The Viking Age, by Paul B. Du Chaillu.

The Early History, Manners, and Customs of the Ancestors of the English-speaking Nations. Illustrated from the Antiquities Discovered in Mounds, Cairns, and Bogs, as well as from the Ancient Sagas and Eddas. BY PAUL B. DU CHAILLU, author of " Equatorial Africa," "Land of the Midnight Sun," etc. With 1,400 illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo, $7.50.

FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE.

HE materials used in these volumes, in describing the cosmogony, the mythology, the life, religion, laws, and customs of the ancestors of the English-speaking nations of to-day, are mainly derived from records found in Iceland. These parchments upon which the history of the North is written, and which are begrimed by the smoke of the Icelandic cabin, and worn by the centuries that have passed over them, recount to us the history and the glorious deeds of the race. No land has bequeathed to us a literature giving so minute and comprehensive an account of the life of a people. The testimony of archæology, as corroborating the Sagas, forms one of the most important links in the chain of my argument; parchments and written records form but a portion of the material from which I have derived my account of the "Viking Age." During the last fifty years the History of the Northmen has been unearthed, as it were-like that of the Egyptians, Assyrians, and Romans-by the discovery of almost every kind of implement, weapon, and ornament produced by that accomplished race.

"One turns regretfully from a work so rich in material, so profound in research. The whole life of a great people is revealed, their arts, their customs, and their creeds. We see in their institutions germs of our own, and trace the line of our development. Their greatness inspires us and their heroic qualities win our admiration. Nothing so important as this work has appeared for some time. It is destined to heave up old traditions and to compel men to new views of the history and development of civilization in Europe."-New York Commercial Advertiser.

"In these two volumes we see the ancient Norseman in his habit as he lived-in peace and war-at home and in his incursions into far distant lands. We follow him from the cradle to the grave. We learn to know him even to the hair, eyes, face, and limbs. We meet him in his dwelling place and in his convivial halls-in his temples engaged in sacrifices and sacred ceremonies-at his athletic games and at his festivals and betrothal and marriage feasts. The work is certain to attract great attention."-Philadelphia Times.

"Mr. Du Chaillu's work does him credit for its comprehensiveness and the labor which he has bestowed upon it. The present volumes are edited with an excellent judgment as regards illustrations. The books are a museum of old Northern antiquities, giving the outside and inside of grave mounds, the various adornments of the ancient peoples who were there buried, the war-horns, ships, and clothes of the dead, even the highly decorated carriages upon which, it is supposed, their idols were drawn in triumph."-New York Times.

The American Railway: Its Construction, Development, Management, and Appliances.

A

With 225 Illustrations. Large 8vo, $6.00, net.

N EXTRACT FROM JUDGE COOLEY'S INTRODUCTION :-With all these facts and many others to create a public interest in the general subject, the editor of Scribner's Magazine, some little time ago, applied to writers of well-known ability and competency to prepare papers for publication therein upon the various topics of principal interest in the life and use of railroads, beginning with the construction and embracing the salient facts of management and service. He was successful in securing a series of papers of high value, the appearance of which has been welcomed from month to month, beginning with June, 1888, with constant and increasing interest. These papers have a permanent value and in obedience to a demand for their separate publication in convenient form for frequent reference, the publishers now reproduce them with expansions and additions. A reference to the several titles will convince any one at all familiar with the general subject that the particular topic is treated in every instance by an expert, entitled as such to speak with authority.

Aspects of the Earth.

By N. S. SHALER, S. D., Professor of Geology at Harvard. With 100 Illustrations. 8vo, $4.00. FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE:-"The book is intended to give the general reader a comprehensible account of some of the more interesting series of actions which affect the surface of the earth. For this purpose subjects have been selected which from their nature commend themselves to the attention of intelligent people. In treating these subjects an effort has been made to show the relations of natural forces to the fortunes of man, and thereby to secure on the part of the reader the interest which belongs to matters which affect human welfare alone.

"In most popular works on science there is an effort to meet this need by diagrams which at best convey to the mind unfamiliar with the matter an imperfect idea of the facts. It will be observed that all the illustrations in this volume, except in cases where diagramatic presentation was imperatively required, are taken from photographs which have been admirably rendered by skillful engravers. In this manner the student has a more faithful presentation of the phenomena before him than is given in any other work of a popular character which is known to me."

Among Cannibals.

An Account of Four Years' Travels in Australia and of Camp Life with the Aborigines of
Queensland. By CARL LUMHOLTZ, M.A. Fully Illustrated. 8vo, $5.00.

FROM THE AUTHOR'S PREFACE:-"I lived alone among a race of people whose cul-
ture-if indeed they can be said to have any culture whatever-must be characterized as the lowest
to be found among the whole genus homo sapiens. Not only are many of the Australian aborigines
cannibals, but most of the tribes have not yet emerged from the stone age in the history of their
development. The greater part of the volume now offered to the public is devoted to descriptions
of my life in the camps of the northern savages in different districts. It has been my purpose to
present a faithful picture, based on my own observations, of the life, manners, and customs of the Austral-
ian aborigines from their birth and infancy to their old age and death; and thus to rescue, for the science
of ethnography, facts concerning tribes that have never before come into contact with white men, and
that within a generation or two will have disappeared from the face of the earth."

Cyclopedia of Music and Musicians, Second Volume.

Edited by J. D. CHAMPLIN, JR. Critical Editor, W. F. APTHORP. With over 1,000 Illustrations, including 36 Full-page Etched Portraits. 3 vols., 4to, Decorated Parchment Binding. This Edition Limited to 500 Numbered Sets for this Country and 50 for Europe. $25.00 per Volume, net.

"The portraits which accompany all these biographical notices constitute an extremely valuable feature of the work. There is one on the average to every page-more than a thousand in all; and besides these there are in the two volumes twenty-four full-paged etched portraits of the great masters. Moreover, there are autographs, fac-similes of famous compositions, views of birthplaces, medals, monuments, caricatures-everything in short that an edition de luxe ought to have. In the three features enumerated-the numerous portraits, the very complete biographic list, and the combining Riemann's Opera Lexicon' with the ordinary dictionary-the Encyclopedia is unique."-The Nation.
