OT only for its political importance, but for the unusual personal, social, and literary interest of the reminiscences it brings together, Senator Hoar's autobiography will be the most notable contribution of the year to memoir-literature. It would be impossible to find another man in the country who has known more of the important men and measures of his time than Mr. Hoar; and the charm and piquancy of his style, with its range, from the eloquent discussion of his political principles to the humor of his anecdotes are as remarkable as his experiences. The book is refreshingly frank and full of character and individuality - a record of opinions as well

as events.

"ALTOGETHER THE MOST REMARK ABLE WAR BOOK YET PRODUCED" -Savannah (Ga.) Morning New..

From the New York EVENING SUN:
"The tone of the book is genial, magnan
mous, and tolerant; the style unaffected, lumin
ous, and often eloquent. One thinks of John
B. Gordon as a virile and loveable characte
It was a fine thing for a man to bear himself s
worthily in the great war; it was finer to write
about it so sweetly and fairly in the decline of
life-nothing extenuate, nor set down aught
malice.' Every American should read Genera
Gordon's book. He will be a better citize
for it, and it will be a tonic to his patriotism."

This elaborate volume offers, for
the first time, an adequate collec-
tion of the paintings of Mr. Sargent,
particularly of his portraits, of which
there are fifty-four. The plates run as
large as seven by ten inches in size, offering
a sufficient area for the rendering of much of
the technical as well as the general artistic excel-
lence of the originals. The selection includes
many pieces of portraiture celebrated in this coun-
try as well as in England, copies of which have
been beyond the reach, heretofore, of the general
public.

This new one-volume edition places this superb work, formerly published in two volumes at $15, within reach of many to whom it was previously unattainable.

With over 200 illustrations. Bound in leather. Large 8vo, $12.50 net (express additional).

This elaborate and most handsome work, which has been years in preparation, will be recognized at once as the authority in its field. It embodies an historical sketch of much value, full descriptions, and an infallible system of discovering the exact date of any piece of old silver, as well as determining its genuineness. Its treatment of hall-marks is at once simple and complete; the tables can be used successfully by any one. There is a chapter on noted silversmiths, with their portraits. The devices of the unscrupulous dealer are fully entered into, with a description of the methods of forging plate. The illustrations are numerous and elaborate, including six artotypes printed in silver and gold.
