'Jhis magazine concerns itself with the history of every state 'n the Union, and

in- style, bright and attractive, and it is a standard authority on all historic matters.
The press j^raise it without stint.

ability." — T/ie Congregationalist, Boston.

country at large."— AVtw York Evangelist.

historic knowledge." — Freewason' s Repository'.

front of magazine literature, and a chief leader of public
sentiment in .-affairs concerning American history."
— Toledo Contiacrcial.

people of New England, their manners, customs, and mode of living in bygone days."
From the late Col. Joseph L. Chester, LL.D., D.C.L., of London, England.
"Tome the work, of which I possess a complete set, is invaluable. I consult it
constantly, not only for matters relating directly to Americans, but also in reference to
English families of the seventeenth century, concerning whom these volumes contain a
vast amount of information not to be found elsewhere. There are no books in my library'
that I would not sooner part with than my set of the Rf.gistkr."
