Uniform with Dr. Coues' " Pike's Exploration." The matter here presented is entirely new and hitherto unpublished, and supplements and completes this editor's other works.

Dr. Coues says of this work: "No work approaching these journals in the scope, extent, variety, and interest of its contents has appeared since the publication in 1801 of Sir Alexander Mackenzie's memorable voyages, and the present work will undoubtedly take rank with that classic as a veritable mine of accurate information.'

WHAT THE REVIEWERS SAY OF THESE WORKS

$6.00 net

Chas. F. Lummis in the Dial: "By much the most competent and valuable collection of FarWest exploration in the nineteenth century (and in English, of any century)-a complete, rounded, and standard work; a sound staff for historical students as long as there shall be any, and withal eminently readable to the thoughtful layman.'

B. A. Hinsdale in the Dial: "In the Henry and Thompson Journal, Dr. Coues has found another rich store of materials. It is material, too, that he is admirably qualified to handle. No reader who has looked intelligently into the Doctor's splendid editions can doubt his perfect competency to edit any mass of material relating to early Northwestern affairs that, for its eluci dation, demands an extensive knowledge of geography, ethnography, natural history, and of earlier or contemporary exploration and adventure in the same region."

San Francisco Sun Shine Magazine: Dr. Elliott Coues, our foremost authority upon the exploration of the West during this century, keeps piling higher the debt which every American student owes him. These monumental works are indispensable, and in all large essentials, the last word on those important prefatory pages to the winning of the West."

Another Keview: "Dr. Coues has lighted up the pages with inexhaustible learning, and with get more wonderful gems from his treasury of curious information. The work is one to be pread of and one which nothing but pinching poverty should keep from the shelves of collectors of original works on American history."
