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.

This volume presents a complete history of money, or the circulating medium, in the United States, from the colonial days to the present time. Mr. Edward Atkinson, in his introduction, pronounces it the most valuable work of the kind yet published.

A Romance of the Revolution.

(A Double Masquerade.) By Rev. Charles R. Talbot. EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.25.

Illiteracy and Mormonism.

By Henry Randall Waite, Ph.D., LATE STATISTICIAN UNITED STATES CENSUS, SECRETARY INTER-STATE COMMISSION ON FEDERAL AID TO EDUCATION. 12MO, ANTIQUE PAPER COVERS, 25 CENTS.

These papers, as they appeared, in substance, in the Princeton Review, attracted wide attention, and were characterized as "broad, scholarly, and statesmanlike," and as "the most thoughtful and conclusive arguments upon these subjects yet presented." "They demand thoughtful consideration and respect."—Boston Transcript.
