“Dr. Merrill stands in the front rank of American archæologists. There is in America no better authority than he on all questions connected with the ancient life of the East, and his contribution to our knowledge of the Holy Land will take its place in the professional library alongside of ‘Robinson’s Researches.’”—The Christian Union.
BOOKS AND READING.
By Noah Porter, LL. D., President of Yale College. With an appendix giving valuable directions for courses of reading, prepared by James M. Hubbard, late of the Boston Public Library. 1 vol., crown 8vo, $2.
“President Noah Porter’s ‘Books and Reading’ is by far the most practical and satisfactory treatise on the subject that has been published. It not only answers the questions ‘What books shall I read?’ and ‘How shall I read them?’ but it supplies a large and well-arranged catalogue under appropriate heads, sufficient for a large family or a small public library.”—Boston Zion’s Herald.
THE BOOK OF FORTY PUDDINGS.
By Susan Anna Brown. 1 vol, with attractive and appropriate binding, 50 cents.
“‘The Book of Forty Puddings’ tells of puddings, nothing more or less, but they are the best of puddings for epicures. Very cunningly the appetite is whetted before reading the papers, by covers tinted and designed in perfect taste.”—Boston Globe.
