Green’s Larger History Of The English People. One of the most brilliant and and thoroughly valuable historical works which have appeared in many yearß is Green’s “Larger Hisiory of the English People. ’ Fairly ranking with Macaulay's great work in the absorbing interest of its narrative, it exce's in its adaptation to popular needs, in that it covers the entire period of English history, from the earliest to modern times, instead of a brief portion a§> does Macaulay. It richly deserves a place in the masses, and we are glad to note that it is now placed within their reach, being reduced in price from the §IO.OO for the four volume edition of the Harpers to as low as 50 cents for one edition just being issued by The Useful Knowledge Publishing C0.,16‘A William S ,re* t New York. They are publishing it in several styles, as f. 11 >wa: In live volumes Elzevir edition, Utility binding, 15 cents, cloth 30 cents, half Russia, 40 per volume, ( ik>s tage live to seven cents per volume extra), and a Model octavo edition, in one volume, Utility binding, 50 cents, cloth, 65 cents, half Russia, 80 cent, (by mail 15 cents extra). Numerous other standard works will rapidly follow the publication of this, of whien catalogues will ge sent free on request. This house sells only to buyers direct; no discounts from their wonderfully low prices being possible to Booksellers and Agents. The reading pnblic wish Godspeed to the enterprise, which is under the energetic and skiUfnl guidance of Mr. Alden, late head of The American Book Exchange. The new company sails under the good motto of “Owe no man anything—buy and sell for cash. Gold dollars ask no favors”-nnd Mr. Alden thinks it is therefore free from the danger of wrecking by competing millionair publishers and lawyers.
