Lotteries; New England -- Social life and customs
The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing
for artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted
for the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building
of the Connecticut State Capitol. This possesses perhaps even a higher
interest than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public
building, and not an appendage of an institution.
_The American Architect_ says: "The execution of the work is all that
could be asked. It would be hard to offer a more encouraging example of
the kind of work to be expected in this series."
_A STROLL WITH KEATS._ By FRANCES CLIFFORD BROWN. 1 vol. Illustrated.
Square 16mo. $1.50.
One of the choicest gems of art in illustration, consisting of
illuminated pages, in beautiful designs, illustrating some of the finest
verses of the great English poet.
_NEXT DOOR._ By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, Author of "Dearly Bought," "A Sane
Lunatic," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
One of the brightest, prettiest, and most charming tales yet offered to
the public. The scene is in Boston, the time the present, the plot
exciting, the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and
skilful.
_POETS AND PROBLEMS._ By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Author of "Emerson; His
Life, Writings and Philosophy." 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.
Mr. Cooke brings to his work the most inexhaustible and painstaking
patience, the most thorough devotion to the labor he has undertaken, and
the deepest mental sympathy with his subjects. His present work embraces
Tennyson, Ruskin, and Browning.
_THE SPHINX'S CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S._ By ROSE TERRY COOKE, Author
of "Somebody's Neighbors," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
This volume of short stories, reprinted from the author's contributions
to the "_Atlantic,_" "_Harper's,_" "_The Galaxy,_" &c., will be found
like "Somebody's Neighbors," to show "that profound insight into Puritan
character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs.
Cooke has but one equal, and no superior. These exquisite chronicles are
full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is
attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous
and spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic
skill."
_THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE._ The Lectures at the Concord School of
Philosophy for 1885. Edited by F.B. SANBORN and W.T. HARRIS. 1 vol.
12mo. With 2 portraits. $2.00.
