"Mr. Parkman's painstaking research has earned him a permanent place in the front rank of American writers of history, while the brilliancy of the style in which his thought is clothed imparts a charm to his narrative unsurpassed by that of Prescott or Motley."-The Nation.

"Parkman is the most American of all our historians because he deals with purely American history, but at the same time he is a historian for all mankind and all time, one of the greatest that ever lived." -DR. JOHN FISKE. "If people only knew how far superior in real interest as well as in intellectual influence Parkman's narratives are to the sensational novel they would lay the sensational novel aside."

-PROFESSOR GOLDWIN SMITH.
