S OF THE PRESS.

"The matter contained in this handsome volume, is as well
calculated to give a correct idea of the character of the
Indians, and their modes of life, as that of any book ever
published. All that gives a charm to romance may be found in
the narrative contained in this work, but all of them possess
the never-failing attractions of truth. The sufferings of
numerous captives are also detailed, together with their
contrivances of escape from their savage captors. The
illustrations, by the well-known W. Croome, are excellent in
design and execution, and the printing and binding of the work
are fine specimens of each art."

GREAT EVENTS IN MODERN HISTORY:

Comprising the MOST REMARKABLE DISCOVERIES, CONQUESTS, REVOLUTIONS,
GREAT BATTLES, and other Thrilling Incidents, chiefly in Europe and
America, from the commencement of the Sixteenth Century to the present
time. Embellished with over 600 Engravings, by W. CROOME, and other
eminent artists. The following are extracts from notices of the press
received by the Publisher.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

"We have here, within the compass of eight hundred pages, the
history of those events of modern history, which have been
'big with mighty consequences,' and with which, therefore, all
men should become acquainted. Beginning with the discovery
of America, by Columbus--that new starting-point of
civilization--the work proceeds through the history of the
various European nations, culling those great periods when,
either by wars or revolutions, each nation began to occupy
a conspicuous place in the general estimation of men, and to
make its influence felt by those without its limits. The
late revolutions in Europe, the Mexican war, and the gold
discoveries in California, are rapidly and vividly sketched.
The illustrations, principally from designs by Croome, are
numerous, well executed, serving to impress the striking
scenes and characters of history upon the tablet of memory.
The whole work, in design and execution, reflects great credit
upon all concerned in its production."
