Nos. 740 and 742 Broadway.

We are confident there is no more varied or general stock of

Miscellaneous and School Books,

nor one more readily accessible for easy examination to be found in New York; that nowhere else will customers receive more prompt or careful attention or buy on better terms than we are able to offer on our goods.

We hope for a continuance of the liberal patronage which we received in Bond Street, and trust that the greater convenience of our new location, together with our added facilities for serving our customers with efficiency, promptness, and at the lowest prices, will enable us to merit a still greater share of business.

In no political campaign heretofore has the question at issue between the great political parties demanded so high a class of literature. Political science covers a vast field. Too much for any ordinary man to attempt to master. Both parties recognize this, as well as the fact, that upon a proper comprehension of the subject, as presented from their point of view, depends their failure or success. Hence their most able political scientists, their most able thinkers and writers, have been called upon to contribute to the different party text-books. No better guide can be secured, for a perfect and masterly representation of this intricate subject, than either of these works. It will be a future work of reference.

THE TRADE

We have arranged for editions of 200,000 of each, but advance orders indicate a much larger sale. All orders filled in order of receipt. Parties not having an account with us will either remit with order, or give us satisfactory New York references.

THE

Advance-Guard of Western Civilization

By JAMES R. GILMORE (“Edmund Kirke "), author of "The Rear-
Guard of the Revolution," "John Sevier as a Commonwealth-
Builder," etc. With map, and portrait of James Robertson.
cloth, $1.50.

12m0,

CONTENTS: On the Outposts; A Rain of Fire; The Day Dawning; A Raid upon the Creeks; Dark Days upon the Cumberland; The Spanish Complications; The Treason of Wilkinson; A Deceitful Peace; A Storm on the Cumberland; Captivity Among the Chickamaugas; Spanish Machinations; The Chickamauga Expedition; Piomingo; Conclusion.

This work is intended to be a full narrative of an episode which is perhaps the most unique and remarkable in American history-that of the settlement of Middle Tennessee. It is in a measure a continuation of the thrilling story told by the author in his two preceding volumes, "The Rear-Guard of the Revolution" and "John Sevier as a Commonwealth-Builder." The narrative is the result of eight years' careful study of early events in the Southwest, nearly four years of which were passed upon the ground where the events occurred.

The volumes, of which this is the third, cover, says the author in his preface, "a neglected period of American history, and they disclose facts well worthy the attention of historians—namely, that these Western men turned the tide of the American Revolution, and subsequently saved the newly formed Union from disruption, and thereby made possible our present great republic. This should be enough to secure for their story an attentive hearing, had it not the added charm of preseating to view three characters-John Sevier, James Robertson, and Isaac Shelby-who are as worthy of the imitation of our American youth as any in their country's history."
