appropriate design. Price, $1.00.
“A calendar with a handsome illuminated background of scarlet,
blue, and gold, containing a fine collection of bits from
the best French literature of modern and olden times, all

IMAGINATION IN LANDSCAPE PAINTING.
By PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON. An elegant folio volume, fully illustrated,
and bound in cloth. Gilt. $6.50. (Limited edition.)
“A richly illustrated folio, of especial interest to students
of art, and, it might be added, to students of mental
philosophy; for the imaginative faculty is here investigated
quite as much as are its bearings on the painter’s art. Mr.
Hamerton even goes into the distinctions between fancy and
imagination,—a labyrinth in which Ruskin once confessed himself
as good as lost.”—_Commercial Gazette, Cincinnati._
REYNARD THE FOX.
After the German Version of Goethe. By THOMAS JAMES ARNOLD, Esq. With 60
woodcut illustrations from the original designs of William Von Kaulbach,
and 12 full-page etchings by Fox, from designs by Joseph Wolf. One
handsome super-royal 8vo volume. Bound in half seal morocco. Cloth sides.
Gilt top. $9.00.
“The illustrations are wonderful studies in animal expression,
and convey a meaning no less sharp than that of the poem
itself. Their humor is of the grotesque variety, but it is
nevertheless a rich humor.… The volume is sumptuously printed,
and is a standard edition of one of the world’s most celebrated
books.”—_N. Y. Tribune._
TWO PILGRIMS’ PROGRESS
From Fair Florence to the Eternal City of Rome. Delivered Under the
Similitude of a Ride, Wherein is Discovered, The Manner of Their Setting

“And behold, they wrought a work on the wheels.”—JER. xviii. 3.
By JOSEPH and ELIZABETH ROBINS PENNELL. With illustrations by Joseph
Pennell. 12mo. $2.00. Paper covers, 50 cents.
“The whole work is pervaded with a sense of the glory of
movement, the buoyancy of open air, the joy of rapid passage
through exquisite scenery. The gayety of spirits is infectious;
and the reader shares, while he envies, the pleasure of the
pilgrims.”—_London Academy._
