Bill Nye
s
Comic History United States
With 140 Illustrations by Fred Opper
Blll Nye, the great American
humorist, has written the story
of our country in his own way.
He treats fully and accurately
on the progress of civilization in
North America, from the dis
covery by Columbus to the last
decade. All the main facts arc
respected, but Bill treats them in
a humorous manner, with just
enough satire to make it irresist
ably funny, yet all in good taste.
Every reader, old or young, can
get a deal of fun out of this book
while adding to his knowledge d
J There is a solid education in this
book, and it has the advantage of be
ing sugar-coated with fun.
IF. Opper, the celebrated humorous
artist, has added untold value to the
work by 140 illustrations (one of
which, much reduced in size, is re
produced here) that will cause many
a hearty laugh.
350 pages of Rollicking Mirth, Roaring Laughs
and Invigorating Amusement !
Printed on good paper, size 6j4x8j4 inches. Bdund in Library
Cloth, .with attractive stamping and colors. Regular price, , $2.00

volumes which seek to be exhaust
ive, and in so doing they introduce
hundreds of words which not one
person in a hundred is likely ever
to look for. Such a book has its
uses, but it is not adapted to ordinary
family purposes or the convenience
of those who wish to QUICKLY
GAIN INFORMATION, his
for this class that the present work

bodying the scope of words and
terms extensively used among the
English speaking people and which arc likely to be frequently met with in
every-day reading and business use.
J Special attention has been given to recent words not to be found in older
works and throughout the entire construction it has been continuously borne in
mind that the essentials of a good dictionary are COMPREHENSIVENESS,
ACCURANCY, and SIMPLICITY.
J In introducing this up-to-date volume of words, phrases ond terms as used by
representative writers and speakers of the English Language, together with
miscellaneous reference departments covering the important field of Business,
Legal and Social forms adapted to every-day use we trust the public will find
