JUST PUBLISHED _THE MOST POPULAR BOOK OF THE SEASON._ RUDDER GRANGE, By FRANK R. STOCKTON. _One Volume, Square 12mo, Cloth, $1.25._ =THE RUDDER GRANGE PAPERS=--which have been so keenly enjoyed by the readers of SCRIBNER, that the doings of their hero and heroine are already laughingly quoted in hundreds of households--are now published in book form. The adventures of Mr. Stockton’s young couple in solving the problem of housekeeping on a small income, and the ingenuity of their devices, are as irresistible as the capital quiet humor with which they are told. Euphemia’s naivete and intense seriousness, and her absolutely woman-like way of approaching every question, are so perfectly typical, too, that she alone is enough to have made “Rudder Grange” famous. All of the little household are hardly less excellent than this inimitable character; Pomona, the servant who looks at life through the medium of dime-novels, being almost as worthy of an enduring celebrity as her mistress. ⁂ _The above book for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent, prepaid, upon receipt of price, by_ CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, PUBLISHERS, 743 AND 745 BROADWAY, NEW YORK. A NEW BOOK By the Author of “That Lass o’ Lowrie’s.” SURLY TIM AND OTHER STORIES. BY MRS. FRANCES HODGSON BURNETT, _Author of “That Lass o’ Lowrie’s.”_ One volume, small 12mo. Cloth extra, $1.25. The volume includes eight of Mrs. Burnett’s shorter stories which have appeared in the magazines during the last few years. It is needless to say that these have been among the most popular tales that have lately been written. _Surly Tim_ (told in Lancashire dialect), which gives the title to the book, is perhaps better known than any short story yet published in SCRIBNER’S. The present collection, including _Esmeralda_, _Lodusky_, _Le Monsieur de la Petite Dame_, etc., shows that the author can be successful in other scenes than those, the treatment of which has gained her so much critical praise and such wide popularity. CRITICAL NOTICES. “They are powerful and pathetic stories, and will touch the sympathies of all readers.”--_The Commonwealth, Boston._ “A good service has been rendered to all lovers of good fiction by the publication of these stories in this permanent form.”--_The Evening Mail._ Mrs. Burnett has made for herself a reputation which places her in the front rank of female novelists.”--_The Baptist Weekly._ “The authoress has taken her place as one of the best novelists of our time, and these stories are interesting as showing the steps up which she has ascended to her acknowledged eminence.”--_The Advance._
