TWO COLLEGE GIRLS. By HELEN DAWES BROWN. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

One of the most important of recent books.  It is a capital study of girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and social criteria of the three cities.  It is suited alike to old and young, being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple and vivid, and full of sustaining interest.  Nothing has been published since “Little Women” that will so strike the popular taste.

LIGHT ON THE HIDDEN WAY. With an Introduction by JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.

A remarkable and thrilling romance of immortality, illustrating by an account of personal experiences the relations between the seen and the unseen.  All readers of the literature of the supernatural in books like “The Little Pilgrim,” &c., will be profoundly interested in this strange record of the nearness of the spiritual and material worlds.

THE PRELATE. By ISAAC HENDERSON. 12mo. $1.50.

A story of the American colony and native society in Rome.  The situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.

INDIAN SUMMER. By W.D.  HOWELLS, Author of “The Rise of Silas Lapham,” &c. 1 vol. 12 mo. $1.50.

“Mr. Howells’s new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet humor clothed in the neatest expressions.  It is international; the contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism.  The hero is a Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American sort.”—­The Nation.

A STROLL WITH KEATS. By FRANCES CLIFFORD BROWN. 1 vol.  Illustrated.  Square 16mo. $1.50.

One of the choicest gems of art in illustration, consisting of illuminated pages, in beautiful designs, illustrating some of the finest verses of the great English poet.

THE SPHINX’S CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLE’S. By ROSE TERRY COOKE, Author of “Somebody’s Neighbors,” &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

This volume of short stories, reprinted from the author’s contributions to the Atlantic, Harpers, The Galaxy, &c., will be found like “Somebody’s Neighbors,” to show “that profound insight into Puritan character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs. Cooke has but one equal, and no superior.  These exquisite chronicles are full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is attended with alternate tears and smiles.  Their narration is vigorous and spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic skill.”

THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE. The Lectures at the Concord School of Philosophy for 1885.  Edited by F.B.  SANBORN and W.T.  HARRIS. 1 vol. 12mo.  With 2 portraits. $2.00.
