NEW EDITION OF MARK TWAIN'S WORKS.
From New Electrotype Plates. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental:
THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN. With Photogravure Portrait of the Author, and Other Illustrations. $1.75.
We are suspicious of the middle-aged person who has not read "Huckleberry Finn"; we envy the young person who has it still in store.... After the humor of the book has had its way then the pathos will be apparent, and later still will come the recognition of the value of these sketches as pictures of a civilization now ended.—Philadelphia Ledger.
LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI. Illustrated. $1.75.
Mr. Clemens's picture of the by-gone time is most graphic.... Throughout the book Mr. Clemens's powers of humor and pathos are continually shown.—Boston Transcript.
THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER. Illustrated. $1.75.
Aptly described as "a tale for young people of all ages," for it is a delight to grown-up folk to read it. It is doubtful if Mr. Clemens ever did a more artistically consistent thing than this, and in the ultimate appraisal of his fiction it is sure to rank very high.—Hartford Courant.
A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT. Illustrated. $1.75.
The story will be recalled as one of the quaintest and most original of this quaint and original writer's works.... Fascinating clear through.—Brooklyn Times.
