How Success is Won. (Little Biographies. Third Series.) By Sarah K. Bolton. This is the best of the recent books of this popular class of biography; all its "successful men" are Americans, and with two or three exceptions they are living and in the full tide of business and power. In each case, the facts have been furnished to the author by the subject of the biography, or by family friends; and Mrs. Bolton has chosen from this authentic material those incidents which most fully illustrate the successive steps and the ruling principles, by which success has been gained. A portrait accompanies each biography. Price $1.00.
Many Colored Threads. Selections from the writings of Goethe, edited by Carrie Adelaide Cook. Those familiar with the writings of the great German author, and those who know little of them, will be alike interested in this collection of "best thoughts." Eloquence, pathos, romance, philosophy—a wide range of sentiment and feeling, characteristic of the life of Goethe—are revealed in these selections. The book is a worthy companion to the six preceding volumes of the widely-circulated "Spare Minute Series"—"Thoughts that Breathe," Dean Stanley; "Cheerful Words," George MacDonald; "The Might of Right," Gladstone; "True Manliness," Thos. Hughes; "Living Truths," Charles Kingsley; "Right to the Point," Doctor Cuyler. Extra cloth, $1.00.
The Gray Masque, and Other Poems. By Mary Barker Dodge. This little volume of "tender and beautiful poems" as the London Literary World styles them, has passed to second edition, which appears in a rich dress of cardinal, red and gilt. 12mo, $1.25.
Treasure Thoughts. Notable utterances of the eloquent Canon Farrar, compiled by Rose Porter. This volume, which appears in the popular "Spare Minute Series," is one of the most attractive of its kind ever published. It brims over with wise words, eloquently and epigrammatically spoken. Its appearance, at the time of Canon Farrar's visit to this country, is most opportune. 12mo, extra cloth, $1.00.
