=Alaska.= (MISS R. SCIDMORE.) A well written and
exceedingly interesting volume. Miss Scidmore's
descriptions of the various places she visited and the
curious things she saw are vivid and picturesque, and
one can learn more of both from her pages than from
all the official reports that have been published. It
is a book that ought to have a wide popularity. It is
well illustrated and contains a map reduced from the
last general chart of Alaska published by the Coast
Survey.--_Lancaster_ (Ohio) _Gazette._
The author has a bright and pleasant style, and
has the advantage of describing regions which are
little known and ill understood. There are numerous
illustrations.--_Boston Journal._
A pleasant book, well suited for popular circulation
and a people's library; thoroughly entertaining as well
as instructive.--_Boston Beacon._
=Dean Stanley with the Children.= The beautiful book
now in hand will make a good many children and young
people familiar with the name and work of the good Dean
of Westminster.--_Chicago Standard._
The sermons here given are full of exquisite
tenderness, and form admirable models for discourses
of like character. Canon Farrar says that there was
not one sermon ever preached by Dean Stanley which did
not contain at least some one bright, and fresh, and
rememberable thing. Mrs. Humphrey's sketch not only
gives us an excellent idea of the man himself, but
also tells us many interesting things about the great
English public schools.--_Zion's Herald._
In this charming book the author makes us feel the
presence of that character so dear to all who know
him--Arthur Stanley, Dean of Westminster. Even from
his gentle childhood his life was devoted to Christian
truth and Christian history, and this volume with its
information concerning the illustrious dead, who lies
in Westminster, and its sermons to children is one that
every Christian mother will delight to read with her
boys.--_Springfield_ (Ill.) _Register._
An admirable gift book for young people is Mrs.
Humphrey's volume entitled Dean Stanley with the
Children.--_Boston Advertiser._
The book has a singularly beautiful moral influence
which commends it to parents.--_Boston Globe._
Every mother will be glad to add this little book to
the children's library, for the record it contains of
the life of a strong and noble character.--_New Bedford
Standard._
It is in every sense a timely as well as excellent
contribution to biographical literature.--_Cleveland
Leader._
Mrs. Humphrey's book _Dean Stanley with the Children_,
is a book so winsome that old and young readers cannot
fail to find it fascinating.--_Boston Traveller._
