TWO COLLEGE GIRLS. By Helen Dawes Brown. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
One of the most important of forthcoming books. It is a capital study of girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and social criteria of the three cities. It is suited alike to old and young, being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple and vivid, and full of sustaining interest. Nothing has been published since "Little Women" that will so strike the popular taste.
INDIAN SUMMER. By W.D. Howells, Author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American sort."—The Nation.
THE PRELATE. By Isaac Henderson. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.
CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS. By Clara Erskine Clement. Assisted by Katherine E. Conway. 1 vol. Large 12mo., with many full page illustrations. $2.50.
This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book of Legendary Art,"—of which seventeen large editions have been exhausted. The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols by which men's minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The "Stories of the Saints" will be illustrated by numerous full page engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of Christian Art—prominence being given to scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and notable Saints of the Religious Orders.
JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY. By Mary Hallock Foote, Author of "The Led Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to be compared with our best women novelists. To make this comparison briefly, Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly, and Mrs. Foote feels intensely."—The Critic.
