American literature -- 19th century -- Periodicals; Sunday schools -- United States -- Periodicals
This book of fresh impressions might well be called
"Sight Drafts on England." It is certainly a mine of
accurate detail. The author is enthusiastic in his
devotion to the facts which escape the ordinary eye,
and brings his materials from the most unfamiliar
sources. His description of the Bank of England, for
instance, is as interesting as it is valuable, and
contains a large amount of information of unusual
freshness.
=Echoes of Many Voices.=
=By E. A. Thurston.= SPARE MINUTE SERIES. 12mo, CLOTH, $1.00.
A carefully arranged collection of wise, witty, and
sentimental excerpts from more than two hundred sources
in all lands and ages, from Confucius to Cable.
=Treasure Thoughts.=
=From Canon Farrar.= SPARE MINUTE SERIES. 12mo, CLOTH, $1.00.
These are vital thoughts that have been gathered by
Rose Porter from Canon Farrar's writings and sermons.
The utterances of the present Archdeacon of Westminster
have been greatly considered by people of all classes,
creeds, and tastes, and this volume is likely to gain
a permanent place in the people's literature. His
sympathetic appreciation of American institutions,
together with his eloquent eulogy of the life and
character of General Grant, recently delivered in
Westminster, have greatly quickened American interest
in all his expressions of opinion, belief and counsel.
This pithy volume is well-named.
