...Spencer, Thomas Huxley and Charles Darwin and his services as an historian and man of letters. The biographer, a life-long friend and associate of Fiske, has written with unusual intimacy and understanding and by his extensive use of Fiske's own lively letters and journals, gives a peculiarly vivid picture, both of Fiske himself, and of the many famous men with whom he was intimate. Fully illustrated. 2 vols. 8vo. Cloth. Published at $8.00. Houghton, Miffin Co. Special Price...
