Thalheimer's Histories.

In compliance with a demand for separate Histories of the Early Eastern Monarchies, of Greece and of Rome, MESSRS. VAN ANTWERP, Bragg & Co. announce an edition of Thalheimer's Manual of Ancient History, in three Parts, viz:

1. THALHEIMER'S HISTORY OF EARLY EASTERN

2.

MONARCHIES,

THALHEIMER'S HISTORY OF GREECE,

3. THALHEIMER'S HISTORY OF ROME.

The First embraces the Pre-classical Period and that of Persian Ascendency.
The Second, fireece and the Mice tenian Emper.

The Third, Rm as Kingdom. R public and Empire.

Each part sufficiently full and comprehensive for the Academic and University Course. Liberally Illustrated with accurate Maps. Large Svo., full cloth.

An Elementary Geology, designed especially for the Interior States, by E. B. ANDREWS, LL. D., of the Ohio Geological Corps, and late Professor of Geology in Marietta College. 12mo., cloth, 283 pp., 432 Illustrations.

The distinctive feature of this work is its lim tation. It is designed for students and readers of the Interior States, and consequently, for such has its chief references to home Geology. By thus limiting the scope of the work, it is believed that a much better book for beginners may be made than if far more were attempted.
