the older youths who have a taste
for history.

PARKMAN, FRANCIS: _La Salle and the Northwest_, _The Conspiracy of
Pontiac_, and _Montcalm and Wolfe_ are three histories of a
brilliant series on the French explorations and colonizations in
the Northwest. Parkman is one of our finest historical writers,
and his graphic style has given many a young man a deep interest
in history.

PRESCOTT, WILLIAM HICKLING: _The Conquest of Mexico_ and _The
Conquest of Peru_ are two interesting histories of the longer
type, written in an interesting style that many youths will
enjoy. Prescott's work lies with the Spanish, as Motley's with
the Dutch and Parkman's with the French.
