LAST POEMS OF JAMES RUSSELL

LOWELL.

With an admirable new Portrait, and rubricated titlepage and initials. Printed and bound in careful and artistic style. 12mo, $1.25.

This is one of the most notable books the season will bring, and it is brought out in a style corresponding to its importance. It contains poems not heretofore included in any volume of Mr. Lowell's, and is edited by Professor Charles Eliot Norton. It has a fine new portrait of Mr. Lowell, selected by his family as the best likeness of him. The form and style of the volume harmonize with its literary and memorial character, and are sufficiently decorative to make a beautiful holiday gift.

THE WHITTIER YEAR-BOOK. Passages from the Verse and Prose of JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER. Carefully printed and tastefully bound, with a fine new Portrait of Whittier. 16mo, $1. This is of the same general character as the Holmes Year-book published last year, which has been exceedingly popular.

THE SONG OF HIAWATHA.

By HENRY WAdsworth LongfELLOW. Popular Holiday Edition. With a fine Portrait and 22 full-page Illustrations by FREDERIC REMINGTON. Crown 8vo, $2.00.

This is an artistic but inexpensive edition of a unique poem. Mr. Remington's pictures of Indians and Indian life are not drawn from fancy but from years of study on the plains of the West. The book has a frontispiece portrait of Mr. Longfellow which is regarded as one of the best ever made of him, and which shows how he looked at the time "Hiawatha" was written.

THE WISE WOMAN.

By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, author of "Sweet Clover," "Miss Bagg's Secretary," etc. 16mo, $1.25.

A host of readers will welcome this announcement of a fresh novel from Mrs. Burnham. The leading aim of the story is to discredit and sweep away the artificial conventionalities of society, and to promote a more sincere, untrammelled social life.

THE COMING OF THEODORA. A Novel. By ELIZA ORNE WHITE, author of "Winterborough," "When Molly Was Six," etc. 16mo, $1.25. This story promises to create no little discussion. It deals with but few persons in a half rural neighborhood. The characters are true to life and free from exaggeration; the incidents are natural, and the interest is well sustained. Those who have read "Winterborough " know how skilfully Miss White reports conversations, and with what ease and grace she tells a story.

CLARENCE.

A Novel. By BRET HARTE. 16mo, $1.25.

A spirited novel dealing with the Civil War. President Lincoln figures in the story, which is told with the charm of style characteristic of Mr. Harte.

LITTLE MISS PHOEBE GAY.

BY HELEN DAWES BROWN, author of "The Petrie Estate" and "Two College Girls." With colored cover design and other Illustrations. Square 16mo, $1.00. Miss Brown tells a bright, wholesome story which cannot fail to interest youthful readers, and older people who have not forgotten their childhood. It contains fifteen short stories, each devoted to a special event or feature of the life of Phoebe when she was about ten years old; and is a companion volume to Miss White's charming book, “When Molly Was Six," published last year.

THE VILLAGE WATCH TOWER. By KATE DOUGLAS WIGGIN, author of "The Birds' Christmas Carol," "The Story of Patsy," ""A Cathe

dral Courtship," etc. 16mo, $1.00.

Several short stories, excellent studies of life in a New England village, and, being Mrs. Wiggin's, they are in the highest degree bright, witty, sympathetic, and readable.

ESSAYS IN MINIATURE. By AGNES REPPLIER. New Edition. Enlarged, 16mo, $1.25.

MISS REPPLIER'S BOOKS.

A new uniform Edition of these charming volumes: Books and Men. Points of View.

Essays in Idleness.

In the Dozy Hours.
Essays in Miniature.

Five vols., 16mo, in new binding, $1.25 each; the set, $6.25.

"Her claims to be accounted of the true succession [of essayists]— Augustan, Georgian, Victorian-are incontestable. She has a fine critical faculty, and is mistress of a charming style. She has wit, a fund of good sense, and humor. . . . There is not one of these essays that is not marked by rare sanity of judgment, an invigorating tone, and the inspiring grace of humor."- Saturday Review (London).

TOWNSEND HARRIS, FIRST AMERICAN ENVOY TO JAPAN.

By WILLIAM E. GRIFFIS, author of "Japan: In History, Folk-Lore, and Art," "The Lily Among Thorns," "Brave Little Holland," etc. With Portrait. Crown 8vo, $2.00.

The material of Dr. Griffis's book is of very high historic value, and is new to Americans, Europeans, and Japanese. It omits what may be found in other books which treat of various phases of Japanese life, and gives Mr. Harris's journals which contain matter of unique value; hence this work must always stand as one of peculiar interest.

FRAIL PEOPLE OF THE AIR: Excursions into the World of Butterflies. By SAMUEL H. SCUDDER, author of "The Butterflies of the Eastern United States and Canada," etc. Illustrated. Crown 8vo, $1.50.

Dr. Scudder knows all about butterflies and their life. This book is written in a style which the reader will enjoy, and he will have the satisfaction of knowing that while he is reading a charming book he is following the lead of a thoroughly competent guide in fascinating excursions.

CHRIST'S IDEA OF THE SUPERNATURAL By JOHN H. DENISON, D.D. Crown 8vo, $2.00. Dr. Denison has been engaged for several years on this book, which he offers as a contribution to the solution of problems that challenge attention. These relate to facts of science, psychic phenomena (including hypnotism), and spiritual experiences. The hypothesis which includes all of them he finds in Christ's idea of the supernatural; and his book is not only very well worth reading, but is very readable.

THE MADONNA OF THE TUBS. By ELIZABETH STUART PHELPS. New Popular Edition. Uniform with "The Birds' Christmas Carol." With Illustrations. Square 12mo, 75 cents.

A very attractive and inexpensive edition of one of the most striking and touching stories Miss Phelps has ever written.

Association.

Giving History on All Topics in the Exact Words of the Historians Themselves. Not the opinion of one man, but the thoughts of many men, have been diligently sought out and arranged for the" Ready Reference" of the Reader.

"It supplies what no Encyclopædia known to me can give."- MELLEN CHAMBERLAIN.

"It bids fair to render good historical reading profitable and popular beyond any other work."- E. BENJAMIN ANDREWS.

"Williston Seminary must, all other academies should, have it."-WILLIAM GALLAGHER, Principal.

"It is a most magnificent work in both history and literature. The plan is most ingenious, and its execu

tion most masterful."- HENRY R. PETTENGELL, A.M. "It provides a standard History for the busiest age the world ever saw, and puts under the eye of the busiest man all that is best from the great historians. To

read it is to gain breadth of vision and acquaintance

with the best writers of English. Where the Dictionary

goes this History should go. The two books come

nearer making a complete library than any other two
books in the world."-JOHN H. VINCENT, D.D., LL.D.

The recent revival of interest among American and English readers in the novels and romances of Dumas and Balzac is rapidly extending to their contemporary, the gifted genius who styled herself George Sand. Although no complete edition of her books in English has ever appeared, -their number perhaps precluding it,—many of them have been translated into English and have had a wide circulation. The best of these -the masterpieces of George Sand - are the books here described. With one exception they deal with nature, with country life, with the French peasant; and George Sand's transcendent genius in all these has never been rivalled by any of the authors of her land or time.

Francis Parkman's Life and Uncollected Papers.

THE LIFE OF FRANCIS PARKMAN. By CHARLES H. FARNHAM. To which is added Mr. Parkman's Uncollected Papers. With a portrait, etched by W. H. W. Bicknell; a portrait of the historian in youth photogravured by Goupil from a daguerrotype; and a view of his home. Small 8vo, cloth, $2.50.
