NORDHOFF, CHARLES. Sailor Life on a Man-of-War. Dodd. 2.00 To give a sailor's impressions of a sailor's life ... has been the aim. Neither exaggerating its hardships--they do not need it--nor highly coloring its delights, whatever those may be, the very plainest truth has been thought sufficient for the purpose in view.--_Original Preface._ Many changes and improvements have come about since 1854, when (p. 151) this volume was written, but it is republished without alteration of the text, so as to give a picture of sailor days before the introduction of steam. PLUMMER, M.W. Roy and Ray in Mexico. Holt. 1.75 Two wide-awake children, with their parents, visit modern cities and ancient ruins, learn much of customs and history, meet President Diaz, and compare things Mexican and American. Map, sixteen half-tone plates, and Mexican songs with music. Useful as a travel guide, and helpful to teachers and school children. NEW YORK STATE LIBRARY. STARR, FREDERICK. Strange Peoples. Heath. .40 A series of brief accounts of some of the many peoples of the world, accompanied by authentic illustrations. The author is Professor of Anthropology in the University of Chicago. MYTHOLOGY, FOLK-LORE, LEGENDS, AND FAIRY TALES Lo! I must tell a tale of chivalry; For large white plumes are dancing in mine eye. KEATS. HIGGINSON, T.W. Tales of the Enchanted Islands of the Atlantic. Illustrated by Albert Herter. Macmillan. 1.50 Hawthorne, in his Wonder Book, has described the beautiful (p. 152) Greek myths and traditions, but no one has yet made similar use of the wondrous tales that gathered for more than a thousand years about the islands of the Atlantic deep.... The order of the tales in the present work follows roughly the order of development, giving first the legends which kept near the European shore, and then those which, like St. Brandan's or Antillia, were assigned to the open sea or, like Norumbega or the Isle of Demons, to the very coast of America.... Every tale in this book bears reference to some actual legend, followed more or less closely.--_Preface._ LAMB, CHARLES. The Adventures of Ulysses. Illustrated by M.H. Squire and E. Mars. Russell. 2.50 Intended to be an introduction to the reading of Telemachus; it is done out of the Odyssey, not from the Greek. I would not mislead you; nor yet from Pope's Odyssey, but from an older translation of one Chapman. LAMB. This children's classic, with its pure and forceful English, is presented in an attractive manner. The full-page illustrations are in black and buff.
