Brand New, latest edition, down to 1906, beautifully bound in half Morocco At LESS than even DAMAGED SETS were ever sold We will name our price only in direct letters to those sending us the Coupon below. Tear off the Coupon, write name and address plainly, and mail to us now before you forget it. Dr. Ridpath is dead, his work is done, but his family derive an income from his history, and to print our price broadcast , for the sake of more quickly selling these few sets, would cause great injury to future sales Weighs 55 lbs. Ridpath takes you back to the dawn of history, long before the Pyramids of Egypt were built; down through the romantic, troubled times of Chaldea’s grandeur and Assyria’s magnificence; of Babylonia’s wealth and luxury; of Greek and Roman splendor; of Mohammedan culture and refinement; of French elegance and British power; to the rise of the Western world, including the complete history of the United States and all other nations down to the close of the Russia-Japan war. Ridpath’s enviable position as an historian is due to his wonderfully beautiful style, a style no other historian has ever equaled. He pictures the great historical events as though they were happening before your eyes; he carries you with him to see the battles of old; to meet kings and queens and warriors; to sit in the Roman Senate; to march against Saladin and his dark-skinned followers; to sail the southern seas with Drake; to circumnavigate the globe with Magellan; to watch that this line of Greek spearmen work havoc with the Persian hordes on the field of Marathon; to know Napoleon as you know Roosevelt. He combines absorbing interest with supreme reliability, and makes the heroes of history real living men and women, and about them he weaves the rise and fall of empires in such a fascinating style that history becomes as absorbingly interesting as the greatest of fiction. Ridpath’s History is strongly endorsed by Presidents Harrison, Cleveland, and McKinley, Jefferson Davis, Lew Wallace, John L. Stoddard, Bishop Vincent, Dr. Cuyler, Rabbi Hirsch, Presidents of Ann Harbor, Amherst, Brown, Dartmouth, Tufts, Trinity, Bates, Colby, Smith, Vassar, Yale, and other Colleges, and by the Great American People, 200,000 of whom own and love it. Ridpath is generally conceded the Greatest History ever written. $1 Brings the Complete Set. Balance Small Sums Monthly. It is the only general history recognized as an authority.

Image of page “ Yes, do send me a book. . . . Not a bargain book, bought from a haberdasher, but a beautiful book, a book to caress—peculiar, distinctive, individual: A book that hath first caught your eye and then pleased your fancy, written by an author with a tender whim, all right out of his heart. We will read it together in the gloaming, and when the gathering dusk doth blur the page, we’ll sit with hearts too full for speech and think it over.” Dorothy Wordsworth to Coleridge. Such a book is “ANN BOYD” by Will N. Harbin and “THE LIFE OF JACKSON” by Mr. Watson Both begin in this number of Watson’s Jeffersonian Magazine as serials.

The advertising columns of this Magazine will carry into your homes only the announcements of those whom we have reason to believe do a legitimate and honorable business. Almost to the man, our advertisers were prompted to place their contracts with us, not with a single eye to the returns which they hoped to get as a result of using our space, but because they are broadminded men who believe in this Magazine as you do, enthusiastically predicting and welcoming Mr. Watson’s success. They with others, whose advertisements will appear in our next issue, will continue to extend this evidence of their sincerity and thereby guarantee Watson’s Jeffersonian Magazine a financial success if you as our clientele only patronize them to that extent whereby they can carry their advertisement with us without doing so at a total loss. We are careful as to the character of the advertisements which we carry, which necessarily restricts our revenue from this source, so in your appreciation of this fact we ask you as our friends to so far as possible patronize our advertising friends and in doing so, be careful to mention this Magazine so they may know our people and know they are appreciative.
