Massachusetts -- Periodicals; New England -- Periodicals
By MRS. FRANCES A. HUMPHREY. Very fully illustrated. This choice volume
contains Dean Stanley's famous Christmas Sermons to children, a
beautiful account of the Dean's own life as a boy at home, and at Rugby,
his relations with other boys, and also much entertaining matter
relating to the celebrated English schools at Rugby and Westminster, and
to the Abbey itself. It is illustrated with portraits, views of various
Abbey interiors, sketches of Westminster and Rugby boys, and other fine
engravings, historical and modern. It also gives as an introduction to
the five charming sermons a fine chapter by Canon Farrar, regarding the
Dean in the pulpit, as both writer and orator, with a touching account
of the delivery of his last sermon, _12mo_, $1.00.
Double Masquerade (A).
By REV. CHAS. R. TALBOT. Illustrated by Share, Merrill, and Taylor. A
stirring romance of the American Revolution, with illustrations made
from careful studies of old Boston. The portion describing the battle of
Bunker Hill, as seen by the boys, has been said to be one of the most
graphic and telling accounts ever written of that famous conflict.
_Extra cloth, 12mo_, $1.25.
Hedge Fence (A).
By PANSY. Here is a story of the haps and mishaps of the typical boy
whose purposes are good, but whose impetuosity plunges him into all
kinds of mischief, as the boy himself expresses it, "before he knows
it." One of the boys of this book, ruefully reflecting on the results of
a boyish scrape, wishes for something like a hedge fence to keep him
from running into trouble. In a manner which will be delightfully
entertaining and helpful to all boys (and girls for that matter), Pansy
tells us how the hero of her story found a hedge which stood between him
and mischief. The book will benefit and please every boy who reads it,
or to whom it is read. _16mo, 60 cents_.
History of the United States in Rhyme.
By EGBERT C. ADAMS, author of "The History of England in Rhyme," "On
Board the Rocket," etc. Attractively written. It will assist all young
people to fix important events of American history in their memory.
_16mo, cloth, 60 cents_.
How They went to Europe.
By MARGARET SIDNEY. Gives numberless suggestions for the entertaining of
young people on the long winter evenings, stimulating them in the idle
hours, and drawing them within the sweet, healthful atmosphere of home.
_16mo, illustrated_, $1.00.
Milly's Little Wanderer.
By MRS. SUSIE A. BISBEE, author of "Daisy Green Stories." The scene of
this story is laid in the most picturesque of New England surroundings,
and the book abounds in sprightly incidents, while holding steadily to
its moral and spiritual purpose. _12mo_, $1.25.
New Year's Tangles, AND OTHER STORIES.
By PANSY. Very fully illustrated. Fresh, instructive, and entertaining,
