THE HOLY WAR TO THE READER. ‘Tis strange to me, that they that love to tell Things done of old, yea, and that do excel Their equals in historiology,Speak not of Mansoul’s wars, but let them lie Dead, like old fables, or such worthless things, That to the reader no advantage brings:When men, let them make what they will their own, Till they know this, are to themselves unknown. Of stories, I well know, there’s divers sorts, Some foreign, some domestic; and reports Are thereof made as fancy leads the writers: (By books a man may guess at the inditers....

INTRODUCTION It is believed that the scene of this tale, and most of the information necessary to understand its allusions, are rendered sufficiently obvious to the reader in the text itself, or in the accompanying notes. Still there is so much obscurity in the Indian traditions, and so much confusion in the Indian names, as to render some explanation useful. Few men exhibit greater diversity, or, if we may so express it, greater antithesis of character, than the native warrior of North America....

PERSONAL MEMOIRES OF P. H. SHERIDAN, VOL. I., PART 1. By Philip Henry Sheridan PREFACE When, yielding to the solicitations of my friends, I finally decided to write these Memoirs, the greatest difficulty which confronted me was that of recounting my share in the many notable events of the last three decades, in which I played a part, without entering too fully into the history of these years, and at the same time without giving to my own acts an unmerited prominence....
PERSONAL MEMOIRS OF U. S. GRANT, Part 2. by U. S. Grant CHAPTER XIV. RETURN OF THE ARMY–MARRIAGE–ORDERED TO THE PACIFIC COAST–CROSSING THE ISTHMUS–ARRIVAL AT SAN FRANCISCO. My experience in the Mexican war was of great advantage to me afterwards. Besides the many practical lessons it taught, the war brought nearly all the officers of the regular army together so as to make them personally acquainted. It also brought them in contact with volunteers, many of whom served in the war of the rebellion afterwards....

[Illustration] Voltaire is the bronze and plaster poet of France.

[Illustration: MANTIS, OR WALKING LEAF.] [Illustration: BRANCHED STARFISH.] Castles, cathedrals, and churches, palaces, and parks, and architectural subjects generally, have occupied so many frontispiece pages of our recent numbers, that we have been induced to select the annexed cuts as a pleasant relief to this artificial monotony.

This interesting structure is referred to by a clever writer[1] as one of the richest specimens extant of the highly-ornamented embattled mansions of the time of Henry VII. and VIII., the period of transition from the castle to the palace, and undoubtedly the best aera of English architecture. This judgment will be found confirmed in the writings of distinguished antiquarians; and the reader’s attention to the descriptive details of this building will be important in connexion with several notices, in our recent pages, of old English domestic architecture....

JACK TIER; OR THE FLORIDA REEF. BY THE AUTHOR OF“THE PILOT,” “RED ROVER,” “TWO ADMIRALS,” “WING AND WING,” “MILES WALLINGFORD,” ETC. PREFACE. This work has already appeared in Graham’s Magazine, under the title of “Rose Budd.” The change of name is solely the act of the author, and arises from a conviction that the appellation given in this publication is more appropriate than the one laid aside. The necessity of writing to a name, instead of getting it from the incidents of the book itself, has been the cause of this departure from the ordinary rules....
