INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY. FROM RECOLLECTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD.
Wordsworth's sublime Ode. It was a happy thought which led to the
presentation of this favorite masterpiece of England's former Poet
Laureate, as it here appears with full-page illustrations, by Hassam,
Garrett, Lungren, Miss Humphrey, Taylor, St. John Harper and Smedley.
This immortal poem in its setting of beautiful pictures is adorned as
with gems. 8vo, cloth, $2.00. Turkey morocco, $5.00.
IDEAL POEMS. This exquisite volume occupies an enviable place among
popular illustrated gift-books, and deservedly so. From the wide range
of English poetry, there have been selected with rare discrimination
twelve worthy the title of "Ideal." It is not too much to say that those
chosen most fitly represent the immortal poems upon which popular
judgment has set its seal of approval. For the illustration of these a
dozen celebrated artists have contributed beautiful full-page drawings.
The work of the printer and binder is faultless, and the result is a
book which is in every respect gratifying to the taste of the most
exacting. Elegant floral binding, $3.00. Turkey morocco, $6.00.
AMERICA, OUR NATIONAL HYMN, AND OTHER PATRIOTIC POEMS. By Rev. S.F.
Smith, D.D. For fifty years this peerless hymn has held its place in the
hearts of the American people as their most cherished patriotic song.
This superb volume, in which it is enshrined with all the beauty and
elegance possible in the art of the bookmaker, fitly commemorates its
semi-centennial. In addition to the hymn "America," the volume contains
twelve new patriotic poems by its author, none of which have hitherto
been given to the public save on the great occasions when they have been
read to delighted multitudes. Among the titles of these poems are "The
Pilgrims," "The Flag In Nature," "The Flag an Emblem," "Washington,"
"Centennial Hymn," "Lexington 1776-1876," "Decoration Day," "The Sleep
of the Brave," "Our Young Patriots," "Abraham Lincoln," "The Boys," "My
Native Land." Extra cloth, full gilt, $3.00. Morocco binding, $6.00.
