THE STORY OF THE REVOLUTION

By HENRY CABOT LODGE

With nearly 200 illustrations by Pyle, Yohn, Chapman, De Thulstrup, Clark, Peixotto, and others. 2 vols, large 8vo, $6.00. "Senator Lodge's book is the most important contribution to American Revolutionary history since the work of John Fiske. It is dignified in tone, but full of the spirit of '76, and permeated throughout by a patriotism which has no uncertain note. In his hands the familiar story of the Revolution reads like a new page in American history, and its presentation is so real and so vital that it will be a long-lived and influential book."- New York Observer.

THE CUBAN AND PORTO RICAN CAMPAIGNS

By RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. With 117 illustrations from photographs and drawings by eye witnesses, and with 4 maps. Crown 8vo, pp. 364, $1.50.

The remarkable graphic and picturesque quality in Mr. Davis's narrative of the principal events in the recent war in Cuba and Porto Rico gives this book a unique distinction. The fact that he was an eye-witness of the battles which he describes so vividly makes his record of the campaign as valuable historically as it is entertaining in a personal and pictorial way.

"Mr. Davis's articles on the war have been characterized by clearness, directness, and high intelligence."— New York Times.

OUR NAVY IN THE WAR WITH SPAIN

By JOHN R. SPEARS. With 125 illustrations from photographs, and with charts and diagrams. 12mo, pp. 432, $2.00. Mr. Spears's book tells the story in detail and with great spirit of the naval battles, beginning with Manila Bay and ending with the destruction of Cervera's fleet, his narrative presenting a complete and vivid record of the splendid deeds of the American navy in our war with Spain. The story is one to stir the blood of every patriot.

COMMERCIAL CUBA

A Book for Business Men. By WILLIAM J. CLARK. With 8 maps, 7 plans of cities, and 40 full-page illustrations, and a Commercial Directory of the Island of Cuba. Large 8vo, $4.00.

"Commercial Cuba,' by William J. Clark, which the Scribners have just published, is a thoroughly good and useful book. We should not know where to find within another pair of covers so much and so carefully sifted information bearing on this subject. With the necessary warnings against pinning too implicit faith to statistics drawn from Spanish sources, which notoriously make of statistics one of the most inexact of sciences, the tables of debt and revenue and trade and production which Mr. Clark has compiled may be studied with real profit. His painstaking account of the railway and telegraph systems; of highways and harbors; of rivers and water supplies, and lighthouses; of sugar and tobacco-growing; and his detailed description of each province and of every city of any size, together with a 'business directory for the whole island makes his book one of great value for reference as well as for practical guidance. In the present situation of Cuban affairs it should command a wide sale. Its accuracy is certainly of a high order."- New York Evening Post.

RED ROCK. A Chronicle of Reconstruction

By THOMAS NELSON PAGE. Illustrated by B. WEST CLINEDINST. 12mo, $1.50. "The foremost place among American novels of the season must be given to Mr. Page's 'Red Rock.'"- The Outlook. "This is an intensely interesting novel, and a historical study of high value."- New York Times.

REMBRANDT. A Romance of Holland

By WALTER CRANSTON LARNED. With 8 full-page illustrations. 12mo, $1.50.

Mr. Larned's novel is of surpassing dramatic interest, the central figures being the great Dutch painter and the famous men and women of his day. The ingenuity of the plot, the dramatic sweep of the narrative, and the art with which the portraits are painted, lift the book to a high level.

MISS AMERICA

Pen and Camera Sketches of the American Girl. By ALEXANDER BLACK. With 75 illustrations from photographs by the author. 8vo, $2.50.

The very diverse activities of the American Girl supply Mr. Black with an entertaining theme, upon which he philosophizes with shrewdness and humor. Accompanying these comments is a series of photographs of typical American girls that form an unusually piquant and varied group of illustrations.

THE WORKERS -THE WEST

By WALTER A. WYCKOFF. Illustrated by W. R. LEIGH. "No book of the year has done so much to widen human sympathies as 'The Workers.' that has yet been given of the lives of the American working people."- The Outlook.

12mo, $1.50.

The two volumes present the best picture

BISMARCK'S

AUTOBIOGRAPHY

BISMARCK, the Man and the Statesman: Being the Reflections and Reminiscences of OTTO, PRINCE VON BISMARCK. Written and Dictated by Himself after His Retirement from Office. Translated from the German under the Supervision of A. J. Butler, late Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.

Two Volumes. Uncut Edges and Gilt Tops. 8vo, Cloth, $7.50. An International Event of Importance

The Gedanken und Erinnerungen of Prince Bismarck was written and prepared by himself. It will be, therefore, the only authoritative biography of the Iron Chancellor, who stamped his personality upon the politics of Europe for more than half a century during the most important years of Central European history. These Reminiscences constitute not alone the autobiography of a great statesman, but the most important contribution to historical literature in the last quarter of a century. The publication of these Memoirs is an international

event of importance.

The book is remarkably full as regards internal affairs, and especially as regards influences which prevailed at the Berlin Court, as to the characters both of the Kings of Prussia and the other men with whom Bismarck was brought in contact, and it contains a minute criticism on the working of the Prussian and the German Constitutions. The first impression we take away from the book is that it is an honest book. He is not trying to mislead future historians; he is not trying, like Napoleon, to maintain for fresh generations the glamor which he had thrown over the eyes of his contemporaries. He does not attempt to make himself appear wiser than he was or to have foreseen at the time what afterwards occurred.- London Daily Chronicle.

In his reflections and reminiscences Prince Bismarck presents himself in the more familiar garb of polite society, with the polished manners of a man of the world, keeping his tongue under control, a great and commanding figure self-centred but self-restrained, a courtier and a statesman, filling not unworthily with his gigantic personality the worldstage on which he moves.- London Times.
