The Little Princess of Tower Hill. By L. T. Meade. 12mo, cloth,
illustrated, price 75 cents.
"This is one of the prettiest books for children published, as pretty
as a pond-lily, and quite as fragrant. Nothing could be imagined more
attractive to young people than such a combination of fresh pages and
fair pictures; and while children will rejoice over it--which is much
better than crying for it--it is a book that can be read with pleasure
even by older boys and girls."--Boston Advertiser.
For sale by all booksellers, or sent postpaid on receipt of price by the
publisher, A. L. BURT, 52-58 Duane Street, New York.

BOOKS FOR GIRLS.
Rosy. By Mrs. Molesworth. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75 cents.
Mrs. Molesworth, considering the quality and quantity of her labors,
is the best story-teller for children England has yet known.
"This is a very pretty story. The writer knows children, and their
ways well. The illustrations are exceedingly well drawn."--Spectator.
Esther: A Book for Girls. By Rosa N. Carey. 12mo, cloth, illustrated,
price $1.00.
"She inspires her readers simply by bringing them in contact with the
characters, who are in themselves inspiring. Her simple stories are
woven in order to give her an opportunity to describe her characters
by their own conduct in seasons of trial."--Chicago Times.
Sweet Content. By Mrs. Molesworth. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75
cents.
"It seems to me not at all easier to draw a lifelike child than to
draw a lifelike man or woman: Shakespeare and Webster were the only
two men of their age who could do it with perfect delicacy and
success. Our own age is more fortunate, on this single score at least,
having a larger and far nobler proportion of female writers; among
whom, since the death of George Eliot, there is none left whose touch
is so exquisite and masterly, whose love is so thoroughly according to
knowledge, whose bright and sweet invention is so fruitful, so
truthful, or so delightful as Mrs. Molesworth's."--A. C. Swinbourne.
Honor Bright; or, The Four-Leaved Shamrock. By the author of "Miss
Toosey's Mission." 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price $1.00.
"It requires a special talent to describe the sayings and doings of
children, and the author of 'Honor Bright,' 'One of a Covey,'
possesses that talent in no small degree. A cheery, sensible, and
healthy tale."--The Times.
The Cuckoo Clock. By Mrs. Molesworth. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, price 75
cents.
"A beautiful little story. It will be read with delight by every child
into whose hands it is placed.... The author deserves all the praise
that has been, is, and will be bestowed on 'The Cuckoo Clock.'
Children's stories are plentiful, but one like this is not to be met
with every day."--Pall Mall Gazette.
