MRS. LATIMER'S HISTORIES OF THE

NINETEENTH CENTURY.

The popularity of these histories and the confidence of the public in them are due to the fact that they contain just that recent history that is so hard to find anywhere in condensed form. Following the three histories that have appeared during the past three years, Mrs. Latimer has added a fourth, in which she gives in her attractive and trustworthy way the full story of European exploration, discovery, conquest, and adventure in Africa. The new volume is entitled:

EUROPE IN AFRICA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.

By ELIZABETH WORMELEY LATIMER, author of "France in the Nineteenth Century," etc. Beautifully illustrated with twenty-three full-page half-tone Portraits. 8vo, 456 pages, $2.50.

It comes filled with fascinating historical gossip on matters, some of which are so recent that they seem almost like current news.

The New York Independent, in speaking of Mrs. Latimer's histories, says: "In her the qualities which lead to just comparisons seem to be largely developed. She possesses in an eminent degree the power of calling up the past and setting it side by side with the present."

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "The great world outside is now to hear a great deal more of Africa than ever before, and such a book is timely and abounding in valuable facts."

The Previous Histories by Mrs. Latimer are: FRANCE IN THE 19TH CENTURY

THAT DOME IN AIR.

By JOHN VANCE CHENEY, Librarian of Newberry Library, 12mo, 236 pages, gilt top, $1.25.

A volume of critical essays on the works of Emerson, Lowell, Whittier, Longfellow, Bryant, Whitman, Blake, Cowper, and Wordsworth. These scholarly reviews were delivered from time to time to various audiences, and are now for the first collected and published.

THE CHILD'S GARDEN OF SONG. Selected and arranged by WILLIAM L. TOMLINS, Musical Director of the Apollo Club of Chicago and of the Children's Choruses of the World's Fair. With beautiful colored designs by ELLA RICKETTS. Quarto, $2.00.

"The songs are all such as jingle with the innocent fancy of child hood, and one can picture the little ones crowding around their mother or elder sister as she sits at the piano and plays the accompaniment for their fresh, young voices.”—Commercial Advertiser, New York.

A CHILD OF TUSCANY.

996 My

By MARGUERITE BOUVET, author of "Sweet William," Lady," etc. Illustrated by WILL PHILLIP HOOPER. Small 4to, 207 pages, $1.50.

The Chicago Interior says of this book: "A Child of Tuscany' is likely to have a vogue of no meagre proportions, but if it had Mrs. Frances H. Burnett's name signed to it 'twould sell by the tens of thousands and people would admiringly say how fine, how characteristic it is, how immeasurably better than 'Two Little Pilgrims'—which it is."
