In this book, which is characterized by rare brilliancy
of expression, beauty of thought, and tenderness and
pathos in sentiment, and which is withal as intensely
interesting as any recent work of prose fiction, the
accomplished author presents a poem based upon the
Rabbinic legends that Eve was not Adam's first wife,
but that she had a predecessor in the world's first
Eden, who bore the name of "Lilith." The poem, based
upon these legends, cannot fail to establish the
writer's reputation as an exceptionally able writer of
verse, a reputation which she has already gained as a
writer of prose.
=Boy Life in the United States Navy.=
=By H. H. Clark.= 12mo, ILLUSTRATED, $1.50.
If there is anything in the way of human attire which
more than any other commands the admiration and
stirs the enthusiasm of the average boy of whatever
nation, it is the trim uniform and shining buttons
that distinguish the jolly lads of the "Navy." In
this graphically written and wonderfully entertaining
volume, boy life in the Navy of the United States is
described by a navy officer, in a manner which cannot
fail to satisfy the boys.
=Memorial of Rev. Warren H. Cudworth.=
=By His Sister=; WITH PORTRAIT, 380 PAGES, $1.50.
Simply told and remarkably interesting is this story of
the life of one of the most saintly of Christian men.
It will be welcomed and read with satisfaction by all
who knew him. Those who never saw him, cannot fail to
be stimulated by its suggestive thought.
=Money in Politics.=
=By Hon. J. K. Upton.= LATE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES
TREASURY EXTRA CLOTH, TOP. 12mo, $1.25.
This volume presents a complete history of money, or
the circulating medium, in the United States, from the
colonial days to the present time. Mr. Edward Atkinson,
in his introduction, pronounces it the most valuable
work of the kind yet published.
=Baccalaureate Sermons.=
=By Rev. A. P. Peabody, D. D. LL. D.= 12mo, $1.25.
These sermons, delivered before the graduating classes
of Harvard University, it is safe to say, are not
excelled by any production of their kind. They are not
only rarely appropriate, as discourses addressed to
educated young men upon the threshold of active life,
but are models of logical thought and graceful rhetoric
worthy the study of all ministers.

From original MSS. It will be published by D. Lothrop &
Co., in advance of the publication in England.
