is an advantage in having them together, and the typographical beauty of this edition is very attractive."- The New York Sun.
EARLY ENGLISH AND FRENCH VOYAGES CHIEFLY OUT OF HAKLUYT 1534-1607
With Maps and Facsimile Reproductions
Edited by the Rev. Dr. HENRY S. BURRAGE, of the Maine Historical Society.
"The professional position of Dr. Jameson adds significance to the work of which he now appears as General Editor, and which is of first-rate importance on its own account. ... There is a sanity and freedom from controversial bitterness in the editorial portions, which commends the volume warmly to us. The hand of the master is obviously present."- The Independent.
"Not the least valuable feature of these volumes are the copious and accurate notes. The annotations are scholarly and simple, and will enable the intelligent reader to understand and to estimate rightly statements of the text." - Boston Transcript.
" Of the highest value to students of history, placing within easy reach original sources of historical material, which heretofore have been limited to the few who have had access to great libraries." - Minneapolis Journal.

ORIGINAL NARRATIVES OF EARLY AMERICAN HISTORY
VOYAGES OF SAMUEL DE CHAMPLAIN 1604-1618

"The text is modernized, the type being clear and distinct. An excellent index is provided, and the impression made by the volume is distinctly favorable to the value of the series of which it forms a part." - Chicago Evening Post.
.
"Champlain's entire life was devoted to wars, adventure, exploration, and the pioneer task of founding the 'New France' in the New World. And so as a part of the original documents in early American history, these ' Voyages ' make doubly interesting reading." - Chicago Tribune.
