WILD FLOWERS AND WHERE THEY GROW. The pages of this book will be
attractive to all lovers of nature. The author, Amanda B. Harris,
possesses the secret of interpreting nature in a thoroughly natural way.
Mothers will take delight in reading the volume to or with their little
ones, in whose lives they will see repeated the unalloyed happiness
which came to them in the midst of their own childhood ramblings in
fields and meadows. The illustrations are admirable in design and
execution. 8vo, extra cloth, beveled edges, $3.00. Turkey Morocco,
Antique, gilt edges, $6.00.
OUT OF DARKNESS. Few among American women of to-day bid fair to attain
such enviable distinction as that promised to Miss Mary A. Lathbury. She
has not only won high reputation as a writer of hymns and songs, full of
poetical fervor and exalted spiritual sentiment, but has also gained
high success as an artist in connection with book illustrations. This
elegant volume gives evidence of the author's unusual gifts. Its eight
poems, interpretations of the inner life, are illustrated by the author
with eight masterly full-page drawings, and twenty exquisite vignettes,
printed on heavy plate paper. Quarto, elegant floral covers, $3.00.
Cloth, gilt edges, $3.00.
A ROMANCE IN SONG. HEINE'S LYRICAL INTERLUDE. With the appreciation
shown by American readers for all that is best in literature, it must be
confessed that due attention has yet to be given to the remarkable works
of the poet Heine. Mr. Franklin Johnson has conferred a boon upon the
public, and will do much to remedy this seeming neglect, by the pleasing
and altogether excellent, scholarly translation of this choice literary
gem. A chapter of autobiography, the most romantic in the life of the
poet, in itself full of interest, it is made additionally attractive by
chaste and appropriate illustrations furnished by artists of highest
note. Uniform with "Ideal Poems," 8vo, $3.00.
