CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS. By CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT.  Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol.  Large 12mo., with many full page illustrations. $2.50.

This is a revised version of the greater part of the author’s “Hand-book of Legendary Art,”—­of which seventeen large editions have been exhausted.  The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols by which men’s minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired.  The “Stories of the Saints” will be illustrated by numerous full page engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of Christian Art—­prominence being given to scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and notable Saints of the Religious Orders.

JOHN BODEWIN’S TESTIMONY. By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE, Author of “The Led Horse Claim,” &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

“Mrs. Foote’s first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to be compared with our best women novelists.  To make this comparison briefly, Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly, and Mrs. Foote feels intensely.”—­The Critic.

MONOGRAPHS OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE.

No.  II.  THE HARTFORD CAPITOL.  R.M.  Upjohn, Architect.

No.  III.  AMES MEMORIAL BUILDINGS, NORTH EASTON.  H.H.  Richardson,
Architect.

Gelatine Plates (from nature), 13 x 16.  Each in portfolio. $5.00.

The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing for artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted for the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building of the Connecticut State Capitol.  This possesses perhaps even a higher interest than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public building, and not an appendage of an institution.

The American Architect says:  “The execution of the work is all that could be asked.  It would be hard to offer a more encouraging example of the kind of work to be expected in this series.”

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.

NEXT DOOR. By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, Author of “Dearly Bought,” “A Sane Lunatic,” &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

One of the brightest, prettiest, and most charming tales yet offered to the public.  The scene is in Boston, the time the present, the plot exciting, the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and skilful.

POETS AND PROBLEMS. By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Author of “Emerson; His Life, Writings and Philosophy.” 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.

Mr. Cooke brings to his work the most inexhaustible and painstaking patience, the most thorough devotion to the labor he has undertaken, and the deepest mental sympathy with his subjects.  His present work embraces Tennyson, Ruskin, and Browning.
