"The old tales of the plantation have never been told as Mr. Harris has told them. Each narrative is to the point, and so swift in its action upon the risibilities of the reader that one almost loses consciousness of the printed page, and fancies it is the voice of the lovable old darky himself that steals across the senses and brings mirth inextinguishable as it comes; ... and Mr. Frost's drawings are so superlatively good, so inexpressibly funny, that they promise to make this the standard edition of a standard book."—New York Tribune."An exquisite volume, full of good illustrations, and if there is anybody in this country who doesn't know Mr. Harris, here is an opportunity to make his acquaintance and have many a good laugh."—New York Herald."There is but one 'Uncle Remus,' and he will never grow old.... It was a happy thought, that of marrying the work of Harris and Frost."—New York Mail and Express."Nobody could possibly have done this work better than Mr. Frost, whose appreciation of negro life fitted him especially to be the interpreter of 'Uncle Remus,' and whose sense of the humor in animal life makes these drawings really illustrations in the fullest sense. Mr. Harris's well-known work has become in a sense a classic, and this may be accepted as the standard edition."—Philadelphia Times."A book which became a classic almost as soon as it was published.... Mr. Frost has never done anything better in the way of illustration, if indeed he has done anything as good."—Boston Advertiser."We pity the reader who has not yet made the acquaintance of 'Uncle Remus' and his charming story.... Mr. Harris has made a real addition to literature purely and strikingly American, and Mr. Frost has aided in fixing the work indelibly on the consciousness of the American reader."—The Churchman."The old fancies of the old negro, dear as they may have been to us these many years, seem to gain new life when they appear through the medium of Mr. Frost's imagination."—New York Home Journal."In his own peculiar field 'Uncle Remus' has no rival. The book has become a classic, but the latest edition is the choice one. It is rarely riven to an author to see his work accompanied by pictures so closely in sympathy with his text."—San Francisco Argonaut."We say it with the utmost faith that there is not an artist who works in illustration that can catch the attitude and expression, the slyness, the innate depravity, the eye of surprise, obstinacy, the hang of the head or the kick of the heels of the mute and the brute creation as Mr. Frost has shown to us here."—Baltimore Sun.

D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
THE STORY OF WASHINGTON.ByElizabeth Eggleston Seelye. Edited by Dr. Edward Eggleston. With over 100 Illustrations by Allegra Eggleston. A new volume in the "Delights of History" Series, uniform with "The Story of Columbus." 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"One of the best accounts of the incidents of Washington's life for young people."—New York Observer."The Washington described is not that of the demigod or hero of the first half of this century, but the man Washington, with his defects as well as his virtues, his unattractive traits as well as his pleasing ones.... There is greater freedom from errors than in more pretentious lives."—Chicago Tribune."The illustrations are numerous, and actually illustrate, including portraits and views, with an occasional map and minor pictures suggestive of the habits and customs of the period. It is altogether an attractive and useful book, and one that should find many readers among American boys and girls."—Philadelphia Times."A good piece of literary work presented in an attractive shape."—New York Tribune."Will be read with interest by young and old. It is told with good taste and accuracy, and if the first President loses some of his mythical goodness in this story, the real greatness of his natural character stands out distinctly, and his example will be all the more helpful to the boys and girls of this generation."—New York Churchman."The book is just what has been needed, the story of the life of Washington, as well as of his public career, written in a manner so interesting that one who begins it will finish, and so told that it will leave not the memory of a few trivial anecdotes by which to measure the man, but a just and complete estimate of him. The illustrations are so excellent as to double the value of the book as it would be without them."—Chicago Times.

THE STORY OF COLUMBUS.ByElizabeth Eggleston Seelye. Edited by Dr. Edward Eggleston. With 100 Illustrations by Allegra Eggleston. "Delights of History" Series. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"A brief, popular, interesting, and yet critical volume, just such as we should wish to place in the hands of a young reader. The authors of this volume have done their best to keep it on a high plane of accuracy and conscientious work without losing sight of their readers."—New York Independent."In some respects altogether the best book that the Columbus year has brought out."—Rochester Post-Express."A simple story told in a natural fashion, and will be found far more interesting than many of the more ambitions works on a similar theme."—New York Journal of Commerce."This is no ordinary work. It is pre-eminently a work of the present time and of the future as well."—Boston Traveller."Mrs. Seelye's book is pleasing in its general effect, and reveals the results of painstaking and conscientious study."—New York Tribune."A very just account is given of Columbus, his failings being neither concealed nor magnified, but his real greatness being made plain."—New York Examiner."The illustrations are particularly well chosen and neatly executed, and they add to the general excellence of the volume."—New York Times.
