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.
What's Mine's Mine.
=By George MacDonald=, AUTHOR OF "ANNALS OF A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD,"
"DONAL GRANT," ETC. 12mo, CLOTH, $1.50.
From original MSS. It will be published by D. Lothrop & Co., in advance
of the publication in England.
Boys' Heroes.
=By Edward Everett Hale.= READING UNION LIBRARY. 16mo,
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, $1.00.
This handsome volume unites the charm of the _Arabian Nights_ with
the solid value of an Encyclopædia. In its twelve chapters, Dr. Hale
gives careful and definite account of a dozen famous characters the
boys of all ages have agreed to regard as heroes, but about whom their
information is often neither full nor accurate.
Japan and its Leading Men.
=By Charles Lanman.= NEW EDITION, ILLUSTRATED. 12mo, $1.50.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
