This new volume shows that Mrs. Latimer still wields the pen of a ready writer. Her already large circle of readers w receive the new volume gladly, for it comes fraught with fascinating historical gossip on matters, some of which are so recen that they seem almost like current news. The exploits of Livingstone and Stanley and Gordon; the settlement of Liberia, and especially of Maryland's own colony there; the founding of the South Africa Republic, the Orange Free State, and the Cong Free State-these and many other subjects are treated in a style so pleasantly familiar, attractive, and entertaining, that the book once taken up cannot be laid down until it is finished.

A CHILD OF TUSCANY.

By MARGUERITE BOUVET, author of "Sweet William," "My Lady," etc. Illustrated. Small 4to, $1.50. This is a sweet, wholesome, and cheerful story, bright with Italian sunshine, and warm with its author's "kindly love t all the young. The scene is laid in the city of Florence and its richly picturesque neighborhood. The characters are all Italian. The children will follow with unabated interest the career of the little peasant hero, who, by unselfish love and patient, persiste labor, rises from poverty to wealth. Miss Bouvet's large circle of young readers will eagerly welcome this story from the pent one who has given them so much pleasure and profit in the past.

Selected and Arranged by WILLIAM L. TOMLINS, Musical Director of the Apollo Club of Chicago and of the Children's Choruses of the World's Fair. With beautiful colored designs by Ella Ricketts. 4to, $2.00. "It is in every particular the daintiest performance we have seen, and we are sure that it will meet with the enthusiastic approval of the public. A conspicuously beautiful feature of this volume is the illustration thereof by Ella Ricketts-drawing wholly in harmony with the delicacy, purity, and sweetness of the songs, and demonstrating clearly the genius of the art st These pictures, which adorn every page of the book, are printed in eight colors, and they surpass, both in point of design and a point of execution, everything else attempted in this line in this country."-EUGENE FIELD in The Chicago Record.

BEATRICE OF BAYOU TÊCHE.

BY ALICE ILGENFRITZ JONES. With beautiful cover design by E. D. Wells. 12mo, $1.25.

This story is excellent in quality, clear and expressive in style, and timely in subject. It is founded upon the difficulties that hedge about a person of mixed blood and clouded birth, no matter what her intellectual and physical endowments.

The book has no dull chapters."- The Chicago Inter-Ocean.

OCTAVE THANET says: "A capital story, full of vigor and subtle knowledge, and it is as vivid and picturesque as the Bayou

MEANS AND ENDS OF EDUCATION.

By the Rt. Rev. J. L. SPALDING, author of "Education and the Higher Life," etc. 12mo. $1.00. The general reading public, and educators in particular, will welcome this inspiration from the pen of Bishop Spalding. It's written in the concise style so familiar in his former works, and with equal vigor. This book comes with peculiar fitness at this time, when colleges, extension centers, home courses, abbreviated hand-books, and the numerous devices for eliminating th difficulties in acquiring knowledge are many in the land, yet at a time of growing indifference to what it is all for.

SONGS, CHIEFLY FROM THE GERMAN.

Translated by Rt. Rev. J. L. SPALDING, author of “ Education and the Higher Life," etc., etc. 16mo, gil: top. $1.25.

The many friends of Bishop Spalding will gladly welcome this little volume. The translator (himself a poeti has here made a selection from the master poets and sweet singers of Germany and other lands, that will be sure to be appreciated.

THE LAW'S LUMBER ROOM.

By FRANCIS WATT. 12mo, uncut, $1.00 net.

This is an interesting collection of legal rubbish-the outworn instruments of cruelty, superstition, and terror. Among the subjects treated are "Benefit of Clergy," "Right of Sanctuary," Law of the Forest," "Trial by Ordeal," and "Wager of Battle," etc. "Between the reign of James I. and that of Victoria, all the subjects here discussed have suffered change with one exception. The Press Gang' is still a legal possibility, but how hard to fancy it ever again in actual use."

NUMBER 49 TINKHAM STREET. By C. EMMA CHENEY, author of "* Young Folks' History of the Civil War," etc. 12mo, $1.00.

This latest little work of Mrs. Cheney's is a spirited little story full of incident, with here and there a touch of pathos or a twinkle of humor. It deals with settlement life in its contact with the very human side of the less fortunate-the struggling

poor.

WHEN CHARLES THE FIRST WAS
KING.

A Romance of Osgoldcross, 1632-1649. By J. S.
FLETCHER, author of "The Wonderful Wapen-
take." 12mo. $1.50.

"The author has the art of placing himself back in the past of which he writes, and while his book abounds in romance, it is true to the coloring of the period of which it treats. Mr. Fletcher is a master of descriptive writing, and he reproduces the old Yorkshire with remarkable realism. His story merits a place beside Conan Doyle's Micah Clark,' and Besant's 'Dorothy Foster.'"-- Boston Daily Advertiser.

SAPPHO.

Memoir, Text, Select Renderings, and a Literal i
Translation. By HENRY THORNTON WHARTON,
With 3 Illustrations in photogravure, and a cover
designed by Aubrey Beardsley. 12mo, $2.25 not.
"Mr. Wharton has put all lovers of poetry, as well as those
who search for truth, under his debt. His study of Sappie
which in its third edition may be regarded as having reached
completion, has been the labor of many years of patri
research."-New York Times.

THAT DOME IN AIR.

By JOHN VANCE CHENEY, Librarian of Newberry
Library. 12mo, $1.25.

A volume of criticism that is truly discriminating and appreciative. It consists of able reviews of the works of Emerson Lowell, Whittier, Longfellow, Bryant, Whitman, Blake,Cowper and Wordsworth. Himself a scholar and poet, Mr. Cheney notes on these poets bring with them weight and interest E always vouchsafed by the critic who at the same time may m be a workman among the workmen of whom he writes.

KNOWLEDGE AND CULTURE.

By HENRY MATSON, author of "References for
Literary Workers." 12mo, 75 cents.

This book will commend itself highly to people desirous of making the best of their mental endowments, and above all to teachers. The systematic and most natural sequence of the divisions of the subject are so admirably accomplished bett with regard to the matter and the letterpress, as to make the book delightful of perusal and easy of reference.

Sold by booksellers generally, or will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the price by the publishers.

A. C. McCLURG & CO.'S NEW BOOKS.

A SCIENTIFIC DEMONSTRATION OF THE FUTURE LIFE.

By THOMSON JAY HUDSON, author of "The Law of Psychic Phenomena." 12m0, $1.50. (In press.) Those who have read "The Law of Psychic Phenomena " will anticipate with pleasure the publication of another volume the same author. Mr. Hudson's investigation into the realms of the psychic have been thorough, earnest, and intelligent, as might have been suspected, he has arrived at the most natural conclusion of such study-viz., a linking of psychic pheena on earth with an existence in some future state. The work is of absorbing interest, and fully sustains the reputation of Mr. Hudson's first volume.

THE BOOK-HUNTER IN LONDON:

Historical and Personal Studies of Book Collectors and Book Collecting. By WILLIAM ROBERTS, author of "The Earlier History of English Bookselling," "Printers' Marks," etc. Copiously illustrated by Portraits, Sketches of Bookish Scenes and Localities, Eminent Booksellers and their Shops, etc. Large 8vo, $5.00 net. Large Paper Edition, limited to 25 copies for America, $13.50 net.

Roberts, whose works on book subjects are well known, has in this volume presented a most entertaining history of 5. k-hunting in old times and in our own day; he has interspersed with the more historical parts of the work much curious and ..ising information about rare and valuable books, odd characters, rare finds, great libraries, etc., etc., the result of many years' experience, study, and collecting, constituting a volume which will be most welcome to all book lovers and collectors.

RECOLLECTIONS OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, 1847-1865.

By WARD HILL LAMON. Edited by Dorothy Lamon. With Portraits and Fac-simile Letters. 12mo, $1.50. This book is not a formal and complete biography compiled from books, newspapers, and documents, but the personal recolitions of a friend. Among all of Lincoln's friends it would be difficult to find one so well qualified for such a work as Mr. Lamon, who was associated with him both in the legal profession and in politics, and who was his confidant during the whole period of his presidency. The chapter on what has been called The Antietam Episode" is especially interesting and reliable. THE JOURNAL OF COUNTESS FRANCOISE KRASINSKA

[ocr errors]

IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY. Translated by KASIMIR DZIEKONSKA. With Portrait and other Illustrations. 16mo, gilt top, $1.25.

"The Journal of Countess Francoise Krašinska,' great-grandmother of Victor Emmanuel and the great-great-grand-mother the present King and Queen of Italy, makes a very attractive little book. Particularly sweet is the glimpse she gives of her home life, which was distinguished by a patriarchal simplicity quite out of date in these days. . . . The gay life of the Polish es in the eighteenth century is graphically depicted here, and the dreary fate of this warm-hearted little countess leaves us with a sense of personal regret, so thoroughly does she ingratiate herself in our affections."—Chicago Evening Post.

LIFE AND LOVE.

By MARGARET W. MORLEY, author of "A Song of Life." Illustrated. 12mo, $1.25.

"Life and Love" reveals the same qualities of thought and style which marked "A Song of Life," but it addresses a maturer a:dience; and instead of confining itself mainly to the inculcation of reverence for motherhood, discusses the mutual relations of the sexes and the intricate problems arising from individual and race development. "I find it hard," writes an authority who read the book in manuscript, "to speak of the work in measured terms of praise."
