An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole
Almost all the rare originals are unindexed. In the present
reprint series, this immense mass of historical data will be
made accessible through one exhaustive analytical index.
Rarttp of tbe @rilinal. This series comprises only works of permanent
historical value. All are quite scarce, and bring steadily-advancing prices.
Some of them are of exceeding rarity-so rare, in fa&, that they are not to
be found in the largest colletions of Americana in this country. Many are
so hard to find that for several years past, orders placed for them both here
and abroad, without restriction as to price, have not been filled.;fr. CQbtaitte's ltninrt as an authority on all matters conneted with
the history of the West, and his well-known standing as an Editor and Librarian, will be sufficient assurance of the value of the Travels sele&ted, and
of the care with which the series will be edited throughout.
