The New York Herald; says,
Impossible to find a handsomer book on outdoor life than this. The author's peculiar faculty for describing days in the woods and rambles with good company has long been known. "Daylight Land" is longer than the book in which the same author made the Adirondacks seem some other place to men whose eyes were not as wide-open as his own, and the style is even breezier, if that is possible. Seldom does a book appear which is so entirely creditable to author, artist, and publisher.
HOW DEACON TUBMAN AND PARSON WHITNEY KEPT NEW YEAR'S, and Other Stories. By W. H. H. Murray, author of "Adirondack Tales," etc. 12mo. Illustrated. $1.25.
Deacon Tubman, a jolly, fat, good-natured man, is presented with a woollen night-cap on New Year's morning by his housekeeper, "a typical spinster not overburdened with fat." This so rejoices the Deacon that he is possessed to make others happy, goes to call upon his pastor, and makes him leave his books and spend the day skating, sleighing, and driving with his parishioners.
STORY THE KEG TOLD ME, AND THE STORY OF THE MAN WHO DIDN'T KNOW MUCH. By W. H. H. Murray, author of "Daylight Land," "Adirondack Adventures," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Two admirable stories by W. H. H. Murray, in both which appears John Norton, the trapper, a character that promises to become as much of a favorite as is the hero of the Leather Stocking novels. These stories have a bracing outdoor freshness and a delightfully crisp realism: are vigorous in tone, and strong and picturesque in the relation. Taken altogether, they may be pronounced in the most artistic of Mr. Murray's excursions into the realms of fiction, and fascinating generally." —Saturday Evening Gazette.
DEACONS. By W. H. H. Murray. 16mo. Paper, 50 cts. Cloth, 75 cts.
"Mr. Murray is an expert in the art of character drawing; he can manipulate humor and pathos with equal facility. No one will gainsay their freshness and individuality."—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
ADIRONDACK ADVENTURES. "In the Wilderness; or, Camp Life in the Adirondacks." By W. H. H. Murray, 12mo. Illustrated. Paper, 50 cts. Cloth, $1.25.
"In the 'Adventures in the Wilderness' W. H. H. Murray strikes the happy hunting ground, which long ago earned for him the popular title, 'Adirondack Murray,' and here, as in his other books, he fairly revels in stirring incident, lively and faithful conception of character, and the powerful but delightful description of natural scenery which have already given his work an enviable and lasting place in American literature."—Nashville American.
THE BUSTED EX-TEXAN, AND OTHER STORIES. By W. H. H. Murray. With photogravure portrait of Mr. Murray, and eight full-page illustrations by Thos. Worth. Square 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
CIVILIZATION IN THE UNITED STATES, AND OTHER ESSAYS CONCERNING AMERICA. By Matthew Arnold. 16mo. Unique paper boards, 50 cts. Cloth, uncut, $1.25. The cloth binding matches the uniform edition of his collected works. Comprises the critical essays, which created so much discussion, namely, "General Grant, an Estimate," "A Word About America," "A Word More About America," and "Civilization in the United States." The collection gathers in the great critic's last contribution to literature.
Bulfinch's Mythology.
THE AGE OF CHIVALRY; Or Legends of King Arthur. "Stories of the Round Table," "The Crusades," "Robin Hood," etc. By Thomas Bulfinch. A new and enlarged edition. Revised by Rev. E. E. Hale. Large 12mo. Illustrated. $2.50.
In "The Age of Fable," Mr. Bulfinch endeavored to impart the pleasure of classical learning to the English reader by presenting the stories of Pagan mythology in a form adapted to modern taste. In this volume the attempt has been made to treat in the same way the stories of the second "age of fable"—the age which witnessed the dawn of the several states of modern Europe.
THE AGE OF FABLE; Or, Beauties of Mythology. By Thomas Bulfinch. A new and enlarged edition, containing over 100 illustrations from ancient paintings and statuary. Revised by Rev. E. E. Hale. Large 12mo. $2.50.
Young readers will find this book a source of entertainment; those more advanced, a useful companion in their reading; those who travel and visit museums and galleries of art, an interpreter of paintings and sculptures.
LEGENDS OF CHARLEMAGNE; Or, Romance of the Middle Ages. Stories of Paladin and Saracen. By Thomas Bulfinch. 12mo. Illustrated. $2.50.
Prof. Clark Murray's Works.
SOLOMON MAIMON: An Autobiography. Translated from the German, with Additions and Notes, by Prof. J. Clark Murray. Cr. 8vo. Cloth. 307 pages. $2.00.
The London Spectator says: "Dr. Clark Murray has had the rare good fortune of first presenting this singularly vivid book in an English translation as pure and lively as if it were an original, and an original by a classic English writer."
George Eliot, in "Daniel Deronda," mentions it as "that wonderful bit of autobiography—the life of the Polish Jew, Solomon Maimon:" and Milman, in his "History of the Jews," refers to it as a curious and rare book.
HANDBOOK OF PSYCHOLOGY. By Prof. J. Clark Murray, LL.D., Professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy, M'Gill College, Montreal. Cr. 8vo. 2d edition, enlarged and improved. $1.75.
Clearly and simply written, with illustrations so well chosen that the dullest student can scarcely fail to take an interest in the subject.
Adopted for use in colleges in Scotland, England, Canada, and the United States.
Prof. Murray's good fortune in bringing to light the "Maimon Memoirs," together with the increasing popularity of his "Handbook of Psychology," has attracted the attention of the intellectual world, giving him a position with the leaders of thought of the present age. His writings are at once original and suggestive.
The Popular Works of Sally Pratt McLean.
CAPE COD FOLKS. A Novel. Twenty-third edition. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. Paper, 50 cents.
TOWHEAD: THE STORY OF A GIRL. Fifth Thousand. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. Paper, 50 cents.
Since the production of Miss McLean's first effort "Cape Cod Folks," she has steadily advanced in intellectual development; the same genius is at work in a larger and more artistic manner, until she has at length produced what must be truly considered as her masterpiece, and which we have the pleasure to announce for immediate publication.
SOME OTHER FOLKS. A Book in Four Stories. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. Paper, 50 cents.
These books are so well known that further comment seems superfluous. Suffice it to say that the entire press of the country has unanimously spoken of them in terms of high praise, dwelling not only on their delicious humor, their literary workmanship, their genuine pathos, and their real power and eloquence, but what has been described as their deep, true humanness, and the inimitable manner in which the mirror is held up to nature that all may see reflected therein some familiar trait, some description or character which is at once recognized.
LASTCHANCE JUNCTION: HUMAN NATURE IN THE FAR WEST. A Novel. By Sally Pratt McLean. 1 vol. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"Terse, incisive descriptions of men and scenery, drawn with so vivid a pen that one can see the characters and their setting, delicious bits of humor, passages full of infinite pathos, make this book absolutely hold the reader from the title to the last word, and as, when finished, one sighs for the pity of it, the feeling rises that such a work has not been written in vain, and will have its place among those which tend to elevate our race."
MISS FRANCES MERLEY. A Novel. By John Elliot Curran. 420 pages. Square 16mo. Paper covers, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00.
The first important work of an author familiar to American readers by his remarkable sketches to Scribner's and other magazines.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NEW ENGLAND FARM HOUSE: A Romance of the Cape Cod Lands. By N. H. Chamberlain. 380 pages. Square 16mo. Paper covers, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00.
A novel of singular power and beauty, great originality and rugged force. Born and bred on Cape Cod, the author, at the winter firesides of country people, very conservative of ancient English customs now gone, heard curious talk of kings, Puritan ministers, the war and precedent struggle of our Revolution, and touched a race of men and women now passed away. He also heard, chiefly from ancient women, the traditions of ghosts, witches and Indians, as they are preserved, and to a degree believed, by honest Christian folk, in the very teeth of modern progress.
