THE SONG OF SONGS.
Being a collection of love lyrics of Ancient Palestine.
By Morris Jastrow, Jr., Ph.D., LL.D.
Professor Jastrow's new work is a companion volume to his GENTLE CYNIC (The Book of Ecclesiastes) and to his BOOK OF JOB. These three books of the Bible have been chosen by him for popular presentation, because of their outstanding character as literary masterpieces, and because of their human appeal. This new translation is based on a revised text. The author also gives the origin, growth and interpretation of the Songs. These twenty-three songs are as fresh in their appeal to the human heart to-day as they were over two thousand years ago,—the author has given descriptive and enticing titles to them, such as "Love's Ecstasy," "The Saucy Damsel," "Love's Longing," etc., etc. Frontispiece by Alexander Bida. Handsome octavo. $2.50

By John T. Faris
We are enabled in this book to appreciate the true wonders of the South, so rich in scenic beauty, historic tradition and natural resources.

He has the gift of being able to make the reader feel something of the real atmosphere and human background of the country through which he passed. Bits of history, delightful anecdotes of people and places enliven his narrative. Frontispiece in color, and one hundred and fifteen doubletone illustrations. Handsome octavo. $6.00
THE WHISTLER JOURNAL
By Elizabeth Rand Joseph Pennell
This companion work to the famous "Life" is full of the most intimate relations of Whistler and his friends, including Rosetti, William Morris, and many other notable personages. It presents an unusual view from the inside of art and literary circles of London and Paris at that time. There is much that is amusing and some that is scandalous. The eighty unusual illustrations are a feature that will be prized by collectors; four of them are in color. Crown octavo, uniform with the "Life." $8.50
