UP AND DOWN THE MERRIMAC. Illustrated, 12mo, 1.00.
A vacation trip upon one of the most charming rivers in the world, made in a dory by the author and his two sons for the purpose of hunting, fishing and a good time generally.
“The author is a shrewd thinker; his reflections upon men and things which run through its pages render it peculiarly attractive.”—Philadelphia Item.
BOYDEN (Anna L.).
ECHOES FROM HOSPITAL AND WHITE HOUSE. 12mo, 1.00. (4)
“Anna L. Boyden has undertaken to commemorate the services of Mrs. Rebecca R. Pomroy in the hospitals of the army and in the family of President Lincoln during the Rebellion. The book is a well-written, earnest account of Mrs. Pomroy’s valuable work as a nurse, and, as such, an addition which all will be glad to have to the bibliography of the late War.”—Chicago Tribune.
BOYESEN (Hjalmar Hjorth).
VAGABOND TALES. Square 12mo, 1.25.
A collection of characteristic novellettes by one of the most entertaining and most popular of modern story-tellers. No writer living—scarcely excepting even the great Bjornstein—so thoroughly understands the Norse character and when into this is infused the American element, the success of Prof. Boyesen’s tales is easily understood. There is a breeziness, a vigor and a manliness about his characters that captivate the reader at once and combine dramatic force with literary skill. The stories included in this volume are: Crooked John; A Child of the Age; Monk Tellenbach’s Exile; A Disastrous Partnership; Liberty’s Victim; A Perilous Incognito; Charity.
