TICKNOR & COMPANY'S NEW BOOKS,

SPRING OF 1886.

The prices named below are subject to revision on publication.

ROMANCE AND REVERIE. By Edgar Fawcett. 1 vol. 12mo. Printed on fine hand-made paper, with gilt top. $2.00. A volume of poems, by the author of "Song and Story."

"Mr. Fawcett was the man of whom Longfellow expected more than from any of the other young American authors, both as a poet and novelist."—American Queen.

"The Revue des Deux Mondes gives high praise to Mr. Fawcett's poetry, and compares his briefer lyrics to the famous 'Emaux et Camées' of Théophile Gautier."—Beacon.

STORIES AND SKETCHES. By John Boyle O'Reilly, editor of the Pilot, author of "Moondyne," Songs, Legends, Ballads etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

The great popularity of the author, and the intrinsic merit and interest of his writings, will ensure a warm reception to this collection of his latest and best works.

N.A. Nekrasov.

CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS. By Clara Erksine 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.

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 × 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."

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.

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.

THE OLDEN-TIME SERIES. 16mo. Per vol., 50 cents.

There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this, Mr. Henry M. Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be history, the volumes will contain much material for history, so combined and presented as to be both amusing and instructive. The titles of some of the volumes indicate their scope and their promise of entertainment:—"Curiosities of the Old Lottery," "Days of the Spinning Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious Punishments," "Quaint and Curious Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities," "New-England Sunday," etc.

THE IMPERIAL ISLAND—ENGLAND'S CHRONICLE IN STONE. By James F. Hunnewell. 1 vol. 8vo. Richly illustrated. $3.50.

This admirable and impressive work is a companion to the same author's well-known "Historical Monuments of France," and contains a vivid record of the life of Merrie England, as exemplified by her august castles and palaces, abbeys and cathedrals.

THE LOST NAME. By Mrs. Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren, author of "A Washington Winter," "South-sea Sketches," etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

The remarkable success of Mrs. Dahlgren's previous portrayals of society make it certain that her forthcoming work will be full of life and purpose, and therefore sure to attract and interest.
