_NOTICES OF THE FIRST EDITION._ "The author has been a careful reader of the science and literature of the day, and has formed generally intelligent opinions upon the great questions of modern thought. He is also scholarly in his use of language."--_Chicago Tribune._ "Mr. Rice's ideas upon matters which he treats appear to us sound and practical; and the modesty with which they are put in his volume will not detract from their value in the minds of sensible persons."--_Boston Times._ "The style is pure, and the thought, if not new, is fresh, and at times presented to the reader in a fine poetic setting. Nature is spoken of as by one who really loves her, and who has seen her face to face, and not through the eyes of another."--_Christian Leader._ "The collection of miscellaneous essays embraced in this volume without any apparent bond of connection are worthy the attention of intelligent readers, from the thoughtfulness of their tone, the sobriety of their judgments, and the naturalness of their style."--_New York Tribune._ For sale by all booksellers.

BY HARVEY RICE. _SECOND EDITION._ PRICE, $1.25. _NOTICES OF THE PRESS._ "The name and character of Hon. Harvey Rice are sufficient guarantee that anything which comes from his hands is worthy of consideration, and it is with this assurance that in this work he has produced something of great historical value, as well as of interest in its style and incident, that we commend the work without hesitation."--_Cleveland Leader._ "The incidents of the book have not only real historic value, but they are of great interest as giving the present generation some idea of the hardships and privations to which the early pioneers of Ohio were subjected."--_Sunday Gazette, Akron, Ohio._ "Mr. Rice tells the story of the early struggles of the early settlers, their haps and mishaps, and gradual development, in a most interesting style."--_The American, Waterbury, Conn._ "It is altogether an instructive and valuable book, and especially interesting to the people of our historic and noble state."--_Christian Secretary, Hartford, Conn._ "There is much that is fresh and interesting in the narrative, and much that helps the making of history, though it does not itself claim to rank as history."--_Boston Journal._ "The reader's interest is sustained by remarkable historic facts, heroic adventures and thrilling incidents, which the author has taken pains to collect from authoritative sources."--_Christian Intelligencer, New York._ "A book on the early settlers of the Western Reserve that will keep one awake, like a novel by Scott or Dickens."--_North American Review._ Sent, postpaid, on receipt of price.
