=D LOTHROP COMPANY. Publishers, Boston, U. S. A.=
=Wide Awake, 1887.=
Volumes W and X. 4to, boards, 1.75 a volume—cloth, 2.25.
“The files we have had bound are so popular as to be in
danger of being literally read to pieces; and, knowing
well that the new ones will meet the same treatment,
we earnestly hope that the time will never come when
it will be impossible to replace them; for they are a
source of too much enjoyment and benefit to our young
people to be allowed to get out of print—that would be
a great misfortune.”
_—Extract from letter of the Librarian of the Morse
Institute, Natick, Mass., ordering the first nineteen
volumes of_ WIDE AWAKE.
One in a dozen families—no, not so many—one in a
hundred eats good food. About as many read good books.
And yet the proportion of good eating and reading is
quite as high in this as in any country. The fact is
some good food is a little dry. Good reading is never
peppery. We are losing our capacity for enjoyment of
both when we crave unwholesome stimulants.
_Wide Awake_ is one of those rare collections varied
and bright enough to engage the common reader and good
enough to lead the capable reader to higher pleasures
and benefits.
Volume W contains: a yachting story, by Charles R.
Talbot; Peggy and her Family, by Margaret Sidney;
Pamela’s Fortune, by Lucy C. Lillie; Pocahontas and
Rolfe, by Mrs. Blathwayt; Turkish Childhood, by Hon. S.
S. Cox; Some Nantucket Children, by Mrs. Macy; stories
of early American warfare; no end of short stories and
sketches, poems, engravings, etc.
Volume X is equally full and fine. The two volumes make
the year. The covers are bright and beautiful.
=Boys and Girls’ Annual 1888.=
4to, cloth, 3.00.
A big book of short stories and long; good many of
both; and bright ones all of them, long or short. The
secret is: they are out of _Wide Awake_. Pictures
besides.
=Dame Heraldry.=
By F. S. W. Illustrated by nine full-page colored illustrations and
numerous engravings. 8vo, cloth, 2.50.
