Where'er a single slave doth pine,
  Where'er one man may help another--
  Thank God for such a birthright, brother--
  That spot of earth is thine and mine!
  There is the true man's birthplace grand,
  His is a world-wide fatherland!
                                 LOWELL.


BOLTON, S.E. (K).
               Lives of Girls Who Became Famous.
               Crowell. 1.50

The achievements of nineteen women of note are briefly recounted.
Among the number are Harriet Beecher Stowe, Maria Mitchell, Madame de
Stael, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Florence Nightingale. An
encouraging book for ambitious girls.


CHURCH, A.J.
               Stories of the East from Herodotus.
               Dodd. 1.00

The Father of History tells us of Croesus, his war with and defeat by
the Persians; of Cyrus and his triumphs; of certain kings of Egypt and
the manners of the people; of Cambyses and the Persian conquest; of
the False Smerdis; and of Darius, lord of all Asia.


DRAKE, F.S.
               Indian History for Young Folks.
               Harper. 3.00

This standard work gives a general account of the North American   (p. 173)
Indian, and of our various wars with the different tribes to recent
times. There are maps and many illustrations.


GRIFFIS, W.E.
               Young People's History of Holland.
               Houghton. 1.50

     Every American should know the history of the Netherlands, the
     fatherland of millions of Americans and the storehouse of
     precedents in federal government from which those who made our
     nation borrowed most freely. Nowhere in Europe, except in
     England, can one find the origin of so much that is deepest and
     best in our national life--including the highest jewel of
     civilization, religious liberty--as in Holland, as John Adams and
     Benjamin Franklin long ago confessed.--_Preface._

The satisfactory illustrations to this excellent book are taken from
old prints.


HART, A.B., and A.B. CHAPMAN (Editors).
               How Our Grandfathers Lived.
               Macmillan. .60

     This volume relates chiefly to the first half of the nineteenth
     century. Our grandfathers and even our fathers passed lives full
     of interest and of unusual incidents: the school, the field, the
     forest, the hunt, the stagecoach, and the steamboat, are already
     remote from our present generation.... Special pains have been
     taken to illustrate the remarkable life of the Western frontier,
     now fast becoming a tradition.--_Preface._

Girls will enjoy the informal letters, describing the customs and
costumes at the English Court, as well as those of our own land.


HIGGINSON, T.W.                                                    (p. 174)
               Young Folks' History of the United States.
               Longmans. 1.00
