"'Memories' is one of the prettiest and worthiest books of the year. The story is full of that indescribable half-naturalness, that effortless vraisemblance, which is so commonly a charm of German writers, and so seldom paralleled in English. * * * Scarcely could there be drawn a more lovely figure than that of the invalid Princess, though it is so nearly pure spirit that earthly touch seems almost to profane her."--_Springfield (Mass.) Republican._ McLANDBURGH.--The Automaton-Ear and Other Sketches. By Miss Florence McLandburgh. Any one of the many who have read "The Man at Crib," "The Automaton-Ear," or "The Anthem of Judea," which have been so widely copied in various periodicals, will look with the highest anticipations to this author, who is no less gifted than she is original and eccentric. SWING.--Truths for To-Day. _First Series._ By Professor David Swing. "The preacher makes no display of his rich resources, but you are convinced that you are listening to a man of earnest thought, of rare culture, and of genuine humanity. His forte is evidently not that of doctrinal discussion. He deals in no nice distinctions of creed. He has no taste for hair-splitting subtleties, but presents a broad and generous view of human duty, appealing to the highest instincts and the purest motives of a lofty manhood."--_New York Tribune._ SWING.--Truths for To-Day. _Second Series._ By Professor David Swing. This volume will contain the latest discourses of Prof. Swing, some of them preached at the Fourth Church, but most of them spoken at the Theatre to the New Central Church. It is universally conceded that these are the finest efforts he has ever made, and the general demand for their preservation in more permanent form than the newspaper reports, has led to their issue in this volume. They are selected, revised and arranged for publication by Prof. Swing himself. SWING.--Trial of Prof. Swing. The _Official Report_ of this important trial. "It constitutes a complete record of one of the most remarkable ecclesiastical trials of modern times."--_Boston Journal._ "This volume will be a precious bit of history twenty-five years hence, and its pages will be read with mingled interest and surprise."--_Golden Age._ End of Project Gutenberg's First Fam'lies of the Sierras, by Joaquin Miller
