PART II
THE CYCLOPÆDIA OF BIOGRAPHY
A RECORD OF THE LIVES OF EMINENT MEN
By PARKE GODWIN.
New edition, revised and continued to August, 1877. Octavo, containing
1200 pages, cloth, $5.00; half morocco, $7.50.
The Publishers claim for this work that it presents an admirable
combination of compactness and comprehensiveness. The previous editions
have recommended themselves to the public favor, as well for the
fulness of their lists of essential names, as for the accuracy of the
material given. The present edition will, it is believed, be found
still more satisfactory as to these points, and possesses for American
readers the special advantage over similar English works, in the full
proportion of space given to eminent American names.
=FROTHINGHAM= (OCTAVIUS BROOKS) =The Life of Gerrit Smith=. With
portrait on Steel, and other illustrations. Octavo, cloth extra, (_In
Press._)
The life of one who was an earnest philanthropist, a devoted worker in
the anti-slavery cause, and a clear-headed man of business, who had an
active and important part to play in the history and development of his
native State, and in the reform movements of the whole country. The
volume is of moderate compass, and presents in an artistic narrative
the story of a life of unique character and value.
=MAZADE= (CHARLES de) =The Life of Count Cavour=. Translated by GEO.
MEREDITH. Octavo, cloth extra, $3 00
The life of Cavour is the record of the founding of the Kingdom of
Italy, or rather of the forming of the Italian Nation. The biographer
has brought to this work a hearty appreciation of and admiration for
his subject, a full knowledge of the history of the time, and a terse,
epigrammatic style; and the translation has been performed with taste
and accuracy. The volume is alike indispensable to the student of
modern history, and fascinating to the general reader.
=PROCTOR= (RICHARD A.) =The Myths and Marvels of Astronomy=. Octavo,
cloth. $4 00
