The Spiritual Significance
or, Death as an Event in Life
By LILIAN WHITING. Author of "The World Beautiful," "Boston Days,"
etc. 16mo. Cloth, $1.00. Decorated cloth, gilt top, $1.25.
Comprising: THE SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE; VISION AND ACHIEVEMENT;
BETWEEN THE SEEN AND THE UNSEEN; PSYCHIC COMMUNICATION; THE GATES
OF NEW LIFE.
It suggests and hints at the ultimate significance of scientific
investigation with relation to the totality of thought in a very fresh
and suggestive way.... The spirit of her book, like that of its
predecessors, is admirable.--_The Outlook_.
A book from her pen means new flashes of insight, a revelation of
spiritual truth almost Emersonian in kind.--_Chicago Chronicle_.

The World Beautiful
in Books
By LILIAN WHITING. 16mo. Cloth, $1.00 _net_. Decorated cloth, $1.25
_net_.
The careful and repeated reading of "The World Beautiful in Books" would
be a liberal education.--_Philadelphia Telegraph_.
It is like a Greek urn filled with priceless relics. Hundreds of brains,
ancient and modern, are daintily picked of their best thoughts, and
there is scarcely a page that is not enriched with some rifled treasure.
It is, in fact, concentrated food for select minds.--_Chicago Post_.
To read it is like being taken informally into a great assemblage of
poets, romancers, and thinkers, while all are at their best, and being
introduced to them by a near friend of all.--_The Era_, Philadelphia.
