By express, prepaid, $3.^3 WHILE the St. Lawrence River has been the scene of many important events connected with the discovery and development of a large portion of North America, no attempt has here- tofore been made to collect and embody in one volume a complete arid comprehensive narrative of this great waterway. 'This is not denying that considerable has been written relating to it, but the various offer- ings have been scattered through many volumes, and most of these have become inaccessible to the general reader. This work presents in a single volume a succinct and unbroken account of the most important historic in- cidents connected with the river, combined with descriptions of some of its most picturesque scenery and frequent selections from its prolific sources of legends and traditions.

They occur on almost every page, and while the text is always clear, these pictures give, from a single glance, an idea of the vastness of the canyons and their remarkable formation, which it would be beyond the power of pen to describe. And the color reproduction of the water-color draw- ing that Thomas Moran made of the entrance to Bright Angel Trail gives some faint idea of the glories of color which have made the Grand Canyon the wonder and the admiration of the world." — The Cleveland Leader.

Net $3.50 There is no section of pleasant valley-land, of lake- and forest-dotted wilderness, of rushing streams and cul- tivated fields, east of the Mississippi, that surpasses in its wealth of scenery that bit of the Empire State known as the Mohawk Valley. It is natural that such a land should be rich in romance, both legendary and historical.
