This book will supply a demand for a life of Washington, the man, of
convenient size, popular, including the latest results of research,
planned according to the methods of the new school of history, and
containing illustrations of almost every available subject which the
story includes. Mrs. Seelye’s book is always interesting, and it is
not encumbered with superfluous details. It is uniform with “The Story
of Columbus,” by the same author.
_HERMINE’S TRIUMPHS._ A Story for Girls and Boys. By MADAME COLOMB. With
100 Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
The popularity of this charming story of French home life, which has
passed through many editions in Paris, has been earned by the sustained
interest of the narrative, the sympathetic presentation of character,
and the wholesomeness of the lessons which are suggested. One of the
most delightful books for girls published in recent years. It is bound
uniformly with “Straight On.”
_STRAIGHT ON._ A Story of a Boy’s School-life in France. By the author of
“The Story of Colette.” With 86 Illustrations by Edouard Zier. 320 pages.
8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
“It is long since we have encountered a story for children
which we can recommend more cordially. It is good all through
and in every respect.”—_Charleston News and Courier._
“A healthful tale of a French school-boy who suffers the
usual school-boy persecution, and emerges from his troubles a
hero. The illustrations are bright, and well drawn, and the
translation is excellently done.”—_Boston Commercial Bulletin._
“A real story-book of the sort which is difficult to lay down,
having once begun it. It is fully illustrated and handsomely
bound.”—_Buffalo Courier._
“The story is one of exceptional merit, and its delightful
interest never flags.”—_Chicago Herald._
ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF “COLETTE.”
_THE STORY OF COLETTE_, a new, large-paper edition. With 36
Illustrations. 8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
The great popularity which this book has attained in its smaller form
has led the publishers to issue an illustrated edition, with thirty-six
original drawings by Jean Claude, both vignette and full-page.
“This is a capital translation of a charming novel. It is
bright, witty, fresh, and humorous. ‘The Story of Colette’ is
a fine example of what a French novel can be, and all should
be.”—_Charleston News and Courier._
“Colette is French and the story is French, and both are
exceedingly pretty. The story is as pure and refreshing as the
innocent yet sighing gayety of Colette’s life.”—_Providence
Journal._
