of Florida,
the War of 1812, and the Discovery of Gold. It will be found that no
event of importance has been omitted, and any child fond of
story-telling will gain from this book an amount of knowledge which
may far exceed that which is usually acquired from the rigid
instruction of the school-room."

THE IVORY KING.
A Popular History of the Elephant and Its Allies.
By CHARLES F. HOLDER.
Square 8vo, with twenty-four full-page illustrations. $2.00.
The wonderfully interesting array of facts which Mr. Holder brought
together in his "Marvels of Animal Life" was the fruit very largely
of his personal observations. It forms one of the most stimulating
and delightful contributions to the class of Natural History books
for the young that has ever been made, and was a fitting forerunner
to "The Ivory King," which is devoted entirely to the Elephant, and
has even a more vivid fascination than the first named volume. The
summary of its contents includes the Natural History of the Elephant,
its habits and ways and its intelligence, the Mammoth Three and Four
Tusked Elephants, Hunting and Capturing Wild Elephants, the Elephant
in Captivity, Rogue Elephants, the White Elephant, Trained Elephants,
Show Elephants, Ivory, War Elephants, etc., etc. The numerous
illustrations are especially excellent, being drawn from a great
variety of sources.
It would be hard to name a book which would be a more welcome and
valued addition to the library of the average boy or girl just
beginning to cultivate a love of reading and an interest in the world
around them.
