Reuben Gold Thwaites

An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole

Mr. Thwaites's Eminence as an authority on all matters connected with the history of the West, and his well-known standing as an Editor and Librarian, will be sufficient assurance of the value of the Travels selected, and of the care with which the series will be edited throughout.
"Students desiring to know the true inwardness of this far-reaching event in American History, must inevitably hereafter turn first to Dr. Doughty's scholarly and well-considered volumes."—American Historical Review.
The Siege of Quebec and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham
By A. Doughty, Litt. D. (Laval), Joint Librarian of the Legislature, Quebec, in collaboration with G. W. Parmelee, D. C. L. , Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction, Quebec
With Plans, Portraits, and Views
THIS is the first ample history of the campaign of 1759, and the most extensive and important monograph that has so far been written on any episode in the annals of New France. But the interest of the subject outstrips all bounds that are merely local. Montcalm's defeat and the English occupation of Quebec were great events in the history of the whole continent. In the world-struggles between England and France they rank even before the battle of Plassey.
A limited edition of 525 sets was printed, of which only 19 remain for sale. Complete in 6 volumes, small quarto, handsomely printed, and bound in blue cloth. Price $50.00, net.
"Indispensable to every future historian of the Seven Years' War in America. . . . The cartography of the campaign has been largely supplemented by Mr. Doughty's discoveries. . . . The mechanical features of these volumes deserve high praise"—New York Evening Post.
"Merits the thanks of all those interested in probably the most ⟨f⟩amous incident of our history"—Sir John Bourinot, K.C.M.G., LL.D., Litt. D.
"A hundred and one writers have treated this well-worn subject, but it has been left for Messrs. Doughty and Parmelee to go over the whole ground and present us with a final and authoritative record.""The most important project ever undertaken in the line of Philippine his⟨t⟩ory in any language, above all the English."—New York Evening Post.

EXPLORATIONS by early Navigators, descriptions of the Islands and their Peoples, their History, and records of the Catholic Missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts, showing the political, economic, commercial, and religious conditions of those Islands from their earliest relations with European Nations to the end of the nineteenth century.
Translated, and edited and annotated by E. H. Blair, and J. A. Robertson, with introduction and additional notes by E. G. Bourne.
With Analytical Index and Illustrations. Limited edition, fifty-five volumes, large 8vo, cloth, uncut, gilt top. Price, $4.00 net per volume.
"The work is second in importance only to the original documents; to the student it ⟨i⟩s even of greater value, since it places before him translations of these historical data which would otherwise be totally inaccessible, and without which no work on the Philippines could be definitive."—American Anthropologist.
"At the present time few subjects are discussed so widely and so ignorantly as matters relating to the Philippines⟨.⟩"—Chicago Chronicle.
"In addition to its value as accurate history, the work is full of interest and of suggestions of thrilling mediæval romance and adventure among strange scenes and wild people."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
