“That Mr. Meredith is a master of his art, and a master of the highest qualities, is unquestionable. That his popularity will ever be as great as is that of many less gifted artists may be doubted; but among the refined and thoughtful, among those who recognize and appreciate what is most artistic in art, among those who have studied and know men and women, and who feel the charm of brilliant literary style as exercised by an original thinker and a man of uncommon genius, George Meredith will always hold an unassailable position.”—_Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston._ GOLDEN MEDIOCRITY. A Novel. By Mrs. EUGENIE HAMERTON. 16mo. $1.00; paper covers, 50 cents. Mrs. Hamerton is the “Eugenie” to whom her husband dedicated his book, “The Intellectual Life.” “She paints a scene in which modesty, simplicity, frugality, and fine culture combine to make a home free from ostentation, and full of those domestic virtues which we are so slow to associate with French family life.”—_Christian Register._ “It must be said of Mrs. Hamerton’s characters that they are far beyond the golden mediocrity of clearness and naturalness. The reader accepts them unfalteringly; they are real and living beings, human but alive.”—_N. Y. Graphic._ AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS Of Giovanni Duprè. Translated from the Italian by E. M.

The book is translated from the Italian by Edith Marion Story (Mme. Peruzzi), daughter of our brilliant sculptor, poet, writer, and talker, Story.”—_Miss Brewster’s Correspondence from Rome._ THE SERVICES OF WASHINGTON. An Address before the School Children of Boston, in the Old South Meeting House, Feb. 22, 1886. By WILLIAM EVERETT. 16mo. Paper covers. 15 cents. “William Everett’s ‘Address on the Services of Washington’ is a production of marked originality; and while not lacking in eloquence, its beauty and value consist not so much in rhetorical flourishes and glittering generalities,—common enough on such occasions,—as in the impressive manner in which the true secret of Washington’s greatness is set forth, and his excellence of character commended as an example to youth.”—_Alton Telegraph._ SUSANNA WESLEY.
