Staël, Madame de (Anne-Louise-Germaine), 1766-1817
With Hints on the Stable. By Mrs. POWER O’DONOGHUE, author of “Ladies
on Horseback” and “A Beggar on Horseback.” Very fully illustrated by
A. Chantrey Corbould. Square 12mo. Cloth. Gilt. $3.50. Special English
edition.
So much interest is now being given to horseback-riding
that the publication of this book is very opportune. It is
a collection of useful and practical hints on matters that
pertain to the horse and his management. The instructions given
are of the plainest and easiest description, and are the result
of an experience which has in some instances been dearly bought.
FRANKLIN IN FRANCE.
From Original Documents, most of which are now published for the first
time. By EDWARD E. HALE and EDWARD E. HALE, Jr. With three newly engraved
portraits of Franklin from copies which are now quite rare, and numerous
portrait-illustrations throughout the text. One handsome 8vo volume of
500 pages. Cloth. $3.00.
When Benjamin Franklin died, in 1790, he left to his grandson,
Wm. Temple Franklin, the largest collection of his papers. This
collection, which had been supposed to be irrevocably lost, was
found a few years since on the top shelf of an old tailor’s
shop in St. James, became the property of Mr. Henry Stevens,
and finally of the United States. From this collection and from
other original documents, this life of “Franklin in France” has
been written.
SOME CHINESE GHOSTS.
By LAFCADIO HEARN.
“If ye desire to witness prodigies and to behold marvels,
Be not concerned as to whether the mountains are distant or the
rivers far away.”—_Kin-Kou-Ki-Koan._
CONTENTS: The Soul of the Great Bell; The Story of Ming-Y; The Legend of
Tchi-Niu; The Return of Yen-Tchin-King; The Tradition of the Tea-Plant;
The Tale of the Porcelain-God. 16mo. Cloth. $1.00.
CATHEDRAL DAYS.
A Tour through Southern England. By ANNA BOWMAN DODD. Illustrated from
sketches and photographs by E. Eldon Deane. 12mo. Cloth. $2.00.
“Mrs. Dodd is a most delightful travelling companion. Nothing
in method exactly like “Cathedral Days” is, so far as we know,
to be found in English. We can no more describe its flavor than
we can describe the flavor of a fruit. Nobody who once takes
it up will be willing to put it down until he has absorbed the
whole of it. People who are going to England ought to take
Mrs. Dodd’s book with them. People who must stay at home ought
to read it and enjoy the trip in fancy.”—_N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser._
