FRANCE IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, 1830-1890. By ELIZABETH WORMELEY LATIMER. Profusely illustrated with portraits of celebrated characters. $2.50. In this brilliant and absorbing narrative, history is made as fascinating as fiction. It is safe to say that the rapidly changing and dramatic scenes of French history, from the fall of Napoleon Bonaparte to the fall of Boulanger, have never been mor vividly portrayed. Mrs. Latimer possessed exceptional facilities for acquiring information, and has brought to her task fine sch arship, ripe judgment, and a most engaging literary style. The illustrations are numerous, and lend an additional interest to the work.

A HISTORY OF MODERN PHILOSOPHY

(From the Renaissance to the Present). By B. C. BURT, A.M. 2 vols., crown 8vo, $4.00.

The work is divided into three periods, which are subdivided into groups of authors. A brief biography of each authors given, followed by a list of his principal works and a summary of his philosophy and of his relation to the history of modera thought. The content of his philosophic system and his influence upon succeeding thinkers are then briefly stated, together with the author's own comments and criticisms. The work is alone in the field which it occupies, and is notable for the accuracy of its facts and summaries, and for its perspicuous style.

SOUND

AND MUSIC.
Royal 8vo, $3.50.

By Prof. JOHN A. ZAHM. Profusely illustrated.

། ་་

The service which Professor Zahm has rendered to all intelligent readers, especially to music-lovers, by this delightful, popular, yet rigidly scientific work, cannot fail of immediate and hearty recognition. The reader is taken into the physical laboratories of the most eminent living specialists, where he is permitted to witness their experiments and examine their marvellous mechanica inventions, particularly those of Koenig. The adoption by the author of a colloquial form of address, the lavish use of illustrations, and his own genial personality combine to make his pages doubly attractive.

REFERENCES FOR LITERARY WORKERS.

By HENRY WATSON. Crown 8vo, $3.00.

This is pre-eminently a useful book. Prepared by the librarian of a large university library, the "references" are of that discriminating and practical character which long experience with the wants of students dictates; while the author's digests and summaries of topics, which are fairly encyclopædic in their scope and treatment, show great familiarity with the subjects discussed and remarkable power of clear and condensed statement.

THE ADMIRAL'S LAST VOYAGES.

By CHARLES PAUL MACKIE, author of “With the Admiral of the Ocean Sea." Crown 8vo. (In Press.)

This is one of the most graphic accounts ever written of the later voyages of the discoverer of America. Mr. MacKie writes with the confidence of an authority and the warmth of a champion, but with the impartiality of a judge. The service which he has here done, by sweeping away the swarm of detractions which of late obscured the fair fame of the great Admiral, deserves to be recognized even above the sterling merits of his book.

COUNTERPARTS.

BY ELIZABETH SHEPPARD. With an Introduction and Notes by GEORGE P. UPTON. With portraits. 2 vols., 12mo, gilt tops, $2.50.

This edition of " Counterparts" is issued in the same beautiful style as "Charles Auchester," published last year. Though music plays an important part in "Counterparts," it is still, as its title indicates, a romance of temperaments, an ideal study of contrasting characters, embellished with all those charms of imagination and picturesque descriptions for which this young and gifted idealist and romancer was so famous.

RUMOUR.

By ELIZABETH SHEPPARD. With an Introduction
and Notes by HARRIET PRESCOTT SPOfford.
With portraits. 2 vols., 12mo, gilt tops, $2.50.
"Rumour" was the last of Miss Sheppard's three most pop-
ular romances. Apart from the intrinsic merits of the story, it
derives especial interest from the fact that Beethoven stands as
the model of one of its characters, just as Mendelssohn was por
trayed in "Charles Auchester."

THE COMPLETE ANGLER;

Or, The Contemplative Man's Recreation. By IZAAK
WALTON. With an Introduction and Notes by
EDWARD GILPIN JOHNSON. 16mo. $1.00.
This edition of the "Angler" will be welcomed for its dainty
and appropriate dress, its easily portable size, and, above all, for
the scholarly essay and notes which accompany it.
COUSIN PHILLIS.

By Mrs. GASKELL. Tales
from Foreign Lands. 16mo, gilt top, $1.00.
"Mrs. Gaskell," says George Sand, "has done what neither
I nor other female writers in France can accomplish: she has
written novels which excite the deepest interest in men of the
world, and which every girl will be the better for reading."
"Cousin Phillis" is considered by many to be Mrs. Gaskell's
best piece of work. It is a distinct gain to the notable series to
which it has been added.

A Story of Spanish Love. Translated from the Span- A Story of English Love.
ish of B. PEREZ GALDOZ, by HELEN W. LESTER.
Tales from Foreign Lands. 16mo, gilt top, $1.00.
This famous series of Tales from Foreign Lands receives
a rich acquisition in this exquisitely beautiful and pathetic story
by the great Spanish writer, whose refined fancy and literary
charms half belie his deep insight into human nature and his
profound philosophy of life.

PRINCE TIP TOP.

A Fairy Tale. By MARGUERITE BOUVET, author of "Sweet William" and "Little Marjorie's Love Story." Illustrated by Helen M. ArmstRONG. Small 4to, $1.25.

Miss Bouvet's latest book, "Prince Tip Top," is so utterly unlike either of her earlier ones as to give her readers a genuine surprise. In this volume she has given loose rein to a merry and rollicking humor. It is a jolly and healthy little bit of Opéra Bouffe for children, full of fun and go, with a happy adjustment of fairy machinery. Miss Armstrong has entered thoroughly into the spirit of the story and produced a series of fascinating pictures.

THE CHILDREN'S LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. By M. LOUISE PUTNAM. Illustrated by HELEN M. ARMSTRONG.

12mo, $1.25.

No public man was ever more truly childlike nor more readily understood by children than Abraham Lincoln. The author of this work has rendered a distinct service to the children of America by writing a life of the "Martyred President," and has correctly gauged the power of his simple "English undefiled" to interest her youthful readers by introducing numerous selections from Lincoln's writings.

ECHOES FROM THE SABINE FARM.

Being certain Horatian Lyrics done into English by EUGENE and ROSWELL M. FIELD. With many little picturings by EDMUND H. GARRETT. Limited edition. (In Press.)

To those who know the authors it is needless to say that these translations are quite free from pedantry and mere literalness; and that while some of the lyrics are singularly perfect reproductions of the originals, others are free adaptations to the spirit, the forms, and the speech of to-day. In them the poet boldly interprets the poet.

The personality of the author will charm his legion of friends no less than the fresh and unaffected character of the book itself. HOW DO YOU SPELL IT?

Or, Words as They Look. By W. T. C. HYDE. 12mo, (In Press.)

By an ingenious but exceedingly simple device, the author makes you see the word, both as you ought to spell it, and as you would, in all probability, mis-spell it.

THADDEUS OF WARSAW. By JANE PORTER. Finely printed and bound. 12mo, gilt top, $1.25.

This edition is uniform with that of "The Scottish Chiefs," published last year, which was, according to the Boston Times, "a beautifully bound, faultlessly printed, and thoroughly admirable edition."

SOME RHYMES OF IRONQUILL OF
KANSAS.

187 pages, 12mo, $1.00.

"The Rhymes of Ironquill" are as original as the verses of James Whitcomb Riley. Both the cordial praise of W. D. Howells and the sale in other form of thousands of copies of some of these poems attest their popularity.

ELEUSIS, AND OTHER POEMS. By WILLIAM RUFUS PERKINS. 16m0, $1.00.

"Eleusis" was published anonymously, in a private edition, two years ago, and made a very marked impression in the limited circle where it was known, as disclosing evidence of a new and distinctive force in American poetry. The poem has been revised and somewhat extended, and now appears with the addition of a dozen lesser poems.
