Brooks. 12mo, cloth, illustrated, $1.50 The story of "the wonderful century"--its progress, its achievements, its inventions, its development and its results--is here presented in a connected, simple, straightforward narrative, showing, as its main purpose, the progress of the people out of limitation to enlightenment, out of serfdom to independence, out of selfishness to nationality, out of absolutism to liberty. Chapter by chapter, it is an absorbing and often dramatic story, told by one who has made a study of popularizing history. In Blue and White A Story of the American Revolution One volume, 8vo, illustrated by Merrill, $1.50 This stirring story of the Revolution details the adventures of one of Washington's famous lifeguards, who is a college mate of Alexander Hamilton, and a personal follower of Washington. It is based upon a notable and dangerous conspiracy against the life of Washington in the early days of the Revolution, and introduces such famous characters as Washington, Hamilton, Greene, and Nathan Hale. It is a splendid book for boys and girls. Eben Holden. A Tale of the North Country. By IRVING BACHELLER, author of "A Master of Silence." 12mo, cloth, gilt top, rough edges. $1.50. A refreshing story of the "plain people" of country and town. The "North Country" is the farm-land of St. Lawrence County in Northern New York. Uncle Eb,--hero, "hired-man" and border philanthropist--is a lover of animals, of nature and of all creation. The scene shifts to New York in war time, and the story of the rout at Bull Run is unsurpassed in realism. Altogether it is one of the brightest and most popular of recent books, for it appeals to that love of mingling sentiment and humor that all men and women like. The Last of the Flatboats.
