Why grapples Rome, and makes war, having no foes?
Whither turn I now? Thou lead'st me toward th' east,
Where Nile augmenteth the Pelusian sea:
This headless trunk* that lies on Nilus' sand
I know. Now throughout the air I fly
To doubtful Syrtes and dry Afric, where

A Fury leads the Emathian bands. From thence
To the pine-bearing hills; thence to the mounts
Pyrene; and so back to Rome again.

See, impious war defiles the senate-house!
New factions rise. Now through the world again
I go. Oh, Phoebus, show me Neptune's shore,
And other regions! I have seen Philippi.'
This said, being tired with fury, she sunk down.

*The body of Pompeius, murdered by order of Ptolemy the king.

OR, THE PATRIOTS AND STATESMEN OF THE UNITED STATES. Containing the Lives of all the Signers of the Declaration of Independence; the Constitution of the United States, with all the Amendments; the Inaugural and and First Annual Addresses of each of the Presidents, from Washington to Hayes, inclusive; together with the Farewell Addresses of George Washington and General Jackson, with the lives of all the Presidents.

This book is a Catechism of Politics and Statecraft; and without a thorough knowledge of its contents no politician can pretend to discuss affairs of either the States or the Nation. To the patriot it is more than the Catechism,-it is the Bible of his political faith. In it he finds accurately recorded all the heroic actions and wise maxims of the great and good Founders of the Great Republic. Every line of the famous Constitution and its several amendments; the Inaugural Addresses of all the Presidents and their first Annual Addresses;-papers which mapped out the policy intended to be pursued by the writers. No more valuable and instructive state papers were ever written. They are not only pregnant with wise counsels and just deductions, but they are models and examples of powerful reasoning and finished composition.

The Interesting Lives of our Great Presidents are fraught with instructive lessons which every aspiring citizen should mark, learn, and inwardly digest. A seaman might as well attempt to navigate the stormy Atlantic without chart and compass as an American try to sail amid the rocks and quicksands of political life without a thorough knowledge of the teachings of this remarkable book. All American Political History and teachings are compressed into these instructive pages. Even those who possess large libraries will find this & Political Ready-Reference which will save them much trouble and time. Cloth, gilt, 524 pp. 12 mo. Price 75 cents. By mail 15 cents extra.
