BRAZIL: Its Condition and Prospects. By C. C. Andrews, ex-Consul-General to Brazil. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“I hope I may be able to present some facts in respect to the present situation of Brazil which will be both instructive and entertaining to general readers. My means of acquaintance with that empire are principally derived from a residence of three years at Rio de Janeiro, its capital, while employed in the service of the United States Government, during which period I made a few journeys into the interior.”—From the Preface.

FROM FLAG TO FLAG. A Woman’s Adventures and Experiences in the South during the War, in Mexico, and in Cuba. By Eliza McHatton-Ripley. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
The author of this book was the wife of a planter in Louisiana, and underwent some remarkable experiences in the first part of the war; later in Mexico, many vicissitudes befell her; and of her life in Cuba, still later, she has a striking and unusual story to tell.
“In a word, the book is an account of personal adventures which would be called extraordinary did not one remember that the civil war must have brought similar ones to many. Her hardships are endured with the rarest pluck and good humor, and her shifty way of meeting difficulties seems almost to point to a Yankee strain in her blood.”—The Nation.

“ ‘The History of a Slave’ is a work of fiction based upon every-day occurrences in the Dark Continent, and well calculated to bring home to the reader the social condition of heathen and Mohammedan Africa, and the horrors of a domestic slave-trade.”—The Athenæum.
