=How we are Governed.=
=By Anna Laurens Dawes.= 12mo, $1.50.
The task undertaken in this work by the accomplished
daughter of Senator Dawes, has been to present an
explanation of the constitution and government of the
United States, both national, State, and local, in
so simple and clear a way as to offer to the masses
everywhere such an opportunity for their study as
is not afforded by the numerous volumes in which
such information is chiefly to be sought. She has
accomplished her aim with remarkable success, and her
book will have a hearty welcome from the thousands who
appreciate the need of it.
=Lilith: the Legend of the First Woman.=
=By Ada Langworthy Collier.= 12mo, $1.00. GILT EDGES, $1.25.
