"_WE HAVE NOTHING AS GOOD._"--N.Y. Independent.

Arthur Gilman's History of the American People.
The publishers embrace the opportunity afforded by the
publication of the SIXTH THOUSAND of this important work to
bring together a few extracts from the large number of
commendatory reviews that it has been favored with. They exhibit
a singular unanimity of opinion.

"On its own ground, and for its clearly defined purpose, _we have
nothing as good_, are not likely to have. It begins a long step back of
the beginning, with Plato's Atlantis, tells the story of Columbus, Cabot
and the other explorers, or the Aborigines, of the French and Spanish
settlements, and so finds its way to the English colonies, the war for
independence, and down through the long history to the recent events of
President Arthur's administration. Considering the general brevity of
the book, it is _marvellously full_; and considering the long story to
be told, crowded with fact and detail; _the graceful style, warm
coloring and general lifelike animation_ of the books is a still greater
marvel.
