"If any one wants an hour's entertainment for a warm sunny day on the
piazza, or cold wet day by a log fire, this is the book that will
furnish it."--_New York Observer_.

A Truthful Woman in Southern California.
12mo. Cloth, 75 cents.

"Miss Sanborn is certainly a very bright writer, and when a book bears
her name it is safe to buy it and put it aside for delectation when a
leisure hour comes along. This bit of a volume is enticing in every
page, and the weather seemed not to be so intolerably hot while we were
reading it."--_New York Herald_.

"EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ IT."--_The News, Providence_.

The Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson.

By Thomas E. Watson, Author of "The Story of France," "Napoleon," etc.
Illustrated with many Portraits and Views. 8vo. Attractively bound,
$2.50 net; postage, 17 cents additional.

Mr. Watson long since acquired a national reputation in connection with
his political activities in Georgia. He startled the public soon
afterward by the publication of a history of France, which at once
attracted attention quite as marked, though different in kind. His book
became interesting not alone as the production of a Southern man
interested in politics, but as an entirely original conception of a
great theme. There was no question that a life of Jefferson from the
hands of such a writer would command very general attention, and the
publishers had no sooner announced the work as in preparation than
negotiations were begun with the author by two of the best-known
newspapers in America for its publication in serial form. During the
past summer the appearance of the story in this way has created
widespread comment which has now been drawn to the book just published.

"A vastly entertaining polemic. It directs attention to many undoubtedly
neglected facts which writers of the North have ignored or
minimized."--_The New York Times Saturday Review of Books_.

"A noble work. It may well stand on the shelf beside Morley's
'Gladstone' and other epochal biographical works that have come into
prominence. It is deeply interesting and thoroughly fair and
just."--_The Globe-Democrat, St. Louis_.

"The book shows great research and is as complete as it could possibly
be, and every American should read it."--_The News, Providence_.

"A unique historical work."--_The Commercial
