“It is such sweet sorrow to say good-by to this astonishing family that one cannot but hope that after the ‘lastly,’ as in some sermons, there will be a ‘finally.’ The entertaining members are now sent into a sort of oblivion; but how nice it would be if it should turn out that they had reunited and had merely gone off into some wilderness to get ready for further campaigning!”—_Boston Advertiser._ IN THE TIME OF ROSES. A Tale of Two Summers, told and illustrated by FLORENCE and EDITH SCANNELL. 12mo. $2.00. “There are in it delightful sketches of child-life and child-character which make it a quite suitable and a very suggestive book for girls. It has been printed and published in artistic fashion, and it would be difficult to imagine anything sweeter or more cunning than some of the pen drawings of children’s faces with which it is illustrated. Altogether, author and artist have worked together with admirable sympathy to produce a charming story.”—_Christian Union._ _Gordon Browne’s Series of Old Fairy Tales_: NO. 1. HOP O’ MY THUMB. NO. 2. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. The Stories Retold by LAURA E. RICHARDS. The drawings by Gordon Browne. 4to. Illuminated paper covers. 40 cents each. “The venerable classics, ‘Hop o’ My Thumb,’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ are retold by Mrs. Richards, and redecorated with pictures by Browne, in a style that gives the youngsters fresh entertainment. The pictures are capital, and compel even the elder readers to renew their long-neglected studies.”—_Home Journal._ * * * * * STANDARD LIBRARY BOOKS SELECTED FROM THE CATALOGUE OF ROBERTS BROTHERS. =Louisa M.
