HARPER'S ROUND TABLE FOR 1895
Volume XVI. With 1096 Pages and about 750 Illustrations. 4to, Ornamental, $3.50.
The bound volume of Harper's Round Table for 1895 completes the sixteenth year of this juvenile periodical, and marks an important epoch in its history. Besides the usual number of short stories, which exceeds 125, there are three long serials, each a book in itself, and seven short serials. The most important feature also, in the present volume of Harper's Round Table, is a weekly department on Interscholastic Sport, which is absolutely unique in juvenile literature. This department, conducted from week to week by a writer experienced in athletic matters, gives critical, descriptive, and historical matter referring to the athletics and physical training of boys in American schools; and, collected in this way in a bound volume, these weekly articles furnish a fund of material on juvenile athletic matters that is unrivalled. In the same way a department of intimate converse with young girls, edited by Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, furnishes in this compact form fifty-two distinct articles, which together make a book in themselves of invaluable use to the young women of the United States. In like manner the departments on Amateur Photography and on Stamp Collecting furnish sufficient material for a book on each subject. Altogether Harper's Round Table, with its more than one thousand pages and little less than one thousand illustrations, makes one of the most interesting and useful books of the year in juvenile literature.
