SOME OF D. APPLETON & COMPANY'S FORTHCOMING BOOKS STANDARD AND MISCELLANEOUS. Recollections of the Civil War. By CHARLES A. DANA. With portrait. The late Charles A. Dana's "Recollections of the Civil War" form one of the most remarkable volumes of historical, political, and personal reminiscences which have been given to the public. Mr. Dana was not only practically a member of the Cabinet and in the confidence of the leaders of Washington, but he was also the chosen representative of the War Department with General Grant and other military commanders, and he was present at many of the councils which preceded movements of the greatest importance. Mr. Dana was selected to sit in judgment upon charges of treason, bribery, and fraud, and he was familiar with all the inner workings of the vast machinery which was set in operation by the war. The importance of this unwritten history is obvious. Furthermore, Mr. Dana's own narrative is reinforced by many letters from Grant, Stanton, Sherman, and others, now published for the first time.

Historically, the book is valuable because it gives a comprehensive sketch of a great subject in a brief compass, and, furthermore, the strange and picturesque phases of life which are depicted are full of immediate interest An actual war, now forgotten, for the possession of a cañon in Colorado, is vividly described by the author, who has shared in the work of the railroad men, and who made a special journey through the West to gather fresh material for this valuable and entertaining book.

APPLETON & COMPANY'S FORTHCOMING BOOKS.-Continued. FICTION. A Herald of the West. A Romance of 1812. By J. A. ALTSHELER, author of "A Soldier of Manhattan" and "The Sun of Saratoga." 12mo, cloth, $1.50. The author's brilliant success in this country and in England as a writer of American historical romances will direct especial attention to his new book, which embodies his most ambitious work. He opens with some interesting pictures of social life and political conditions in Washington just before the War of 1812, and later the reader gains an insight into the contemporary life of Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. The passages dealing with the war itself include singularly vivid and dramatic accounts of the capture of Washington by the British, and the battle of New Orleans, both noteworthy contributions to American literature. Another feature of the book is the adroit delimitation of views between the East and the West of that time, and the characterizations of sentiment in New England. The story moves briskly, and it is told with fine spirit and humor. On the social and political as well as the romantic and military sides this novel will be ranked as an important work of fiction and a valuable contribution toward a better knowledge of American life in the past.

He established himself at once in our affections as a unique creature who had something to say and knew how to say it in the most fascinating way. He is a serious story-writer, who sprang into prominence when he first put his pen to paper, and who has ever since kept his work up to the standard of excellence which he first raised in the beginning."-New York Herald.
