Edward Eggleston's Two Popular Books.
THE HOOSIER SCHOOL-BOY. Illustrated. 12mo, $1.00.
"'The Hoosier School-Boy' depicts some of the characteristics of boy-life years ago on the Ohio; characteristics, however, that were not peculiar to that section. The story presents a vivid and interesting picture of the difficulties which in those days beset the path of the youth aspiring for an education."—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
QUEER STORIES FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. 12mo, $1.00.
"A very bright and attractive little volume for young readers. The stories are fresh, breezy, and healthy, with a good point to them and a good, sound American view of life and the road to success. The book abounds in good feeling and good sense, and is written in a style of homely art."—Independent.
Evening Tales.
Done into English from the French of Frederic Ortoli, by Joel Chandler Harris. 12mo, $1.00.
"It is a veritable French 'Uncle Remus' that Mr. Harris has discovered in Frederic Ortoli. The book has the genuine piquancy of Gallic wit, and will be sure to charm American children. Mr. Harris's version is delightfully written."—Boston Beacon.
