The Forestman of Vimpek
His Neighbors, his Doings and his Reflections in a Bohemian Forest Village
By MADAM FLORA P. KOPTA, author of "Bohemian Legends and Poems," 12mo, cloth, gilt top, $1.25
A simple but unique, picturesque and delightful story of peasant life in a Bohemian shut-in village, "on the edge of the forest." It introduces English readers to a charming and little-known community, far removed from towns and cities, but where the duties, desires, passions and purposes of men and women are just as human and just as diversified as in the busier haunts of men.
Germany: Her People and their Story
By AUGUSTA HALE GIFFORD. One volume, 8vo, 593 pages, cloth, gilt top, uncut edges, emblematic cover, fully illustrated, $1.75
The first popular story of Germany, especially prepared for American readers, and written from an American standpoint. In this light the book is unique. It stands alone as the latest and most complete, while it is the briefest and most condensed story of the German Empire, from its beginnings to its present proud position among the world-leaders.
