The subjects of the different volumes have been planned to cover connecting and, as far as possible, consecutive epochs or periods, so that the set when completed will present in a comprehensive narrative the chief events in the great STORY OF THE NATIONS; but it is, of course, not always practicable to issue the several volumes in their chronological order. The "Stories" are printed in good readable type, and in handsome 12mo form. They are adequately illustrated and furnished with maps and indexes. They are sold separately at a price of $1.50 each. The following volumes are now ready (April, 1890): THE STORY OF GREECE. Prof. JAS. A. HARRISON. " " " ROME. ARTHUR GILMAN. " " " THE JEWS. Prof. JAMES K. HOSMER. " " " CHALDEA. Z. A. RAGOZIN.
