CHILDREN’S STORIES OF AMERICAN PROGRESS.

By Henrietta Christian Wright.

With twelve full-page illustrations from drawings by J. Steeple Davis. One volume, 12mo. $1.50.

“The ‘Stories of American Progress’ contain a series of pictures of events of the first half of the present century, and the scope of the book comprehends all the prominent steps by which we have reached our present position both as regards extent of country and industrial prosperity. They include an account of the first Steamboat, the Railroad, and the Telegraph, as well as of the Purchase of Florida, the War of 1812, and the Discovery of Gold. It will be found that no event of importance has been omitted, and any child fond of story-telling will gain from this book an amount of knowledge which may far exceed that which is usually acquired from the rigid instruction of the school-room.”
