"It is an account in poetic form of an Alpine mountain, beginning with its birth, describing its form, appearance, grandeur, its relations to man physically and metaphysically, and ending with the probable ending of the mountain. It is one of the most successful of recent attempts to wed science and poetry."--_Albany Journal._ Memories of the Men who Saved the Union. By DONN PIATT. "Piatt's sketches of the great coterie of men mentioned are of absorbing interest, and no one who takes up the book will lay it down without obtaining new ideas of the character and motives of those so high in place during the rebellion"--_Quincy Whig._ "They are the interesting recollections of one who was personally acquainted with the illustrious men of whom he has written, and who had, as well officially as socially, opportunities of studying the character of each, of which he has availed himself in writing one of the ablest books we have had the pleasure to welcome from America."--_Westminster Review._ The Lone Grave of the Shenandoah. By DONN PIATT. "Eminently original, they are delightful to read. So extraordinary a compound of poetry and practicality as our author, if sought through the world, could not probably be found."--_Washington Post._ "They are sketches, quaint, delicate, humorous, fanciful, examples of the art of short story-writing in its perfection."--_Chicago News._ The Protective Tariff: What it Does for Us. By HERMAN LIEB. "It is clear in style and argument, taking strong ground for the immediate reduction of war taxes and the putting of the nation on a peace footing as regards the necessities of life for the common people."--_Michigan Courier._ Life of Emperor William I., the Founder of the German Empire. By HERMAN LIEB. "General Lieb has done historical literature a great service in giving it a life of one of the greatest rulers of the nineteenth century. It is printed on good paper, in clear type, and profusely illustrated. An edition is also issued in the German language for those who want the history of their fatherland in their own tongue."--_New London Telegram._ Henry Ward Beecher, Christian Philosopher, Pulpit Orator, Patriot, and Philanthropist. Illustrated with a biographical sketch by THOS. W. HANDFORD. "As a pulpit orator he was during life the peer of any living, and his utterances will go on converting men, and fitting them for earth and heaven. As a patriot, loving his country, and willing to make any sacrifice for its sustenance and upbuilding, he was at all times conspicuous."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ "It is much for a man worthy of a biography that he should fall into the hands of a congenial spirit, and that the biography should be a labor of love."--_Chicago Herald._ Dinnerology. By "Pan."
