=Many Colored Threads.= Selections from the writings of Goethe, edited by Carrie Adelaide Cook. Those familiar with the writings of the great German author, and those who know little of them, will be alike interested in this collection of "best thoughts." Eloquence, pathos, romance, philosophy--a wide range of sentiment and feeling, characteristic of the life of Goethe--are revealed in these selections. The book is a worthy companion to the six preceding volumes of the widely-circulated "Spare Minute Series"--"Thoughts that Breathe," Dean Stanley; "Cheerful Words" George MacDonald; "The Might of Right," Gladstone; "True Manliness," Thos. Hughes; "Living Truths," Charles Kingsley; "Right to the Point," Doctor Cuyler. Extra cloth, $1.00. Transcriber's notes Inconsistencies in spelling of proper names retained. Punctuation normalised.
