bout the
Western country alluded to, but most if not practically all by
outsiders who knew not personally that life of kaleidoscopic
allurement. But ere it shall have vanished forever we are likely to
have truthful, complete, and charming portrayals of it produced by
men who actually knew the life and have the power to describe
it."--Henry Edward Rood, in the Mail and Express.

NOW READY:

THE STORY OF THE INDIAN. By George Bird Grinnell, author of "Pawnee
Hero Stories," "Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"In every way worthy of an author who, as an authority upon the
Western Indians, is second to none. A book full of color, abounding
in observation, and remarkable in sustained interest, it is at the
same time characterized by a grace of style which is rarely to be
looked for in such a work, and which adds not a little to the charm
of it."--London Daily Chronicle.

"Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a
profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian
in thought, feeling, and culture. Only long association with
Indians can enable a white man measurably to comprehend their
thoughts and enter into their feelings. Such association has been
Mr. Grinnell's."--New York Sun.

THE STORY OF THE MINE. By Charles Howard Shinn. Illustrated. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.

"The author has written a book, not alone full of information, but
replete with the true romance of the American mine."--New York
Times.

"Few chapters of recent history are more fascinating than that
which Mr. Shinn has told in 'The Story of the Mine.'"--The
Outlook.

"Both a history and a romance.... Highly interesting, new, and
thrilling."--Philadelphia Inquirer.

foremost of Dutch novelists, it is doubtful if many American
readers knew that there were Dutch novelists. His '
