Queen, as true to womanhood as Queenhood, Glorying in the glories of her people, Sorrowing with the sorrows of the lowest! . . . . . . . . . .

Putnam. 1.75 Plutarch wrote a hundred books and was never dull. Most of these have been lost, but the portions which remain have found, with the exception of Holy Writ, more readers through eighteen centuries than the works of any other writer of ancient times.--_Introduction._ If any substitute for a full translation is desired, this abridgment will serve. It is illustrated. WRIGHT, H.C. Children's Stories of the Great Scientists. Scribner. 1.25 Miss Wright's language is picturesque and interesting. These sixteen chapters on the famous scientists from Galileo to Darwin and Huxley will fascinate intelligent children. ZIMMERN, ALICE. Greek History for Young Readers. Longmans. 1.00 A simple, scholarly history; the English excellent. There are maps (p. 177) and many uncommonly good illustrations. FINE ARTS Where gripinge grefes the hart would wounde, And dolefulle dumps the mynde oppresse, There musicke with her silver-sound With spede is wont to send redresse. Attributed to RICHARD EDWARDS.

GEOGRAPHY, TRAVEL, AND DESCRIPTION When all the world is young, lad, And all the trees are green; And every goose a swan, lad, And every lass a queen: Then hey for boot and horse, lad, And round the world away; Young blood must have its course, lad, And every dog his day. KINGSLEY. DANA, R.H. (p. 178) Two Years Before the Mast. Houghton. 1.00 It does not often happen that a young man of twenty-five writes a book which becomes a classic in the language.... Yet this is the history of Dana's Two Years before the Mast.--_Biographical Sketch._
