"There is about these poems an air of trusting faith, of gentle tenderness, as if of one who, soaring upon the confines of a better life, had longed to leave some sweet remembrance here. They stand forth from the way-side of poetic literature like some peaceful chapel robed in ivy, where the dead are strewn with flowers, and the living steal in the shadows of the evening to seek a rest from weariness and pain."--_Inter-Ocean._ FOYE.--Tables for the Determination and Classification of Minerals Found in the United States. By James C. Foye, A.M., Professor of Chemistry and Physics, Lawrence University, Appleton, Wisconsin. "Following Dana, our chief American authority, and gathering aid from various distinguished European writers, this brief manual aims to furnish the student with such help as is needed in order to determine and classify the minerals of the United States. Some useful hints as to apparatus, and suitable notes upon other matters, precede the tables."--_Journal of Education._ GILES.--Out from the Shadows. A Novel; by Miss Ella A. Giles. "Miss Giles' first work has had a very large sale, and has attracted the attention of readers and critics throughout the country. Her second book gives evidence of the ripening powers of the authoress, and shows the improvement which she has made as a writer, and a mastery of style and effect which are really uncommon."--_Milwaukee News._ "The characters are all well conceived, and the story is pleasantly written." _Inter-Ocean._ GILES.--Bachelor Ben. A Novel; by Miss Ella A. Giles. "A story of great descriptive and analytic mastery. * * A master-piece of free and natural handling of human life, and marks a new departure in fiction, in that the hero never marries, and the author has attempted to group the sympathies of readers about an unconventional man."--_Home Journal_ (New York). "The book is refreshingly guiltless of all superfluous characters. The tone is good throughout. The moral apparent."--_Chicago Times._ HALL.--Poems of the Farm and Fireside. By Eugene J. Hall. "In vigor and pathos they are certainly equal--we should say superior--to Carleton's Farm Ballads; in humor scarcely inferior to the Biglow Papers."--_Interior._ "There is a nobility of mind even among the toilers of the land too often overlooked, and for this reason we like the flavor of these poems, because they smell of the field and forest, as well as portray the inner life of society at the fireside."--_Pittsburgh Commercial._ HEWITT.--"Our Bible." Three Lectures, delivered at Unity Church, Oak Park, Ill., by Rev. J. O. M. Hewitt.
