CHARING CROSS TO ILFRACOMBE.
By JOHN DENISON CHAMPLIN, Jr.
Illustrated by Edward L. Chichester. 1 vol., 12mo. New Edition, $1.25.
“The book takes us into the old and out-of-the-way places of which we have heard less, and in which we are more interested because of their old-time and eventful histories, their quaint buildings, customs, and people, their charming scenery and their poetic legends. The company is merry, wise, and observant; harmless and witty jest and repartee abound, and all these find in Mr. Champlin a lively and intelligent chronicler.”—Chicago Interior.
JOHN BULL AND HIS ISLAND.
One Volume, 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
This witty and incisive book on England, by an anonymous French author, is the sensation of the moment in Paris, London, and America. The British press and public have been compelled to laugh over the admirable cleverness of the study, even while they protested; and the fairer critics have recognized the striking truth and merit of the more serious criticism which forms no insignificant part of it.
