THE WRITINGS OF JOHN FISKE.

THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA.

With some Account of Ancient America and the Spanish Conquest. With a steel portrait of Mr. Fiske, reproductions of many old maps, several modern maps, facsimiles, and other illustrations. 2 vols. crown 8vo, $4.00.

LARGE-PAPER EDITION. Limited to 250 copies. 4 vols. 8vo, $16.00, net.

This work forms the beginning of Mr. Fiske's history of America. It is, perhaps, the most important single portion yet completed by him, and gives the results of vast research.

THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.

With Plans of Battles, and a new Steel Portrait of Washington, engraved by Willcox from a miniature never before reproduced. 2 vols. crown 8vo, gilt top, $4.00.

The reader may turn to these volumes with full assurance of faith for a fresh rehearsal of the old facts, which no time can stale, and for new views of those old facts, according to the larger framework of ideas in which they can now be set by the master of a captivating style and an expert in historical philosophy.--New York Evening Post.

The freshness and vivid interest of the narrative and the comprehensive generalization which springs naturally from the author's plan of a large work on American history, of which the two volumes now published are no more than a third or a fourth part, make it a book of new and permanent interest.--Springfield Republican.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN THE UNITED STATES

Considered with some Reference to its Origins. With Questions on the Text by Frank A. Hill, and Bibliographical Notes by Mr. Fiske. 12mo, $1.00, net.

If this admirable volume (Fiske's "Civil Government") can be fairly taught to our rising generation, the future, we believe, will show that Mr. Fiske has never done more useful work than in its preparation.--The Congregationalist (Boston).

THE CRITICAL PERIOD OF AMERICAN HISTORY. 1783-1789.

With Map, Notes, etc. Crown 8vo, $2.00.

The author combines in an unusual degree the impartiality of the trained scholar with the fervor of the interested narrator.... The volume should be in every library in the land.--The Congregationalist (Boston).

An admirable book.... Mr. Fiske has a great talent for making history interesting to the general reader.--New York Times.

THE BEGINNINGS OF NEW ENGLAND;

Or, the Puritan Theocracy in its Relations to Civil and Religious Liberty. Crown 8vo, $2.00.

It deals with the early colonial history of New England in the entertaining and vivid style which has marked all of Mr. Fiske's writings on American history, and it is distinguished, like them, by its aggressive patriotism and its justice to all parties in controversy.... The whole book is novel and fresh in treatment, philosophical and wise, and will not be laid down till one has read the last page, and remains impatient for what is still to come.--Boston Post.

THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE.

In Riverside Library for Young People. With Maps. 16mo, 75 cents.

John Fiske's "War of Independence" is a miracle.... A book brilliant and effective beyond measure.... It is a statement that every child can comprehend, but that only a man of consummate genius could have written.--Mrs. CAROLINE H. DALL, in the Springfield Republican.

The story of the Revolution, as Mr. Fiske tells it, is one of surpassing interest. His treatment is a marvel of clearness and comprehensiveness; discarding non-essential details, he selects with a fine historic instinct the main currents of history, traces them with the utmost precision, and tells the whole story in a masterly fashion. His little volume will be a text-book for older quite as much as for young readers.--Christian Union (New York).
