The great popularity of “An Attic Philosopher in Paris,” by ÉMILE SOUVESTRE, has led the publishers to prepare this fine illustrated edition, uniform with the illustrated edition of “Colette.” For this volume a large number of full-page and vignette illustrations have been made by the French artist JEAN CLAUDE, the illustrator of “Colette.” A rich binding has been specially designed, and this volume, considering the fine literary quality of the text and the daintiness of the book’s appearance, will be found to possess a permanent value. “A delightful bit of French sentiment. The poor and unfortunate are represented as making the best of their miserable surroundings, helping each other with unselfish zeal, and a rose-colored light is thrown over many a disagreeable situation. The tone is wholesome and helpful, and many passages are full of pathos. There is, too, an enthusiasm for country, for the growth and glory of France, which is charming.”—_Portland Transcript._ “From his loophole of retreat in a garret the philosopher peeps at the world and moralizes wisely, in a spirit of gentle humanity, and without a touch of cynicism. A very bright and wholesome piece of writing, and well worth the translating.”—_Christian Register._ “Made up of simple incidents and observations growing therefrom, the attic philosopher finds plenty of material on which to train his pretty sentiments like vines upon a trellis.... Humanity will suffer nothing by the perusal of this little book.”—_Chicago Evening Journal._ _THE HOUSEHOLD BOOK OF POETRY._ Edited by CHARLES A. DANA. Entirely new edition, from new type, with nearly two hundred additional poems. Steel engravings. Square 8vo. Cloth, gilt, $5.00. “When the first edition of ‘The Household Book of Poetry’ was published by Mr. Dana in 1857, no other collection could so much as aspire to rival it. Since then we have had Bryant’s collection and Emerson’s collection, both by poets of fame, and both presumably eclipsing the effort of a writer who is not, so far as the world knows, a poet. Nevertheless Mr. Dana’s collection remains the best of the three. The book deservedly keeps the lead in popular favor which it took at the start.”—_New York Times._ “Every intelligent reader and student of poetry has of course his own favorites, but we are safe in saying that no popular anthology is so well calculated as this to gratify and instruct the general public, or to provide for the genuine lover of verse so much that is good and worthy of preservation.”—_Boston Traveller._
