  MR. JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL

  Will write for THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY during 1886.

  MR. JOHN FISKE

Will contribute six or more papers on United States History, covering the period from the Revolution to the adoption of the Constitution.  These papers discuss a portion of American history very imperfectly known, and cannot fail to be exceedingly engaging by reason of Mr. Fiske’s ample knowledge and perfectly clear style.

  MR. PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON,

The distinguished English writer, will furnish a series of articles comparing French and English people, character, opinions, customs, etc.  Mr. Hamerton is peculiarly qualified, by his intimate knowledge of the French as well as of his fellow-countrymen, to write on this subject.

  superb life-size portrait of Hawthorne, Emerson, Longfellow, Bryant,
  Whittier, Lowell, or Holmes, $5.00; each additional portrait, $1.00.

  CHARLES EGBERT CRADDOCK’S
  Remarkable Stories.
  ======

  THE PROPHET OF THE GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS.
  ==> SEVENTH THOUSAND. $1.25.

This is one of the most noteworthy of American novels.  The striking figure and fate of “the prophet,” the cave and stealthy operations of the “moonshiners,” and the engaging love story which runs as a golden thread through it all, are depicted with great power and fascination. ======

  IN THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS.
