By ORISON SWETT MARDEN. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, illustrated. $1.00.
Dr. Marden, the editor of Success, has never prepared a more invigorating or inspiring book than this. It is really the first book he has designed for young people. To young men whose ambition is honorable success, this book with its practical suggestions and its wealth of example has a value that is almost inestimable. If any young fellow of spirit does not, after reading this book, act up to the advice to Sempronious, he is lacking somewhere:
"'T is not in mortals to command success
But we'll do more, Sempronious, we'll achieve it."
Concerning Cats.
My Own and Some Others.
By HELEN M. WINSLOW. 8vo, cloth, gilt top, illustrated from photographs of famous cats. $1.50.
The first real "cat book" from a popular, practical, and entertaining standpoint. Miss Winslow is a pronounced cat-lover, and she here deals with the cats of history, the home and the cat-show in a manner that is at once attractive and exhaustive. Her book will find ready readers among cat-lovers and cat "fanciers" the world over. The photographic illustrations are beautiful.
The Story of the Nineteenth Century
By Elbridge S. Brooks. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, $1.50
The story of "the wonderful century"—its progress, its achievements, its inventions, its development and its results—is here presented in a connected, simple, straightforward narrative, showing, as its main purpose, the progress of the people out of limitation to enlightenment, out of serfdom to independence, out of selfishness to nationality, out of absolutism to liberty. Chapter by chapter, it is an absorbing and often dramatic story, told by one who has made a study of popularizing history.
