PRAISE OF THE PAST.
BY GEORGE PARSON'S LATHROP.
OF ancient days how manifold
The harvests here around us grown !
What fruits we hold, by valiant-souled
And simple farmer-heroes sown !
They, while they learned the bullet's creed
No less in solemn worship kneeled ;
By faith and deed they spread the seed
Of peace and strength in every field ; ā
And ours the rich maturitjj,
While over us, afar and near,
That broad-arched tree, the century,
Spreads wide its branches, each a year !
Ah well, how swiftly things disperse :
In how much changed are place and time !
For poets rehearse their dulcet verse
Where patriot-spurs once clinked in rh)rme ;
The city spreads its ravages ;
The grace of older growth is fled :
Hills bow their knees, prone lie the trees,
Faith, too, they say, is long since dead.
Yet with our fathers we are one
At heart, whatever change betide,
Still shines for us their tireless sun :
Their truth still waits us for our guide.
And we, though larger grows the scope
Of vision, now, toward God and man,
From broader hope gaze back Time's slope
To praise their virtue's narrower plan.
1 1 8 Praise of the Past.
Oh, when our crumbling lives have gone,
Shall others unto us look back
O'er deeps that yawn, and see our dawn
Glow pure behind their devious track ?
Who knows ? We live in veering days.
Yet o'er all fame our deeds may hold.
Fair shines this praise, this record stays : ā
We did not let the Past grow old !

HISTORICAL WORKS.
FAMILIAR LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND HIS WIFE, ABIGAIL
Adams, During THii Revolution ; with a memoir of Mrs. Adams by Charles
Francis Adams. In one volume, crown 8vo, $2.00.
Mrs. Adams's Letters have long been recognized as important contributions to the history of the
period in wliich they were written. Several editions have appeared at intei"vals, and the demand for
a new edition has suggested to the editor that the corresponding letters to her husband should be
added. Many new and interesting letters appear now for the first time.
THE GERMAN ELEMENT IN THE WAR OF AMERICAN INDE-
PENDENCE. By George Washington Greene. In one volume, cr. 8vo, $1.50.
The brilliant and romantic stor>' of Steuben and De Kalb, and the dark disclosures respecting the
German Mercenaries, are presented pointedly and with nervous force in this monograph by an emi-
nent historic scholar.
A HISTORICAL VIEW OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. By
George Washington Greene. In one volume, crown 8vo, cloth, $1.50.
In a small space of 450 octo-duodecimo pages, the accomplished author gives a complete view of
the principles, laws, and development of the contest, with enough of the details' to illustrate their
concrete action, so that the reader who desires to pursue any one of the lines of investigation indi-
cated can do it under the direction of definite ideas. The volume tlius fills a place in our literature
which is occupied by no other work. It is at once a generalized history of the Revolution, and a
stimulating guide to the study of its details. ā Boston J'raiiscript.
THE LIFE OF NATHANAEL GREENE, MAJOR-GENERAL IN THE
Ar.mv of the Revolution. By George Washington Greene. In three

The book combines solid investigation and completeness of materials with cool reasoning and
earnest truth The author's charming simplicity of style is in keeping with the character of
the hero. In our days of steam, telegraphs, and railroads, the Life of (ireene produces the effect of
a classic Plutarchian biography. Let every father give this book to his son. ā NclU York Evening
Post.

The object of this Suggestive Outline of General History is to stimulate the stu-

It is not dry reading, ā chronological bones, denuded of flesh and nerve, ā but general, compre-
hensive, yet concrete views of events grasped according to their degree of relationship. ā Professor
Henry N. Day, of Yale College, in the College Cottrant.

What the Great Writers say of
WORCESTER'S DICTIONARY.
The new and authentic etymologies, the conciseness and completeness of the defi-
nitions, the nicety with which the different shades of meaning in synonymes are dis-
tinguished, and the conscientious accuracy of the work in all its departments, give
it, in my judgment, the highest claims to public favor. ā William Ciillen Bryant.
I concur with the opinion of Mr. Bryant. ā WasJiington Irving.
Worcester's orthography and pronunciation represent, so far as I am aware, the
most api^roved usages of our language. ā Ediuard Everett.
On questions of orthography, I shall make it [Worcester's Dictionary] my stand-
ard. ā George Bancroft.
Worcester's Dictionary has constantly lain on my table for daily use, and Web-
ster's reposed on my shelves for occasional consultation. ā Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The Senate need only go to a simple dictionary ; I will not go to a law book, or
to any work on the law of nations, but I take what I think is THE kest authority,
Worcester's Large Dictionary. ā Hon. Charles Stunner, in the U. S. Senate,
Feb. 21, 1872.
More complete and exact than any of its predecessors. ā ^<?e/. W. Wheiuell, D. D.,
Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, England.
That the public may appreciate your labors for the good cause of " English unde-
filed," and your work be received with the applause it so justly merits, is my sincere
wish. ā Henry W. Longfellow.
I am truly surprised and highly delighted to find that you have succeeded far be-
yond my expectation in making the proper selection [of scientific terms] and com-
bining with it a remarkable degree of accuracy. More could hardly be given except
in a scientific cyclopaedia. ā Louis Agassiz.
It is a most remarkable work of which America will be justly proud, and for which
all who study the English language will long have reason to respect your name and
to be grateful to you. ā Charles Dickens.

OLD LANDMARKS AND HISTORIC PERSONAGES OF BOSTON.
By Samuel Adams Drake. With many Illustrations. $3.00.
There is nothing about old 'Boston worth knowing that may not be found in this
book. Every person of any note, magistrate, Clergyman, lawyer, merchant, mechanic,
every spot of historic ground, every church and burying-ground and public build-
ing and private dwelling of famous memory, every old tavern and stage-house
and their frequenters, every ancient street and lane and wharf and shipyard, finds
place in these pages. All New England will read this book ; for what P'anueil Hall
is to Boston, Boston is to New England. And it will be eagerly sought for by the
sons and daughters of the dear old city, who are scattered up and down the land,
and everywhere through all the world. ā Universalist Quarterly Rcvieiu.
HISTORIC FIELDS AND MANSIONS OF MIDDLESEX.
By Samukl Adams Drake. 8vo. Illustrated with Heliotypes. $5.00.
In dealing with a theme so admirably adapted to his special bent Mr. Drake has
in general discharged his task in a manner to call for high praise. From iirinted
authorities, from fast-perishing tradition, and from jjcrsonal observation, he lias
drawn a great array of interesting details, which ought to be preserved in a perma-
nent and at the same time a popular form ; and he seems to have left no source un-
searched whicli persistent industry could discover. His volume carries the reader
over ground with which every student of our Revolutionary history and every lover
of our contemporaneous literature should be familiar. ā Boston Transcript.
