A History of the Battles of the Revolution. By CHARLES CARLETON COFFIN. Profusely Ill.u.s.trated. 8vo, Cloth, $3.00.

It is full of interest from beginning to end, and there are thousands of old boys, and girls too--from one to four score in years--who will read it with all the zest of youngsters. Mr. Coffin is an admirable story-teller for old and young, and understands how to draw a lively picture of the scenes he describes. His book presents a vivid personal and battle history of our Revolution, and it is profusely and strikingly ill.u.s.trated with portraits and scenes on almost every page.--_Lutheran Observer_, Philadelphia.

Is not a book for boys alone, but a well-arranged and carefully prepared history of the War of the Revolution, profusely ill.u.s.trated, with authentic sketches of battle-fields, historic places and buildings, nearly three hundred in all. * * * It is altogether a very attractive book.--_Observer_, N. Y.

It aims at giving a complete, though necessarily brief, view of the War of the Revolution, from the commencement at the battle of Lexington, April 19th, 1775, to the disbanding of the army at Washington's head-quarters, at Newburgh, N. Y., and the subsequent signing, on the 3d of September, 1783, of the treaty at Paris, between the English and American Commission. * * * The facts are carefully arranged, and are well told. All the prominent actors in the war are brought to light, and the exact dates of all the leading events are minutely given; and the whole is written in a spicy and often thrilling style. Conversations are introduced. Characters are happily drawn. The author is most happily fitted for such writing. He will always have the ear and the heart of every boy.--_Christian Instructor_, Philadelphia.

The Story of Liberty.

By CHARLES CARLETON COFFIN. Profusely Ill.u.s.trated. 8vo, Cloth, $3.00.

So long as boys and girls read intelligently such books as this, the country and the world will not swing back into the blackness of darkness. * * * We warmly commend to every household such a book as this.--_Observer_, N. Y.

The author has not confined himself to the English sources of the current which it is his business to trace. That current was largely fed from all over the continent of Europe, and the whole broad field of European history Mr. Coffin may be said to have explored in search of his materials. He has combined these into an orderly, graphic, spirited narrative, with a ready eye for the picturesque points of fact and a skilful handling of the more dramatic situations. * * *

The great events which fill the pregnant period under review are grouped about the central idea of the book with a good sense of proportion.--_Congregationalist_, Boston.

Authentic history put in the most attractive form. * * * Its simplicity, fulness, and purity of style will make it a favorite volume with all who love historical studies. * * * We hope that a book so full of good healthy reading will be placed in the hands of many thousands of the boys and girls of America.--_Lutheran Observer_, Philadelphia.

Mr. Coffin avoids the formality of historical narrative, and presents his material in the shape of personal anecdotes, memorable incidents, and familiar ill.u.s.trations. He reproduces events in a vivid, picturesque narrative.--_New York Tribune._

A most enchanting story for boys. * * * It is a story of adventure, and also contains much interesting and useful information.--_Pittsburgh Telegraph._

A narrative crowded with adventure, told in the lively and graphic style for which the French writers of books for boys are so noted.--_Cleveland Herald._

One of the most attractive books of the season. * * * Spirited sketches of travel and adventure on the ocean wave, among the islands and on southern coasts, fill these chapters. But the main point which gives them their highest flavor is the experience of naval warfare during our late civil conflict.--_Observer_, N. Y.
