Habberton, John
Canoes and canoeing; Québec (Province) -- Description and travel
"Mr. Habberton has given us a truly readable and delightful selection
from a series of volumes that ought possibly never to go out of
fashion, but which by the reason of their length and slightly
antiquated form there is danger of our overlook."--_Liberal Christian._
BAYARD TAYLOR'S NOVELS.
=I. HANNAH THURSTON.= A Story of American Life.
One vol. 12mo, $2. Household edition. $1 50
"If Bayard Taylor has not placed himself, as we are half inclined
to suspect, in the front rank of novelists, he has produced a very
remarkable book--a really original story, admirably told, crowded with
life-like characters, full of delicate and subtle sympathies, with
ideas the most opposite to his own, and lighted up throughout with
that playful humor which suggests always wisdom rather than, mere
fun."--_London Spectator._
=II. JOHN GODFREY'S FORTUNES.= Related by Himself. 12mo, $2. Household
edition. $1 50
"'John Godfrey's Fortunes,' without being melodramatic or morbid,
is one of the most fascinating novels which we have ever read. Its
portraiture of American social life, though not flattering, is
eminently truthful; its delineation of character is delicate and
natural; its English, though sometimes careless, is singularly graceful
and pleasant."--_Cleveland Leader._
III. THE STORY OF KENNETT.= One vol. 12mo, $2. Household edition. $1 50
="Mr. Hayard Taylor's book is _delightful and refreshing readings_, and
a great rest after the crowded artistic effects and the conventional
interests of even the better kind of English novels."--_London
Spectator._
"As a picture of rural life, we think this novel of Mr. Taylor's excels
any of his previous productions."--_N. Y. Evening Post._
"A tale of absorbing interest."--_Syracuse Standard._
=IV. JOSEPH AND HIS FRIEND.= A Story of Pennsylvania. 12mo, cloth, $2.
Household edition. $1 50
"In Hayard Taylor's happiest vein."--_Buffalo Express._
"By far the best novel of the season."--_Cleveland Leader._
=V. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and TALES OF HOME.= 12mo, cloth, $1.75.
Household edition. $1 50

BAYARD TAYLOR'S TRAVELS.
=ELDORADO;= or, Adventures in the Path of Empire (Mexico and California).
12mo, $2. Household edition. $1 50
"To those who have more recently pitched their tents in California, the
narrative of Taylor will have interest as assisting them to appreciate
the wondrous changes that have been effected in this region since
the days of turmoil, excitement, and daring speculation of which the
tourist speaks."--_Sacramento Union._
=CENTRAL AFRICA.= Life and Landscape from Cairo to the White Nile. Two
plates and cuts 12mo, $2. Household edition. $1 50
"We have read many of Bayard Taylor's readable books--and he never
wrote one that was not extremely interesting--but we have never been
so well pleaded with any of his writings as we are with the volume now
before us, 'A Journey to Central Africa.'"--_Binghamton Republican._
