"A handsome gift-book relating to travel, adventure, and field sports in the West."—New York Times.
"Mr. Rideing's book is intended for the edification of advanced young readers. It narrates the adventures of Tom Smart, Bob Edge, and Peter Small, in their travels through the mountainous region of the West, principally in Colorado. The author was a member of the Wheeler expedition, engaged in surveying the Territories, and his descriptions of scenery, mining life, the Indians, games, etc., are in a great measure derived from personal observation and experience. The volume is handsomely illustrated, and can not but prove attractive to young readers."—Chicago Journal.
BOYS COASTWISE; or, All Along the Shore. By W. H. Rideing, Uniform with "Boys in the Mountains." With numerous Illustrations. Illuminated boards, $1.75.

"This is the boys' favorite author, and of the many books Mr. Fenn has written for them this will please them the best. While it will not come under the head of sensational, it is yet full of life and of those stirring adventures which boys always delight in."—Christian at Work.
"English pluck and Swiss coolness are tested to the utmost in these perilous explorations among the higher Alps, and quite as thrilling as any of the narrow escapes is the account of the first breathless ascent of a real mountain-peak. It matters little to the reader whether the search for crystals is rewarded or not, so concerned does he become for the fate of the hunters."—Literary World.

The story, too, is one of the good old sort, full of life and vigor, breeziness and fun. It begins well and goes on better, and from the time Syd joins his ship, exciting incidents follow each other in such rapid and brilliant succession that nothing short of absolute compulsion would induce the reader to lay it down."—London Journal of Education.

PAUL AND VIRGINIA. By Bernardin de Saint-Pierre. With a Biographical Sketch, and numerous Illustrations by Maurice Leloir. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top, uniform with "Picciola," "The Story of Colette," and "An Attic Philosopher in Paris." $1.50.
It is believed that this standard edition of "Paul and Virginia" with Leloir's charming illustrations will prove a most acceptable addition to the series of illustrated foreign classics in which D. Appleton and Co. have published "The Story of Colette," "An Attic Philosopher in Paris," and "Picciola." No more sympathetic illustrator than Leloir could be found, and his treatment of this masterpiece of French literature invests it with a peculiar value.
PICCIOLA. By X. B. Saintine. With 130 Illustrations by J. F. Gueldry. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.50.
"Saintine's 'Picciola,' the pathetic tale of the prisoner who raised a flower between the cracks of the flagging of his dungeon, has passed definitely into the list of classic books.... It has never been more beautifully housed than in this edition, with its fine typography, binding, and sympathetic illustrations."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
"The binding is both unique and tasteful, and the book commends itself strongly as one that should meet with general favor in the season of gift-making."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
"Most beautiful in its clear type, cream-laid paper, many attractive illustrations, and holiday binding."—New York Observer.
AN ATTIC PHILOSOPHER IN PARIS; or, A Peep at the World from a Garret. Being the Journal of a Happy Man. By Émile Souvestre. With numerous Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.50.
"A suitable holiday gift for a friend who appreciates refined literature."—Boston Times.
"The influence of the book is wholly good. The volume is a particularly handsome one."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
"It is a classic. It has found an appropriate reliquary. Faithfully translated, charmingly illustrated by Jean Claude with full-page pictures, vignettes in the text, and head and tail pieces, printed in graceful type on handsome paper, and bound with an art worthy of Matthews, in half-cloth, ornamented on the cover, it is an exemplary book, fit to be 'a treasure for aye.'"—New York Times.
THE STORY OF COLETTE. A new large-paper edition. With 36 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.50.
"One of the handsomest of the books of fiction for the holiday season."—Philadelphia Bulletin.
"One of the gems of the season.... It is the story of the life of young womanhood in France, dramatically told, with the light and shade and coloring of the genuine artist, and is utterly free from that which mars too many French novels. In its literary finish it is well-nigh perfect, indicating the hand of the master."—Boston Traveller.

D. APPLETON AND CO'S PUBLICATIONS.
THE FARMER'S BOY. By Clifton Johnson, author of "The Country School in New England," etc. With 64 Illustrations by the Author. 8vo. Cloth, $2.50.
"One of the handsomest and most elaborate juvenile works lately published."—Philadelphia Item.
"Mr. Johnson's style is almost rhythmical, and one lays down the book with the sensation of having read a poem and that saddest of all longings, the longing for vanished youth."—Boston Commercial Bulletin.
"As a triumph of the realistic photographer's art it deserves warm praise quite aside from its worth as a sterling book on the subjects its title indicates.... It is a most praiseworthy book, and the more such that are published the better."—New York Mail and Express.
"The book is beautiful and amusing, well studied, well written, redolent of the wood, the field, and the stream, and full of those delightful reminders of a boy's country home which touch the heart."—New York Independent.
"One of the finest books of the kind that have ever been put out."—Cleveland World.
"A book on whose pages many a gray-haired man would dwell with retrospective enjoyment."—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
"The illustrations are admirable, and the book will appeal to every one who has had a taste of life on a New England farm."—Boston Transcript.
THE COUNTRY SCHOOL IN NEW ENGLAND. By Clifton Johnson. With 60 Illustrations from Photographs and Drawings made by the Author. Square 8vo. Cloth, gilt edges, $2.50.
"An admirable undertaking, carried out in an admirable way.... Mr. Johnson's descriptions are vivid and lifelike and are full of humor, and the illustrations, mostly after photographs, give a solid effect of realism to the whole work, and are superbly reproduced.... The definitions at the close of this volume are very, very funny, and yet they are not stupid; they are usually the result of deficient logic."—Boston Beacon.
"A charmingly written account of the rural schools in this section of the country. It speaks of the old-fashioned school days of the early quarter of this century, of the mid-century schools, of the country school of to-day, and of how scholars think and write. The style is animated and picturesque.... It is handsomely printed, and is interesting from its pretty cover to its very last page."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
"A unique piece of book-making that deserves to be popular.... Prettily and serviceably bound, and well illustrated."—The Churchman.
"The readers who turn the leaves of this handsome book will unite in saying the author has 'been there.' It is no fancy sketch, but text and illustrations are both a reality."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
"No one who is familiar with the little red schoolhouse can look at these pictures and read these chapters without having the mind recall the boyhood experiences, and the memory is pretty sure to be a pleasant one."—Chicago Times.
"A superbly prepared volume, which by its reading matter and its beautiful illustrations, so natural and finished, pleasantly and profitably recalls memories and associations connected with the very foundations of our national greatness."—N. Y. Observer.

UNCLE REMUS. His Songs and his Sayings. By Joel Chandler Harris. With new Preface and Revisions, and 112 Illustrations by A. B. Frost. Library Edition. 12mo. Buckram, gilt top, uncut, $2.00. Also, Edition de luxe of the above, limited to 250 copies, each signed by the author, with the full-page cuts mounted on India paper. 8vo. White vellum, gilt top, $10.00.
"The old tales of the plantation have never been told as Mr. Harris has told them. Each narrative is to the point, and so swift in its action upon the risibilities of the reader that one almost loses consciousness of the printed page, and fancies it is the voice of the lovable old darky himself that steals across the senses and brings mirth inextinguishable as it comes; ... and Mr. Frost's drawings are so superlatively good, so inexpressibly funny, that they promise to make this the standard edition of a standard book."—New York Tribune.
"An exquisite volume, full of good illustrations, and if there is anybody in this country who doesn't know Mr. Harris, here is an opportunity to make his acquaintance and have many a good laugh."—New York Herald.
"There is but one 'Uncle Remus,' and he will never grow old.... It was a happy thought, that of marrying the work of Harris and Frost."—New York Mail and Express.
"Nobody could possibly have done this work better than Mr. Frost, whose appreciation of negro life fitted him especially to be the interpreter of 'Uncle Remus,' and whose sense of the humor in animal life makes these drawings really illustrations in the fullest sense. Mr. Harris's well-known work has become in a sense a classic, and this may be accepted as the standard edition."—Philadelphia Times.
"A book which became a classic almost as soon as it was published.... Mr. Frost has never done anything better in the way of illustration, if indeed he has done anything as good."—Boston Advertiser.
"We pity the reader who has not yet made the acquaintance of 'Uncle Remus' and his charming story.... Mr. Harris has made a real addition to literature purely and strikingly American, and Mr. Frost has aided in fixing the work indelibly on the consciousness of the American reader."—The Churchman.
"The old fancies of the old negro, dear as they may have been to us these many years, seem to gain new life when they appear through the medium of Mr. Frost's imagination."—New York Home Journal.
"In his own peculiar field 'Uncle Remus' has no rival. The book has become a classic, but the latest edition is the choice one. It is rarely riven to an author to see his work accompanied by pictures so closely in sympathy with his text."—San Francisco Argonaut.
"We say it with the utmost faith that there is not an artist who works in illustration that can catch the attitude and expression, the slyness, the innate depravity, the eye of surprise, obstinacy, the hang of the head or the kick of the heels of the mute and the brute creation as Mr. Frost has shown to us here."—Baltimore Sun.

D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
THE STORY OF WASHINGTON. By Elizabeth Eggleston Seelye. Edited by Dr. Edward Eggleston. With over 100 Illustrations by Allegra Eggleston. A new volume in the "Delights of History" Series, uniform with "The Story of Columbus." 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"One of the best accounts of the incidents of Washington's life for young people."—New York Observer.
"The Washington described is not that of the demigod or hero of the first half of this century, but the man Washington, with his defects as well as his virtues, his unattractive traits as well as his pleasing ones.... There is greater freedom from errors than in more pretentious lives."—Chicago Tribune.
"The illustrations are numerous, and actually illustrate, including portraits and views, with an occasional map and minor pictures suggestive of the habits and customs of the period. It is altogether an attractive and useful book, and one that should find many readers among American boys and girls."—Philadelphia Times.
"A good piece of literary work presented in an attractive shape."—New York Tribune.
"Will be read with interest by young and old. It is told with good taste and accuracy, and if the first President loses some of his mythical goodness in this story, the real greatness of his natural character stands out distinctly, and his example will be all the more helpful to the boys and girls of this generation."—New York Churchman.
"The book is just what has been needed, the story of the life of Washington, as well as of his public career, written in a manner so interesting that one who begins it will finish, and so told that it will leave not the memory of a few trivial anecdotes by which to measure the man, but a just and complete estimate of him. The illustrations are so excellent as to double the value of the book as it would be without them."—Chicago Times.
THE STORY OF COLUMBUS. By Elizabeth Eggleston Seelye. Edited by Dr. Edward Eggleston. With 100 Illustrations by Allegra Eggleston. "Delights of History" Series. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
"A brief, popular, interesting, and yet critical volume, just such as we should wish to place in the hands of a young reader. The authors of this volume have done their best to keep it on a high plane of accuracy and conscientious work without losing sight of their readers."—New York Independent.
"In some respects altogether the best book that the Columbus year has brought out."—Rochester Post-Express.
"A simple story told in a natural fashion, and will be found far more interesting than many of the more ambitions works on a similar theme."—New York Journal of Commerce.
"This is no ordinary work. It is pre-eminently a work of the present time and of the future as well."—Boston Traveller.
"Mrs. Seelye's book is pleasing in its general effect, and reveals the results of painstaking and conscientious study."—New York Tribune.
"A very just account is given of Columbus, his failings being neither concealed nor magnified, but his real greatness being made plain."—New York Examiner.
"The illustrations are particularly well chosen and neatly executed, and they add to the general excellence of the volume."—New York Times.
New York: D. APPELTON AND CO., 72, Fifth Avenue.
