This edition of Motley's "Complete Historical Works" affords an opportunity to the collector of choice standard works to fill a possible vacancy in his library at a moderate cost. The reader of Motley always returns to the perusal of his writings with a zest which may be compared to the taste of the ripe strawberries in early June. The freshness of his mind never fails to give a flavor to his narrative. His descriptions read less like a recital of the faded past than a vivid picture of living scenes. No historian transports so much of himself into his writings; and though without the faintest trace of egotism, they are always intensely human and individual.—N. Y. Tribune.
