RELATING TO AMERICA, ITS HISTORY, GENERAL AND LOCAL, PARticularly the latter! Lives of Americans, obscure and illustrious, the former always preferred; Books throwing light, or claiming to throw light, on the misty origin and weird, romantic life of the Red Men-their ethnology, their tongues, their stone, metal, and earthen relics of past ages; Genealogy: Criminal Trials; The rude Rhymes illustrating the slow but sure growth of American Poetry; Narratives of Soldiers and Pioneers; and other odd, curious and out-of-the-way things peculiar to America.

GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL MONOGRAPHS.

Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Salisbury, of New Haven, Conn., are printing, "privately," a series of Genealogical and Biographical Monographs on the families of MCCURDY, PARMELEE MITCHELL, LORD, LEE, MARVIN, LYNDE, DIGRY, WILLOUGHBY, GRISWOLD, WOLCOTT, PITKIN, OGDEN, JOHNSON, and DIODATI, with notes on the BOARDMAN, LAY, DE WOLF, DRAKE, SWAYNE, BOND, and DUNBAR families. It is not a mere collection of names and dates, but a book of family-history as well as a genealogical record, full of new facts obtained in this country and abroad; a work of great and ever-increasing interest to present and future generations of these families and their allies; and also valuable to genealogists, and other antiquaries or students of history, generally. The Monographs will fill about 800 pages, in two volumes, 4to; and will be accompanied by 26 full chart-pedigrees, on bond-paper, with authenticated coats of arms and carefully prepared indexes of family-names.

Subscriptions are invited for copies at cost. The edition is 300 copies. There remain 150 for sale at $18 each, bound in beveled boards, cloth, gilt tops, with the pedigrees separately bound. No account is made of the labor or expenditures of the authors.

A few copies of the Chart-Pedigrees, without the text, are offered at $8 for the set.
These prices will be raised when the work is issued.

Mr. Salisbury offers the remainder of the edition of his "Family Memorials" on the families of SALISbury, Aldworth, ELBRIDGE, SEWALL, PYLREN-DUMMER, WALLEY, QUINCY, GOOKIN, WENDELL, BREESE, CHEVALIER, ANDERSON, and PHILLIPS, at $20 a copy; the pedigrees alone at $8; bound as above.

Application for copies may be made to the authors as above. Or to Editor of MAGAZINE OF AMERICAN HISTORY, 743 Broadway, New York City.
