This pathetic little story was first issued by Mr. Mosher in a privately printed edition of 500 copies and was practically sold out before January 1, 1913. The late Dr. Weir Mitchell in a letter to the owner of the copyright said among other things: "Certainly no more beautiful piece of English has been printed of late years." And again: "May I ask if this lady did not leave other literary products? The one you print is so unusual in style and quality and imagination that after I read it I felt convinced there must be other matter of like character." _II_ Billy and Hans: My Squirrel Friends. A True History By W. J. STILLMAN _950 copies, Fcap 8vo. 75 cents net_ Reprinted from the revised London edition of 1907 by kind permission of Mrs. W. J. Stillman. _III_ Books and the Quiet Life: Being Some Pages from The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft By GEORGE GISSING _950 copies, Fcap 8vo. 75 cents net_ To the lover of what may be called spiritual autobiography, perhaps no other book in recent English literature appeals with so potent a charm as "The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft." It is the highest expression of Gissing's genius--a book that deserves a place on the same shelf with the Journals of De Guérin and Amiel. For the present publication, the numerous passages of the "Papers" relating to books and reading have been brought together and given an external setting appropriate to their exquisite literary flavor. _Mr. Mosher also begs to state that the following new editions are now ready_: _I_ Under a Fool's Cap: Songs By DANIEL HENRY HOLMES _900 copies, Fcap 8vo, old-rose boards. $1.25 net_ For an Appreciation of this book read Mr. Larned's article in the February Century. _II_ Amphora: A Collection of Prose and Verse chosen by the Editor of The Bibelot _925 copies, Fcap 8vo, old-style ribbed boards. $1.75 net_ _The Forum_ for January, in an Appreciation by Mr. Richard Le Gallienne, pays tribute to this book in a most convincing manner. _All books sent postpaid on receipt of price net._ _THOMAS B. MOSHER_ _Portland, Maine_ Nancy The Joyous _By Edith Stow_ For a Lift on the Road to Happiness _read_ Nancy the Joyous A Novel of pure Delight "_Here, at the bend of the road I stop to wave, and to play you a gay little snatch of tune on my pipes, like any other true gypsy._"--_Nancy._
