_The Leading Facts of American History_. By D. H. MONTGOMERY, author of _The Leading Facts of History Series_. 12mo. Half morocco. xii + 359 pages, besides colored maps and full-page illustrations, with an Appendix of 67 pages. Mailing price, $1.15; for introduction, $1.00. Few text-books have met with such immediate recognition as this. Though published late in the summer of 1890, it was, within a few months, adopted by such cities as Philadelphia, Chicago, Providence, R.I., Burlington, Vt., Lynn, Mass., by counties, and by numberless institutions. It seems to be regarded by the best judges as, on the whole, the best school history of the United States yet published. It was written and not simply compiled. The author did not take it for granted that a history of our country must be a perfunctory work made up from previous histories and merely iterating an old set of facts, ideas, and stories. The book is a panorama of the leading events of our history, with their causes and results clearly traced. Attention has been given to all the departments of American life and activity. It describes the development of the American people. The author's broad and liberal sympathies saved him from sectarian, sectional, or partisan views. The style is full of life, and the words can all be understood by the pupils for whom the book is designed. P. V. N. Myers, _author of General History, etc._: I have read it carefully, and with great interest. It is in every way admirable. George A. Walton, _Agent Mass. State Board of Education_: It is as interesting as romance. It is instructive, especially on matters pertaining to the customs of the people, and to their methods of advancing their welfare. With these excellences, it must prove also a book that will teach. _The Beginner's American History_. By D. H. MONTGOMERY, author of _The Leading Facts of History Series_. 12mo. Cloth. 220 pages. Fully illustrated with new maps and pictures. Mailing price, 70 cents; for introduction, 60 cents. This book tells the story of the nation in thirty biographies of its most representative men. It is entirely free from sectional or other bias, and its beautiful make-up renders it doubly attractive to its young students. (See _Common School Catalogue_.) _The Leading Facts of English History_. By D. H. MONTGOMERY. New edition. Rewritten and enlarged, with Maps and Tables. 12mo. Cloth. 478 pages. Mailing Price, $1.25; Introduction Price, $1.12. The former edition has been rewritten, as it had become evident that a work on the same plan, but more comprehensive, and better suited to prevailing courses and methods of class-work, would be still more heartily welcomed. Important events are treated with greater fulness, and the relation of English History to that of Europe and the world is carefully shown. References for further study are added.
