MRS. STOWE’S DOMESTIC TALES. New edition. 4 vols., in a box. $5.00.
POGANUC PEOPLE: Their Loves and Lives. Illustrated. In the style of early New England scene and character, in which Mrs. Stowe is so inimitable. As “Oldtown Folks” was said to be founded on Dr. Stowe’s childhood memories, so this was drawn from some of the author’s own reminiscences, and has all the brightness of genuine portraiture.
PINK AND WHITE TYRANNY. A Society Novel. Illustrated. One of Mrs. Stowe’s capital hits, in which through a bright, attractive story she shows the follies of self-seeking and self-pleasing in a young and charming woman, who by the tyranny of beauty always managed to have her own way and was miserable in consequence.
MY WIFE AND I; or, Harry Henderson’s History. Illustrated.
WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS: The Records of an Unfashionable Street. (A Sequel to “My Wife and I.”) Illustrated.
“While it is a sequel to ‘My Wife and I,’ it is nevertheless a complete story in itself. Mrs. Stowe’s style is picturesque, piquant, with just enough vivacity and vim to give the romance edge; and throughout there are delicious sketches of scenes, with bits of dry humor peculiar to her writings.”—Pittsburgh (Pa.) Commercial.

“Worthy of rank as an English classic.”—Pittsburgh Dispatch.
“There is scarcely any satisfactory memoir of him accessible to the general reader, and the author of this book has done a good service.”—Philadelphia Inquirer.
