It aims to give some of the most awakening and inspiring words
of the great and good of all ages, and contains quotations from
Browning and Phillips Brooks, from Robertson and Channing and
Fénelon. The writer is catholic enough to include selections
from James Martineau and Newman, and has been especially happy
in finding new quotations both in prose and verse for her little
volume.—_Boston Transcript._
A book of devotional thoughts for daily use, of a much higher order
than common.—_New York Evening Post._
Flowers and Fruit
From the writings of HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. 16mo, $1.00.
This little book has been prepared with much intelligence and care,
and includes a large number of striking and quotable passages from
Mrs. Stowe’s various works. They form a book of quite remarkable
variety, admirable for brief leisure moments. Side titles are
inserted in the text for each quotation, so that one can see at a
glance what is the subject of each of the selections.
After Noontide.
Selected and edited by MARGARET E. WHITE. 16mo, $1.00.
A book containing passages designed to add sunshine and comfort to
the afternoon of life. The selections are from numerous writers, of
widely differing schools of literature and religion, but are rendered
harmonious by the spirit of cheerful acceptance of the peculiar
blessings which advancing years bring, and the recognition of the
fact that though some burdens and infirmities may accompany these
years, yet they are, or at least may be, full of cheer, of pleasant
memories, and of serene hope.
