Baccalaureate Sermons.

By Rev. A.B. Peabody, D.D.LL.D. 12MO, $1.25.

The sermons contained in this volume, delivered before the graduating classes of Harvard University, it is safe to say are not excelled by any productions of their kind. They are not only rarely appropriate, as discourses addressed to educated young men upon the threshold of active life, but are models of logical thought, and graceful rhetoric worthy the study of all ministers.

Interrupted.

By Pansy (Mrs. G.R. Alden). EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.50.

It has all the charm of this most popular author's fascinating style, grown riper each year, and possessing more of the peculiar power by which she adapts herself to her varied audience. More than a hundred thousand of Pansy's books are sold every year.

Within the Shadow.

By Dorothy Holroyd. 12MO, CLOTH, $1.25.

"The most successful book of the year." "The plot is ingenious, yet not improbable, the character drawing strong and vigorous, the story throughout one of brilliancy and power." "The book cannot help making a sensation."—Boston Transcript. "The author is an original and vigorous writer, and at once takes rank with the best writers of American fiction."—Toledo Journal. "A story of such brilliancy and power as to at once entitle its author to recognition as a writer of high ability."—Journal Press, St. Cloud. "The author has skill in invention with the purest sentiment and good natural style."—Boston Globe.

How Success is Won.

(Little Biographies. Third Series.) By Sarah K. Bolton. PRICE, $1.

This is the best of the recent books of this popular class of biography; all its "successful men" are Americans, and with two or three exceptions they are living and in the full tide of business and power. In each case, the facts have been furnished to the author by the subject of the biography, or by family friends; and Mrs. Bolton has chosen from this authentic material those incidents which most fully illustrate the successive steps, and the ruling principles, by which success has been gained. A portrait accompanies each biography.

In Case of Accident.

By Dr. D.A. Sargent. ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, 60 CENTS.

This little handbook is worth its weight in gold, and should be found on the most convenient shelf of every family library. The author is connected with the Harvard College Gymnasium, and the contents of the volume are made up of practical talks delivered before the ladies' class of the Gymnasium. His aim is to give such practical information as will aid to self-preservation in times of danger, and to teach a few of the simplest methods of meeting the common accidents and emergencies of life. The illustrations are numerous and excellent.

The Arnold Birthday Book.

Edited by his Daughters. $1.25.

With an autograph introductory poem by Edwin Arnold, and choice quotations from his poems for every day. The many admirers of the "Light of Asia" will gladly welcome this graceful souvenir of the author, which is handsomely illustrated and daintily finished.

The Evolution of Dodd.

By William Hawley Smith. EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.00.

This remarkable book is destined to create as great a stir, in its way, as "Ginx's Baby," although written in an entirely different style. It treats of phases of young life as seen through the spectacles of a keen-eyed man, sharp enough to let none of the intricacies of the newer systems of education evade him. It should be read by every parent, teacher, and public school officer in this or any other country. While for pure amusement in watching Dodd's evolution, it is one of the richest books of the season.

Red Letter Stories.

Translated from the German by Miss Lucy Wheelock. PRICE 60 CENTS.

Madame Johanna Spyri is pronounced by competent critics the best living German writer for children. Miss Lucy Wheelock of the Chauncy Hall School, Boston, has gracefully translated some of her most charming tales, under the above title. This delightful volume, prettily bound and illustrated, is one of the best selling books of the season.

The Gray Masque and Other Poems.

By Mary B. Dodge. ILLUSTRATED, EXTRA CLOTH, $1.25.

The name of this author, whose reputation is already established, will be at once recognized in connection with some of the choicest bits of poetry contributed to recent periodical literature, such as "Indian Summer," "My Baby," "Frozen Crew," etc., all of which, with many new and equally excellent poems, are offered to the public in this unusually attractive volume.

Memorial of Rev. Warren H. Cudworth.

By His Sister; WITH PORTRAIT, 380 PAGES, $1.50.
