ALASKA: Its Southern Coast. And the Sitkan Archipelago. By Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.50. In this well-written and exceedingly interesting volume the author opens up to us a country which notwithstanding so much has been said of it, is yet very imperfectly known. Although it is nine times as large as New England, and twice as large as Texas, it is the popular impression that it is all a barren, inhospitable region, wrapped in snow and ice the greater part of the year, and that a visitor to its settlements must undergo perils almost equal to those of the Greely relief expedition. Miss Scidmore in her book dispels this illusion in the most summary manner. She spent two summers in Alaska, and therefore speaks from personal knowledge. She tells us that the winters at Sitka are milder than those in New York, while the summers are delightfully cool and temperate. Some of the grandest scenery of the continent is to be found along the Alaska coast, in the region of the Alexander or Sitkan Archipelago, and the monthly mail steamer is crowded with tourists during the summer season. It is one of the easiest and most delightful trips to go up the coast by the inside passage and cruise through the archipelago; and in voyaging past the unbroken wilderness of the island shores, the tourist feels quite like an explorer penetrating unknown lands. The mountain range that walls the Pacific coast from the Antarctic to the Arctic gives a bold and broken front to the mainland, and every one of the eleven hundred islands of the archipelago is but a submerged spur or peak of the great range. Many of the islands are larger than Massachusetts or New Jersey, but none of them have been wholly explored, nor is the survey of their shores completed. The Yosemite walls and cascades are repeated in mile after mile of deep salt water channels, and from the deck of an ocean steamer one views scenes not paralleled after long rides and climbs in the heart of the Sierras. The gorges and cañons of Colorado are surpassed; mountains that tower above Pike's Peak rise in steep incline from the still level of the sea; and the shores are clad in forests and undergrowth dense and impassable as the tangle of a Florida swamp.
On her first visit to Sitka the author spent a week at Victoria, Vancouver's Island, a place which she describes as a veritable paradise. The drives about the town, she says, along the island shores, and through the woods, are beautiful, and the heavy, London-built carriages roll over hard and perfect English highways. Ferns were growing ten and twelve feet high by the roadside. Wild rose-bushes are matted together by the acre in the clearings about the town, and in June they weight the air with their perfume, as they did a century ago, when Marchand, the old French voyager, compared the region to the rose-covered slopes of Bulgaria. The honeysuckle attains the greatest perfection in this climate, and covers and smothers the cottages and trellises with thickly-set blossoms. Even the currant-bushes grow to unusual height, and in many gardens they are trained on arbors and hang their red, ripe clusters high overhead.
The old Russian town of Sitka, the most northern on the Pacific coast, she describes as a straggling, peaceful sort of town, edging along shore at the foot of high mountains, and sheltered from the surge and turmoil of the ocean by a sea-wall of rocky, pine-covered islands. The moss has grown greener and thicker on the roofs of the solid old wooden houses that are relics of Russian days, the paint has worn thinner everywhere, and a few more houses tumbling into ruins complete the scenes of picturesque decay. Twenty years ago there were one hundred and twenty-five buildings in the town proper, and it is doubtful if a dozen have been erected since.
Miss Scidmore's descriptions of the various places she visited and the curious things she saw are vivid and picturesque, and one can learn more of both from her pages than from all the official reports that have been published. It is a book that ought to have a wide popularity. It is well illustrated and contains a map reduced from the last general chart of Alaska published by the Coast Survey.
BOY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY. By a Naval Officer. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.25. It is difficult to write a book of boy's adventures without falling into what is popularly called sensational writing, that is the description of improbable incidents to arouse and excite the imagination without any purpose beyond that result. The writer of the present volume, while making an intensely interesting story, has avoided this danger, and his narrative gives a not overdrawn description of the life of a boy on a vessel in the United States Navy. Joe Bently is the son of a Maine farmer, with a strong distaste for the life to which he has been brought up and an equally strong love for the sea. His desire to become a sailor has always been repressed by his father, who, though loving his son, has no sympathy with him in this one respect.
Mr. Bently at last gives his consent, and Joe enlists as an apprentice in the Navy. The story of his journey, his examination, his experiences, on board ship and his adventures while lying in foreign ports is very graphically told, and the boy who reads it gets a clear and actual idea of what a boy must go through on board a man-of-war before he can graduate as an "able-bodied seaman." The writer shows a thorough acquaintance with every thing on board ship, even to the minutest details. The book ends with the promotion of Joe, and a promise to continue his adventures in another volume.
THE EVOLUTION OF DODD. By W.H. Smith. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. Here is a book we should rejoice to see in the hands of every teacher of youth in the country. It is a living, breathing protest against certain features of the present school systems which obtain in various parts of the country, from that of the kindergarten to the grammar school. The points of the author are so well taken, that the reader is forced not only to admit the reality of the evils he denounces, but to acknowledge the justice of the conclusions at which he arrives.
In the evolution of character the public school has come to be a most important factor. To it has been assigned a task equal to any other agency that deals with human nature. But in multitudes of cases it has become a mere mill for grinding out graduates. The "system" has largely lost sight of the grandest thing in all the world--the individual soul. It addresses itself to child-humanity collectively, as if characters were manufactured, like pins, by the million, and all alike, and it attempts to grind out this great mass, each individual like every other, as if its members could be made interchangeable like the parts of a government musket.
To illustrate his ideas, the author selects a representative boy, Dodd Weaver, the eldest son of a Methodist clergyman, and carries him through the various schools and grades of schools from the time of his entrance to his graduation. He does not make him a model boy to begin with, and strive to show how he was spoiled by the school system. On the contrary he endows him with a good many disagreeable qualities; he makes him bright, sharp, and full of vitality, with a strong bent for mischief. He is high-tempered, quarrelsome, and disobedient, and yet in the hands of one who understands his mental peculiarities plastic as dough. It is the aim of the author to show how utterly useless it is to treat such boys--and our schools are full of them--in exactly the same manner as those of different character and temperament, and to demand that teachers have the right to adapt their methods according to individual demands. He says:
It is not a system--any set of rules or formularies--that can make our school, any more than it is forms and ceremonies that make our churches. These may all be well enough in their proper places, but there is nothing, absolutely nothing, in them, _per se_. It is the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees in the one case, and the dry bones of pedagogy in the other.
The evil arises, in the schools as in the churches, from believing and acting as if there were something in the system itself.
If human nature were a fixed quantity, if any two children were alike, or anywhere nearly alike, if a certain act done for a child always brought forth the same result, then it might be possible to form an absolute system of pedagogy, as, with fixed elements, there is formed the science of chemistry. But the quick atoms of spirit that manifest their affinities under the eye of that alchemist, the teacher, are far more subtle than the elements that go into the crucible in any other of Nature's laboratories.
A chemist will distil for you the odor of a blown rose, or catch and hold captive the breath of the morning meadow, and do it always just the same, and ever with like results; but there is no art by which anything analogous can be wrought in human life. Here a new element comes in that entirely changes that economy of Nature in this regard. The individuality of every human soul is this new factor, and because of it, of its infinite variability--because no two atoms that are cast into the crucible of life are ever the same, or can be wrought into character by the same means--because of this, no fixed rules can ever be laid down for evolving a definite result, in the realm of soul, by never-varying means.
And this is where many teachers are at fault. They put their faith in a system, a mill through which all children shall be run, and in passing through which each child shall receive the same treatment, and from which they shall all emerge, stamped with the seal of the institution, "uniformity."
This is the prime idea that lies at the foundation of the popular system of education--to make children uniform. This very thing that God and Nature have set themselves against--no two faces, or forms, or statures; no two minds, or hearts, or souls being alike, as designed by the Creator, and as fashioned by Nature's hand--to make all these alike was the aim of the system under which Dodd began to be evolved, and with which he began to clash at once.
But it is not the system only which is at fault. Hot with the indignation bred from a discussion of its shortcomings, the author turns suddenly upon the parents of the innumerable Dodds in the schools of the country:
And for you, who send your six-year-olds to school with a single hook, and grumble because you have to buy even so much of an outfit, what are you going to do about it when your boy drains all the life out of the little volume in a couple of weeks or a month? He knows the stories by heart, and after that he says them over, day by day, because he must, and not in the least because he cares to.
What are you going to do about this? It is largely your business. You cannot shirk it and say that you send the boy to school, and it is the teacher's business to take care of him.
The remedy for the wrongs and faults of the system is, in his opinion, to recognize the individuality of children in the schoolroom to study the mental peculiarities and needs of each, and to do away with the system so far as it interferes with the liberty of the teacher to adapt his means to the proper ends to be attained. It is demanded that teachers be selected on the sole ground of fitness and adaptability, and not because of favoritism or the mere fact that their book education is sufficient, and it is further insisted that parents interest themselves to see and demand that the best that can be done is done for their children. These are the means suggested in the way of reform, and they seem adequate in a large degree to accomplish what is desired. We commend the book to teachers and parents.
MONEY IN POLITICS. By J.K. Upton. With an introduction by Edward Atkinson. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. The author of this comprehensive and valuable work was for several years Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury, and in that responsible position had admirable facilities for studying the question of money as affected by congressional acts from the earliest history of the republic down to the present, and he has made good use of his opportunities in this book which is a succinct narration of the numerous changes made in American money beginning with the continental issues, in fact, earlier, the colonial money. The work is, therefore, a history of American coin and the numerous issues of paper that served as money. To the student there is in this book a fund of information extremely interesting, particularly at this time when the popular will is likely to compel farther legislation. A topic of present interest, is the silver dollar, to which the author devotes a chapter historical in its character, and another chapter concerning circulation of this coin. In the former chapter he begins with the Spanish milled dollar, "the Mexican pillar piece," which was the first silver dollar known in American commerce, and had, in colonial times, 386.7-8 grains of pure silver. In 1785 the American standard was fixed at 375.64 grains of pure silver which became the unit of account, the standard dollar. In 1792, after a Congress of the States was organized, the standard dollar was required to contain 371.25 grains of pure silver, or, with the admixture of baser metal, the standard of silver coin 416 grains, the pure silver rated by itself as before. These facts are of interest as showing the origin of the American dollar recognized as the standard down to 1873.
The chapters on "Circulation of the Silver Dollar" and "The Trade Dollar" are interesting and timely, inasmuch as the questions considered are now before Congress, or at least with the committees, and legislation of some kind will be demanded within the next year. There is, even now, a proposition embodied in a bill to suspend coinage of the silver dollar, because it has been found impossible to put the great sum coined directly in circulation. A great part of it has been made the basis of silver certificates, a kind of currency that, by and by, will bring distress to commercial interests if the issues are maintained, or if they are materially increased. Mr. Upton treats all these matters with very clear understanding of every question, and with certain facility of expression that appeals directly to the reader who has only common understanding of money affairs. From beginning to end the book is a rich mine of facts, of historical matter, and of statements that have undergone the scrutiny of the wisest financier during the critical period between the appreciation of values, with the disturbing influences of war, and the return of true values with resumption of specie payment which was effected with gold. While the work must have absorbing interest for that extended school of economists that has made finance a special study in the past dozen years, it will prove very useful to representatives in Congress, who may find here in compact form facts of history with which they should have familiar acquaintance before they attempt legislation intended to correct the errors incorporated in our money system.
THE OLD STONE HOUSE. By Anne March (Constance Fenimore Woolson). Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.50. This capital story, by one of the brightest American writers of fiction, has been placed by the publishers in their Young Folks' Library Series, where it ought to find a new lease of popularity. The Old Stone House is the home of five young people, representing three families. They are all orphans, and are living with a widowed aunt, whose single and constant aim is to educate them into real men and women. The young cousins, who dearly love each other, differ in tastes and temperament, but not in such ways as to interfere with each other's enjoyments. The younger ones are jolly and fun-loving, and no occasion for having a good time is left unimproved. The main interest of the story, however, lies with the eldest of the cousins, Sybil Warrington, a girl of strong feelings but quiet exterior, whose ambition to shine in society is held in check by a feeling that something higher and better is required of her. The story of her struggles is quietly but effectively told, and will have a peculiar interest for young girls. Miss Woolson has written much, and her work has given her a very enviable reputation both in this country and in Europe, but in all her writings there is nothing more earnest.
HOW SUCCESS IS WON. By Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton. With Portraits. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. This handsome volume is made up of biographies of twelve men who have achieved distinguished successes in the various directions in which they turned their respective energies. Mrs. Bolton not only rehearses the main incidents of their lives, but shows that in every case the success and honors attained were the result of industry, economy and high moral principle. Among those selected to illustrate how success may be won under different circumstances are Peter Cooper, John B. Gough, John G. Whittier, Henry M. Stanley and Alexander H. Stephens. The several sketches are bright and pointed, and the portraits which illustrate them add to their value.
The Rochester (N.Y.) _Herald_ speaks of this extremely interesting book as "a singular collection of names, wide apart in many respects, but they represent men whom it is interesting to read about."
ANNA MARIA'S HOUSEKEEPING. By Mrs. S.D. Power. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. If we were asked to recommend any one single book to a young housekeeper which should serve as a domestic guide, counsellor and friend, we should unhesitatingly name _Anna Maria's Housekeeping_. So far as our knowledge extends, there is no other book which so exactly and thoroughly fulfils the needs implied in those titles. It is no mere collection of receipts, but a complete and common-sense treatise on the whole science of housekeeping, tersely and clearly written, with a flavor of experience about it that makes one accept it as authoritative. It is a staff upon which the young housekeeper may confidently lean, and by the aid of which she may overcome obstacles which without it would seem insurmountable. Mrs. Power does not believe in a house keeping itself. It requires continual care and oversight, and a clear knowledge of what is to be done. She believes, too, that a house can be well kept as easily as badly kept, and that a bright, clean, well-ordered home has a deal to do with molding the temper and even character of its members. "It is no small thing," she says, "to stand at the head of affairs, and be the motive power on which depend the welfare and credit, the health, temper and spirit of the whole family. When in midlife you come to find how essential the comfort of a well-kept home is to the bodily strength and good conditions, to a sound mind and spirit, and useful days, you will reverence the good housekeeper as I do, above poet or artist, beauty or genius." In the opening chapter of the book the author instructs Anna Maria in the art of "How to Make Home-work Easier." In the succeeding chapters she takes up the various kinds of work there is to be done about the house, and describes the easiest methods of doing it. "No attitudinizing," she remarks, "no fine lady affectations over the griddles and saucepans; instead, cultivate the fine character which acts up to the need of the hour swiftly, promptly, but with quiet and certainty." Her definition of "good food" is to the point. "It is not," she says, "rich food, nor even the tolerable fare which is just undercooked and flavorless enough to tax digestion more than it ought. It is the best of everything cooked in the nicest possible way, and with pleasant variety." Passing from the kitchen the care of the different rooms of the house is taken up--the chambers, the sitting-room and the storeroom; instructions are given for making "blue Monday" less blue; the arts of starching and ironing are discussed; and a chapter is given to the mending and darning basket. Other portions of the book are devoted to "Company Days," "Shopping," "Sickness in the House," "Making the best of Things," and "Helps that are Helps," the servant-girl question forming the subject of the closing chapter. The volume is very handsomely brought out, but even were it not, it would be worth its weight in gold to the young and inexperienced housekeeper.
GERTRUDE'S DIARY. By Pansy. Illustrated. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price 60 cts. A new book by Pansy is always hailed with delight, and that delight generally mingled with wonder can possibly write so much and yet keep the freshness and brightness which runs through all her books. Gertrude is a girl of fifteen, wide awake, full of life, generally good tempered, and yet with as many faults as most girls of her age have; faults which arise more from thoughtlessness than from intent. She is one of four who agree to keep diaries, in accordance with a suggestion made by their Sunday-school teacher, and she records with impartiality all her good and bad times, her trials and her triumphs. Aside from its interest, it contains suggestions which cannot fail to make an impression upon the mind of any young girl who reads it, and to strengthen her in like temptations and under the same conditions. A pleasant story runs through the diary.
MANY COLORED THREADS. From the Writings of Goethe. Selected by Carrie Adelaide Cooke. With an Introduction by Kev. Alexander McKenzie, D.D. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. No other volume of the Spare Minute Series contains more real meat than this. Goethe was epigrammatic, and his ideas took the concentrated form of bullets, instead of scattering like shot. We doubt if there is another author, always excepting Shakespeare, from whose books so many noble and complete thoughts can be extracted. In the two hundred and fifty pages of this volume are more than a thousand of these gems, each worth; its setting. Dr. McKenzie says aptly of Goethe that he is able by virtue of his own genius to set more than the common man and to put his visions and his reflections in such form that others who would never have seen the tilings for themselves or been able to think deeply upon them, can have the benefit of his generous study and thought. He was many-sided. His mind took a wide range and seemed almost equally at home in many places. The real and the ideal both interested him and were cherished by him. Science and art, philosophy and poetry, engaged his attention and were enriched by his handiwork. In this versatility of his power and the manifoldness of their application he was remarkable. Out of this breadth of study came varied and large thoughts of the world and of human life. He had the faculties with which nature and humanity and divine power could breathe their inspiration for the world's instruction and delight, and that they were fully employed no-one who turns over the pages of this collection can doubt. A brief biography of Goethe takes the place of a preface, and there is an index of subjects.

MR. CHARLES LANMAN THE AUTHOR OF "THE LEADING MEN OF JAPAN."
MARY COLE BAKER writes in the Washington (D.C.) _Republic:_ "Mr. Lanman is well known both in England and America as the writer of some of the most delightful descriptive books in the English language. To the facile wielding of his pen he adds an equally adroit and skilful use of the pencil, and his admirable results in these combined pursuits won for him from his friend and brother of the quill, Washington Irving, the apt and deserved soubriquet of 'the picturesque explorer of America.' To the pleasure which Mr. Lanman derived from these pursuits he added a sportsman's love for the field and took genuine delight in the 'contemplative art' of angling. He was the first American to cast the artificial fly in the Saguenay region and to describe for the angler the charms of that since famous locality. He has followed this sport in nearly every State in the Union, never without his sketching materials, which he used unstintingly. The results of these labors are many hundreds of sketches of American scenery, invaluable now that the march of civilization has so completely changed the face of a large part of the country. It is delightful to find a man who has been able to get so much good from life as has Mr. Lanman. One would think that the writing and illustrating of more than thirty books, some of which are in two large octavo volumes, was the work of a lifetime. But this has been to Mr. Lanman his recreation. The fact that his books have been successful pecuniarily has not prevented him from following the duties of the various governmental positions in which he has been placed. No sinecures they either--librarian at different times of the House of Representatives, the War Department, of copyrights in the State Department and of the Interior Department, secretary to Daniel Webster, at the head of the returns of office of the Interior Department, and for the last ten years the American Secretary to the Japanese Legation at Washington. A lover of social intercourse, Mr. Lanman has led the typical busy life of the American, untouched by the direful and disastrous ills it is supposed to bring. He is now engaged in editing fourteen of his books for reproduction in uniform style, and a new book, _The Leading Men of Japan_, is ready for issue." 12mo, $1.50. Boston: D. Lothrop, & Co., Publishers.

COULDN'T BE BOUGHT: AND OTHER STORIES. By Faye Huntington. Illustrated. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price 75 cts. A delightful collection of short stories for boys and girls, adapted to the Sunday-school library. The volume takes its name from the leading story. The author has a pleasant and attractive style, and her stories have a large amount of "telling" force in them.
CHINA. By Prof. R.K. Douglas, of the British Museum. Edited by Arthur Gilman, M.A. Illustrated. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.50. This volume comes just at a time when there is a strong demand for something brief, exact and authoritative in the way of Chinese history. Current events have brought China before the world as one of the really great powers, and one which in time will be able not only to defend herself against the aggressions of other nations but will be perfectly able to take the offensive should occasion require. In the arts of diplomacy the Chinese are a match for the keenest statesman of Europe, and since the beginning of the present troubles with France they have developed a military talent which is perfectly surprising. With the growth of the military spirit it would not be strange if, in the course of the next generation China should hold as distinct and important a place among the warlike powers as France or England.
The author of the volume before us had exceptional advantages for making such a book as just now the public demand and need. He was for several years a resident of China in an official capacity, and studied the people and their mode of life from actual observation. In preparing the book he also freely availed himself of the labors of others where they seemed capable of adding value to the narrative. In his preface he acknowledges his indebtedness to Doctor Legge's "Chinese Classics," Archdeacon Gray's work on "China," Doolittle's "Social Life of the Chinese," Denys's "Chinese Folklore," Mayers's "Chinese Reader's Manual," Sir John Davis's "Poetry of the Chinese," as well as to the important linguistic, religious and topographical writings of Doctor Edkins of Peking, and particularly to the late Professor S. Wells Williams, of Yale College, whose work on the _Middle Kingdom_ contains more information of value than any other single volume in our language.
The various chapters of the work deal with the history of the empire in brief, its government, religions, its educational system, the nurture of the young, superstitions, funeral and wedding rites, the language, food and dress, honors, architecture, music, medicine and other subjects. It has been critically read by the young Chinese scholar, Mr. Yan Phou Lee, of Yale College, who has suggested a few notes. Its completeness is added to by an analytic table of contents and an index.
IN THE WOODS AND OUT. By Pansy. Illustrated. Boston: D. Lothrop & Co. Price $1.00. In the score or more of short stories which make up this volume Pansy is at her best. She never writes for the mere sake of filling up, but always, in the briefest of her sketches, she has something worth telling and worth remembering. There isn't a thing in the book which will not be read twice, and certain of the stones will be perennial favorites with the younger class of readers.

PHILOSOPHIÆ QUÆSTOR.
The seeker of philosophical truth, which is described as the shadowy figure of a young girl, is, throughout, very expressive of desire and appreciation. The impressions she receives are those to which such a condition are most sensitive--the higher and more refined ones--and the responsive thoughts concern the nature and character of what is heard or felt. The elevation into classic importance of Concord, its philosophers, and its School of Philosophy is due to the influence of their history and teachings in American literature, and it is pleasant to recognize in this work such reverence of their classicism. Mrs. Anagnos has written a prose poem in which the last two sessions of the Concord School of Philosophy, which include that in memory of Emerson, and its lecturers excite her feeling and inspire her thought. It is sung in lofty strains that resemble those of the sacred woods and fount, and themselves are communicative of their spirit. It will be welcomed as an appropriate souvenir.--_Boston Globe_.

OUR NATIONAL FINANCES.
Mr. J.K. Upton used to be Assistant Secretary of the Treasury of the United States. Few men, therefore, have had better opportunities to inform themselves about our national finances. His volume, _Money in Politics_, published by D. Lothrop & Co., price $1.25, is a full history of the financial policy and legislation of this country. It is of the utmost value as a record, a book of reference, and an expression of sound theories. The intelligent reader cannot repress a feeling of shame that our national history in respect to finance should have been characterized by such continual bungling. The saddest feature in the case is the crass ignorance which Congress usually has displayed. Much of our legislation about money matters has been the merest experimenting, if not worse than this--the deliberate effort to enrich some one class of business men at the expense of the nation.
He utters a solemn warning of the dangers to which we now are exposed through our present acts of coinage and legal tender, whereby our gold coin sooner or later must be driven from the country and our standard must become a silver dollar of light weight and uncertain value. He also shows conclusively the futility of legislation in causing two substances to become and remain of the same value. Mr. Edward Atkinson has furnished the introduction to the book, in which he commends it warmly. While Congress continues to permit the coinage of $2,000,000 in silver a month, for which there is no demand and the coinage of which merely furnishes a market for the wares of a few owners of silver mines, it is difficult to overstate the need that such books as this should be circulated and studied attentively throughout the nation. Mr. Atkinson makes an impressive comment, which we quote:
"The productions of the hen-yards of the United States, according to the census statistics, was, in 1879, 456,910,916 dozen eggs, and, if hens have now increased in the ratio of population, it is now 500,000,000 dozen, which at only ten cents a dozen, would exceed the value of the products of the silver mines.
"It would be vastly more reasonable for Congress to order the compulsory purchase of two million dollars' worth of eggs per month," in order to sustain the hen products of the United States, "than it is to buy two million dollars' worth of silver; because the eggs could be used, or else would rot, while the silver cannot be used, and is expensive to store and to watch (pp. xvi-xvii)."--_Congregationalist_.
* * * * *
ILLITERACY AND MORMONISM.
Of _Illiteracy and Mormonism_, a brochure from the pen of Doctor Henry Randall Waite, just published by D. Lothrop & Co., the _Boston Daily Transcript_ in an advance notice, says:
"In view of the present great interest in the problems treated, and the value of the material which it offers as an aid to their solution, the book is especially timely. Doctor Waite, who was for some time editor of the _International Review_, and whose work is well-known to readers of the standard American periodicals, is one of the clearest-headed of our younger writers on politico-economic subjects, and his views as here set forth demand thoughtful consideration and respect. He brings to the treatment of the subjects included in the title the special knowledge gained in his important official position as statistician of the late census, in charge of some of the most important branches, including education, illiteracy and religious organizations."
The Dover (N.H.) _Star_, says:
"He makes the best argument for the Constitutionality of National Aid [to education] which we have yet seen. It will bear careful consideration by members of Congress."
The _Boston Daily Herald_ refers to the author's views as follows:
"One of the most original and valuable contributions yet made to the discussion of the project of extending federal aid to common school education in the States ... The moderation of its tone and the conservatism of its suggestions will commend it to all thoughtful students of this problem, while its statistics, many of which, in their arrangement and application, are substantially new, should have a direct influence in shaping the final action of Congress ... Mr. Waite has given long and careful study to this subject in all its bearings, and he writes with an equipment of information and reflection which has been palpably lacking in much of the Senatorial discussion of it."
* * * * *
ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
The _New York Independent_, after referring to the various books on Arctic explorations and adventure--the narratives of Kane and Hayes and Gilder and De Long--says of Dr. Nourse's work: "The field of Arctic authorship was not yet, however, covered by any of these works, and it is to the credit of Professor Nourse that he saw what remained to be done. In the work before us he comes into no competition with the literary workers who have preceded him. No one will be the less disposed to read Dr. Kane's chapters, or to peruse Mr. Gilder's, for having read Professor Nourse; nor, on the other hand, will these works prejudice Professor Nourse's chance to be read. His book stands on ground of its own, as the one complete and competent survey of what American explorers have done in the polar zones.... Professor Nourse's volume is embellished with numerous good illustrations, and provided with an excellent and indispensable circumpolar map. It deserves the successful sale we understand it is already receiving."
The _Literary World_ in a review of the book says "it is an encyclopaedic review of the whole subject of American enterprise in Arctic seas," and adds: "Professor Nourse's book bears the credentials of accuracy and authority, is well printed and bound, has numerous engravings and useful maps, including some portraits on steel, has a suitable index and table of contents, and furthermore is provided with a bibliography of chief publications on Arctic research since 1818. In every respect, then, it is a well-made book, a solid contribution to popular reading."

BACCALAUREATE SERMONS.
D. Lothrop & Co., of Boston, have published in book form nineteen baccalaureate sermons preached at Harvard College, by Dr. A.P. Peabody, the new Professor of Christian Morals. Dr. Peabody's reputation, as a vigorous thinker and manly preacher, is as wide as this Republic; and the volume of sermons before us is something more than a series of homilies. It is a collection of addresses to young men--students just ready to embark on the perilous sea of life--which may be profitably read by every citizen of our country. The preacher does not address himself to any single side of human life. He counsels the students in their duties as men in all the relations of life. And in the selection of themes he embraces a great variety of topics. In the discourse on "Hebrew, Latin and Greek," for example, he takes the first-named tongue as standing for religion, the second for beauty and the third for strength. On this triad be formulates not only an intellectual cult but a practical rule of life. Another notable sermon is on "The Sovereignty of Law," an admirable disquisition on the supremacy of law in the intellectual life, the physical existence, the domain of morals and in every department of human activity. Dr. Peabody's style is forcible and virile, and his compactness of statement, enables him to put "infinite riches in a little room."--_Chicago Tribune._

A BOY'S WORKSHOP.
Every boy with a jack-knife in his pocket and his head full of plans will fall to with delight on anything that gives him plenty to do in the boyish line. This is the merit of a little manual just published by the Messrs. D. Lothrop & Co., _A Boy's Workshop, with Plans and Designs for Indoor and Outdoor Work_, by a "Boy and his Friends"; with an introduction by Henry Randall Waite. The little manual goes to work intelligibly, describing the shop, and the tools, giving hints and accurate directions how to make a great variety of things whose uses will be at once apparent to the boyish mind, and suggestions as to other mysteries, the key to which makes any boy who possesses it a king among his mates.
* * * * *
HOW SUCCESS IS WON.
"How Success is Won," by Sarah K. Bolton (D. Lothrop & Co.), is a collection of twelve brief biographies intended to make clear to the young the character and conduct that have resulted in the success of Peter Cooper, John B. Gough, John G. Whittier, John Wanamaker, Henry M. Stanley, Johns Hopkins, William M. Hunt, Elias Howe, Jr., Alexander H. Stephens, Thomas A. Edison, Dr. W.T.G. Morton and the Rev. John H. Vincent. The sketches are gracefully and interestingly written, and the little volume is in every way to be commended.--_N.Y. Com. Adv._
* * * * *
THE GRAY MASQUE.
The Gray Masque of Mrs. Mary Barker Dodge (D. Lothrop & Co., Boston) has won a series of splendid notices; yet, so far as we know, sufficient stress has not been laid upon the keynote of the volume. _Love_, in its varying phases, sounds through the majority of the verses like the refrain of a song. Sometimes sad, sometimes solemn, oftener gay and hopeful, the differing themes take up, one after another, the burden of the initial poem; and answer, in separate ways, the question there propounded, until the many-sided revelation is found to be fittingly illustrated on the cover by the winged boy, who throws aside the masque of mortality, and, soaring aloft, leaves behind him every earthly doubt and care. The "Dedication" and the concluding poem, the first emotional in its simplicity, the last intellectual in its subtlety, mark the breadth as well as the limits of Mrs. Dodge's poetical expression.--_Baldwin's Monthly._

MARGARET SIDNEY'S BOOKS.
The brightness and versatility of this charming writer are well shown in the following stories which cover a wide range, and are attractive to all ages, from wide awake schoolboys and eager schoolgirls to thoughtful readers of maturer years. As a delineator of character, especially that of the New England type, she has few superiors, and her pictures of child life are especially pleasing.

By Rev. E.E. Hale and Miss Susan Hale.
Fresh, piquant, graphic, full of delicate humor, marked by grace in diction and thorough scholarship, these books are not only unsurpassed, but unequalled by any books of similar character. They treat of the interesting features of the various countries named, including history, geography, natural scenery, popular characteristics and customs, and much else that will prove of real interest and value to the reader.

D. LOTHROP & COMPANY'S BULLETIN OF NEW BOOKS.
History of China.
By Robert K. Douglass. 12MO, CLOTH, ILLUSTRATED, $1.50.
Until this book appeared, a thoroughly good one-volume history of the "Walled Kingdom" for popular use, was not to be had. There have been many works upon China and the Chinese, but of these few have attempted to summarize the history of that great empire and its citizens in a single comprehensive work, and none have done so with such success as to meet the popular need. In this volume we have an authentic, scholarly and most interesting summary of Chinese history from the earliest period to the present time. In addition to the careful editing of Mr. Arthur Gilman, the book has had the advantage of the critical abilities of the young Chinese scholar, Mr. Yan Phou Lee, of Yale College. The volume is richly illustrated with appropriate engravings, and will rank among standard books.
Southern Alaska and the Sitkan Archipelago.
By Eliza Ruhama Scidmore. FULLY ILLUSTRATED, 12MO, CLOTH, $1.50.
No book yet published bears any comparison with this volume in respect of valuable and authentic information relating to the history, geography, topography, climate, natural scenery, inhabitants, and rich resources of this wonderful _terra incognita_. The author, who is a writer of well-known reputation, has had exceptional opportunities for the preparation of her attractive work, having visited the regions described, at different periods, under most favorable circumstances, and having had access to the government documents relating to the history and surveys of Alaska, aside from the kindly assistance of the experts and scientists best acquainted with that marvellous region. Her book has all of the interest of a delightfully written story of adventures in a comparatively unknown region, and with the additional value which it possesses as the only approach thus far made to trustworthy treatise upon the history and resources of Alaska it will commend itself to all persons interested in that country, either as students or _voyageurs_.
Many Colored Threads.
Selections from the writings of Goethe, edited by Carrie Adelaide Cook. EXTRA CLOTH, $1.00.
Those familiar with the writings of the great German author, and those who know little of them, will be alike interested in this collection of "best thoughts." Eloquence, pathos, romance, philosophy--a wide range of sentiment and feeling, characteristic of the life of Goethe--are revealed in these selections. The book is a worthy companion to the six preceding volumes of the widely-circulated "Spare Minute Series"--_Thoughts that Breathe_, Dean Stanley; _Cheerful Words_, George MacDonald; _The Might of Right_, Gladstone; _True Manliness_, Thos. Hughes; _Living Truths_, Charles Kingsley; _Right to the Point_, Dr. Cuyler.
Wide Awake, Volume I.
PLAIN CLOTH BINDING, $1.75; EXTRA BINDING, COVERS STAMPED IN COLORS AND GOLD, $2.25.
Including Charles Egbert Craddock's serial story "Down the Ravine," with other serials by famous authors, and nearly three hundred original illustrations by celebrated artists.
=======================================================================
Baccalaureate Sermons. By Rev. A.B. Peabody, D.D.LL.D. 12MO, $1.25.
The sermons contained in this volume, delivered before the graduating classes of Harvard University, it is safe to say are not excelled by any productions of their kind. They are not only rarely appropriate, as discourses addressed to educated young men upon the threshold of active life, but are models of logical thought, and graceful rhetoric worthy the study of all ministers.
Interrupted. By Pansy (Mrs. G.R. Alden). EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.50.
It has all the charm of this most popular author's fascinating style, grown riper each year, and possessing more of the peculiar power by which she adapts herself to her varied audience. More than a hundred thousand of Pansy's books are sold every year.
Within the Shadow. By Dorothy Holroyd. 12MO, CLOTH, $1.25.
"The most successful book of the year." "The plot is ingenious, yet not improbable, the character drawing strong and vigorous, the story throughout one of brilliancy and power." "The book cannot help making a sensation."--_Boston Transcript._ "The author is an original and vigorous writer, and at once takes rank with the best writers of American fiction."--_Toledo Journal._ "A story of such brilliancy and power as to at once entitle its author to recognition as a writer of high ability."--_Journal Press_, St. Cloud. "The author has skill in invention with the purest sentiment and good natural style."--_Boston Globe._
How Success is Won. (Little Biographies. Third Series.) By Sarah K. Bolton. PRICE, $1.
This is the best of the recent books of this popular class of biography; all its "successful men" are Americans, and with two or three exceptions they are living and in the full tide of business and power. In each case, the facts have been furnished to the author by the subject of the biography, or by family friends; and Mrs. Bolton has chosen from this authentic material those incidents which most fully illustrate the successive steps, and the ruling principles, by which success has been gained. A portrait accompanies each biography.
In Case of Accident. By Dr. D.A. Sargent. ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, 60 CENTS.
This little handbook is worth its weight in gold, and should be found on the most convenient shelf of every family library. The author is connected with the Harvard College Gymnasium, and the contents of the volume are made up of practical talks delivered before the ladies' class of the Gymnasium. His aim is to give such practical information as will aid to self-preservation in times of danger, and to teach a few of the simplest methods of meeting the common accidents and emergencies of life. The illustrations are numerous and excellent.
The Arnold Birthday Book. Edited by his Daughters. $1.25.
With an autograph introductory poem by Edwin Arnold, and choice quotations from his poems for every day. The many admirers of the "Light of Asia" will gladly welcome this graceful souvenir of the author, which is handsomely illustrated and daintily finished.
=======================================================================
The Evolution of Dodd. By William Hawley Smith. EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.00.
This remarkable book is destined to create as great a stir, in its way, as "Ginx's Baby," although written in an entirely different style. It treats of phases of young life as seen through the spectacles of a keen-eyed man, sharp enough to let none of the intricacies of the newer systems of education evade him. It should be read by every parent, teacher, and public school officer in this or any other country. While for pure amusement in watching Dodd's evolution, it is one of the richest books of the season.
Red Letter Stories. Translated from the German by Miss Lucy Wheelock. PRICE 60 CENTS.
Madame Johanna Spyri is pronounced by competent critics the best living German writer for children. Miss Lucy Wheelock of the Chauncy Hall School, Boston, has gracefully translated some of her most charming tales, under the above title. This delightful volume, prettily bound and illustrated, is one of the best selling books of the season.
The Gray Masque and Other Poems. By Mary B. Dodge. ILLUSTRATED, EXTRA CLOTH, $1.25.
The name of this author, whose reputation is already established, will be at once recognized in connection with some of the choicest bits of poetry contributed to recent periodical literature, such as "Indian Summer," "My Baby," "Frozen Crew," etc., all of which, with many new and equally excellent poems, are offered to the public in this unusually attractive volume.
Memorial of Rev. Warren H. Cudworth. By His Sister; WITH PORTRAIT, 380 PAGES, $1.50.
Simply told and remarkably interesting is this story of the life of one of the most saintly of Christian men. It will be welcomed and read with satisfaction by all who knew him, and to those who never saw him, it will be full of suggestive thought.
Money in Politics. By Hon. J.K. Upton. LATE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. EXTRA CLOTH, GILT TOP. 12MO, $1.25.

====CABOT'S====
CREOSOTE STAINS
====ON====
EXTERIOR WOOD WORK.
These Stains have been _Largely_ and _Successfully_ used during the past few seasons.
Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated with this Stain _cannot decay_ but simply wears away from the force of the weather.
The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very _soft_ and _harmonious_, and varying slightly according to the original hue. The Stain may be renewed at any time with _little trouble_ or expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the stain are allowed to stay.
Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the _seaside_ and _suburban_ resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS.
FOR ARTISTIC COLORING EFFECTS THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO PAINT, WHILE THEIR PRESERVATIVE POWER MAKES THEM DOUBLY VALUABLE.

SIMPSON SPRING WATER. SPRING HOUSE _AND Bottling Establishment_ SO. EASTON, MASS.
This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the _STOMACH_, _LIVER_, _KIDNEYS_ and _BLADDER_.
A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC.
PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health.
[NOTE.--This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.]
_PARTS IN 1,000,000_
Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06
The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.
Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
_Dear Sirs_,--"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its _properties_ are _characteristic_, and as _clinically trustworthy_ as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and which all disappear when the cloth is washed.
The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the needle passing through with ease.
Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached by the old process.

THE OLD CORNER BOOK STORE.
The above illustration, especially prepared by Harper and Brothers for George P. Lathrop's article on "Literary and Social Life in Boston," that appeared in _Harper's Monthly Magazine_ for February, is a good representation of the outward appearance of the quaint and picturesque old building standing on the corner of Washington and School Streets.
Famous as the "Corner Store" is as an old landmark, it is justly more famous as the intellectual birthplace of many of the best known works in American literature, the firm of Ticknor & Fields--whose publishing foresight and enterprise have imperishably connected their names with American authors--having occupied it during one of the most brilliant chapters of American literary history.
Under the energetic auspices of Cupples, Upham & Co., it has become one of the most complete retail book establishments in the country, and so popular a resort that all Boston may with a little exaggeration be said to pass through it in a day. To every stranger it is, from its present literary attractiveness, a place not to be overlooked. The literary men of Boston make it their lounging-place and chief rendezvous. To stroll into the "Old Corner" for a chat, a glimpse at the last new book and magazine, is with them a daily duty, as it is with the Bostonian generally. It is a popular shopping-place with ladies, who patronize its church department for works of devotion, prayer books, hymnals, and Bibles. The reason of the extensive patronage which the establishment receives from all classes of readers is due to its admirable department system. It has a department for medical, scientific, and agricultural works; another for maps, globes, and guide books; another for theological literature; another for books in fine bindings, illustrated works, etc; another for sporting and yachting books, and out-door literature generally; one for juvenile books; another for English books, as well as one for American miscellaneous works; and, lastly, special counters for newspapers, periodicals, and novels. It is seldom without the last "new thing" in English, French, or American literature.
The firm does an extensive importing business, and pays special attention to the supplying of Town Libraries and Clubs.

An Entirely New Edition of Lord Byron's
CHILDE HAROLD,
WITH NUMEROUS NEW AND BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD.
THE DRAWINGS BY
Harry Fenn, F. Myruck, S.L. Smith, G.G. Harley, E.H. Garrett, G. Perkins, F.B. Schell, J.D. Woodward, and L.S. Ipsen.
_Drawn and Engraved under the Supervision of A.V.S. Anthony._
PRICE IN CLOTH, $6.00; IN ANTIQUE MOROCCO on TREE CALF, $10.00, IN CRUSHED LEVANT, WITH SILK LININGS, $25.00.
"CHILDE HAROLD" is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic countries around the Mediterranean.
The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, _con amore_, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World. The general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S. ANTHONY, who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of "Lucille" "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess," and "Marmion;" thus ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and elegance in finish.
The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and become the
LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.
"In every respect a beautiful book. It is printed from new plates and its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their line. It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the 'Marmion' and the Lady of the Lake."--Boston Traveller.

Mayo's Vegetable Anaesthetic. ======
A perfectly safe and pleasant substitute for chloroform, ether, and all other anaesthetics. Discovered by Dr. U.K. Mao, April, 1884, and since administered by him and others in over 106,000 cases successfully. Compounded from nervines which impart oxygen to sustain life, (Nitrous oxide gas, as administered, is destitute of this and tends to produce convulsions and suffocation). The youngest child, the most sensitive lady, and those having heart disease and lung complaint, inhale this vapor with impunity. It stimulates the circulation and builds up the tissues. Recommended in midwifery and all cases of nervous prostration. Physicians, surgeons, dentists and private families supplied. For further information, pamphlets, testimonials, etc., apply to Dr. U.K. MAYO, Dentist, 378 Tremont street, Boston, Mass. ======
INDORSEMENT OF THE LATE DR. THORNDIKE.
BOSTON, August 15, 1883.
This certifies that I removed in the back of Mr. J.D. Moore a tumor weighing two pounds and three-quarters. The time occupied was twenty-two minutes. The patient was insensible during the whole operation, and came out from the influence of the anaesthetic speedily and perfectly, without nausea or any ill effects. The agent used was prepared by Dr. U.K. Mayo, the dentist, a new discovery of his own. I consider this anaesthetic the safest the world has yet seen.

SPRING HOUSE _AND_ Bottling Establishment_
SO. EASTON, MASS.
This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters. Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the _STOMACH_, _LIVER_, _KIDNEYS_ and _BLADDER_.
A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC.
PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health.
[NOTE.--This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof. Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society, Jan. 12, 1884.]
_PARTS IN 1,000,000_
Total Residue 44.6 Silica 11.5 Iron and Alumina 0.7 Lime 10.5 Magnesia 1.5 Chlorine 4.6 Ammonia 0.06 Albumoid Ammonia 0.06
The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one gallon of 231 cubic inches.
The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain. It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be determined by a thorough trial.
Messrs. HOWARD BROS., BOSTON, April 24, 1885.
_Dear Sirs_,--"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced (despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made for other Springs,) that its _properties_ are _characteristic_, and as _clinically trustworthy_ as are those of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

CANTON BLEACH.
The goods are full strength; i.e., they are not injured by strong chemicals, the coloring matter only being removed, and the fibre being left uninjured.
The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and which all disappear when the cloth is washed.
The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the needle passing through with ease.
Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached by the old process.
Do not purchase cotton goods until you have _examined the_ "_Canton Bleach_." Be sure and demand of retailers generally to _see the goods_; and do not fail, before purchasing a yard of cotton goods, _to see if the stamp_ "Canton Bleach" is on it.
NOTICE.--Your attention is called to this new bleach as seen on cotton goods, which are now for sale by MESSRS. C.F. HOVEY & CO., SHEPARD, NORWELL & CO., HOGG, BROWN & TAYLOR, CHANDLER & CO., R.H. WHITE & CO., JORDAN, MARSH & CO., and others.

Is a true odorless, antiseptic and sanitary soap, rendering it valuable for sick rooms and hospitals.
If you cannot get it of your grocer, send direct to the office of the Company. Manufactured under Patent Jan. 23, 1877, and for sale by the

CHILDE HAROLD,
WITH NUMEROUS NEW AND BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS ON WOOD.
THE DRAWINGS BY
Harry Fenn, F. Myruck, S.L. Smith, G.G. Harley, E.H. Garrett, G. Perkins, F.B. Schell, J.D. Woodward, and L.S. Ipsen.

PRICE IN CLOTH, $6.00; IN ANTIQUE MOROCCO on TREE CALF, $10.00, IN CRUSHED LEVANT, WITH SILK LININGS, $25.00.
"CHILDE HAROLD" is the most famous of the poems of Lord Byron, and abounds in the most picturesque and attractive scenes and subjects for illustration; including the beautiful scenery of the Rhine, and of Italy and Greece, and the rich treasures of art and history in the classic countries around the Mediterranean.
The best American artists have drawn these illustrations, _con amore_, producing a great number of very choice examples of the high perfection which wood-engraving has reached in the New World. The general supervision of the work has devolved upon Mr. A.V.S. ANTHONY, who held the same relation to the recent magnificent editions of "Lucille" "The Lady of the Lake," "The Princess," and "Marmion;" thus ensuring the utmost accuracy in study, taste in composition, and elegance in finish.
The Publishers believe that in this form and with this elegance of finish the work will be widely welcomed as a Fine Art Edition, and become the
LEADING HOLIDAY GIFT-BOOK OF THE YEAR.
"In every respect a beautiful book. It is printed from new plates and its many illustrations have been furnished by artists famous in their line. It is even more attractive than its handsome predecessors, the 'Marmion' and the Lady of the Lake."--Boston Traveller.
"The most talked of Book since 'Daniel Deronda.'"
The Rise of Silas Lapham. By WILLIAM D. HOWELLS. 1 vol. 12mo.
"No novel since 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,' has been so extensively read by business men. Mr. Howell's literary work has broadened and deepened into this, the latest and most important, and we think his best work,"--says the _New Jerusalem Messenger_.
For a Woman. By NORA TERRY, 1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.
An admirable Story of modern life in America.
"Her prose is always as charming as her poetry, which is saying a great deal.--_Boston Transcript_.
"Nora Perry is the only poet of pure passion in America."--D.A. WASSON, in _Boston Transcript_.
Social Silhouettes. By EDGAR FAWCETT. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"All Gotham is busy gossiping over Edgar Fawcett's series of social Silhouettes,' and everybody has his pet theory as to whom is deliniated in each portrait."--_New Orleans Times Democrat_.
In Camp and Battle with the Washington Artillery of New Orleans.
By WM. MILLER OWEN, First Lieutenant and Adjutant B.W.A. Illustrated with 8 maps and four engravings. 8vo. $3.00.

The Haunted Adjutant; and Other Stories. By EDMUND QUINCY. Edited by his son, Edmund Quincy. 12mo. $1.50.
"Mr. Quincy possessed the Imaginative faculty, and the instructive faculty in larger measure than any of his countrymen, Hawthorne, perhaps excepted, and Hawthorne, if his equal, was not his superior."--_Boston Traveller_.
Aulnay Tower. By BLANCHE WILLIS HOWARD. 12mo. $1.50.
"A story which, for absorbing interest, brilliancy of style, charm of graphic character drawing, and exquisite literary quality, will hold its rank among the best work in American fiction."--_Boston Traveller_.

_It is seldom that we have an opportunity to direct attention to anything so really worthy of notice as this Complete Stamping Outfit. While the price is almost ridiculously low for the entire outfit, the number, excellence and variety of the articles furnished almost exceeds belief. Even for a family to do its own stamping the outfit would be of great service; but when it is realised, that by means of the instruction, samples and materials that are included as "Outfits," any lady can easily become a proficient in making choice Kensington Lace of most elegant and graceful patterns, and become skilled in executing every description of perforated stamping and thus make a nice addition to her income in a very easy and pleasant way, it would seem that scarcely anyone would neglect taking advantage of so favorable an opportunity. These stamping outfits are particularly appropriate for holiday presents and, in our opinion, well worthy of attentive, consideration._

Mayo's Vegetable Anaesthetic.
* * * * *
A perfectly safe and pleasant substitute for chloroform, ether, and all other anaesthetics. Discovered by Dr. U.K. Mao, April, 1884, and since administered by him and others in over 106,000 cases successfully. Compounded from nervines which impart oxygen to sustain life, (Nitrous oxide gas, as administered, is destitute of this and tends to produce convulsions and suffocation). The youngest child, the most sensitive lady, and those having heart disease and lung complaint, inhale this vapor with impunity. It stimulates the circulation and builds up the tissues. Recommended in midwifery and all cases of nervous prostration. Physicians, surgeons, dentists and private families supplied. For further information, pamphlets, testimonials, etc., apply to Dr. U.K. MAYO, Dentist, 378 Tremont street, Boston, Mass.

INDORSEMENT OF THE LATE DR. THORNDIKE.
BOSTON, August 15, 1883.
This certifies that I removed in the back of Mr. J.D. Moore a tumor weighing two pounds and three-quarters. The time occupied was twenty-two minutes. The patient was insensible during the whole operation, and came out from the influence of the anaesthetic speedily and perfectly, without nausea or any ill effects. The agent used was prepared by Dr. U.K. Mayo, the dentist, a new discovery of his own. I consider this anaesthetic the safest the world has yet seen.
