=A History of American Literature.= By Moses Coit Tyler, Professor of English Literature in the University of Michigan.  Volumes I and II, comprising the period, 1607-1765.  Large 8vo, about 700 pages, handsomely bound in cloth, extra, gilt top, $5.00; half calf, extra, $9 50

The History of American Literature, now offered to the public, is the first attempt ever made to give a systematic and critical account of the literary development of the American people.  It is not a mere cyclopaedia of literature, or a series of detached biographical sketches accompanied by literary extracts:  but an analytic and sustained narrative of our literary history from the earliest English settlement in America down to the present time.  The work is the result of original and independent studies prosecuted by the author for the past ten years, and gives an altogether new analysis of American literary forces and results during nearly three centuries.  The present two volumes—­a complete work in themselves—­cover the whole field of our history during the colonial time.
