The foreign travels which gave rise to this volume were of a novel and perhaps unprecedented kind. Two young American girls started for "the grand tour" with the father of one of them, and he being compelled to return home from London they were courageous enough to continue their journeyings alone. They spent two years in travel,--going as far north as the North Cape and south to the Nile, and including in their itinerary St. Petersburg and Moscow. Miss Ninde's narrative is written in a fresh and sprightly but unsensational style, which, with the unusual experiences portrayed, renders the work quite unlike the ordinary books of travel. It is a narrative told so naturally and so vividly that the two gentle travellers do not seem to be "alone," but to have taken at least the reader along with them.... It is filled with so many interesting glimpses of sights and scenes in many lands as to render it thoroughly entertaining.--_The Congregationalist, Boston._ As the work of a bright American girl, the book is sure to command wide attention. The volume is handsomely bound and copiously illustrated with views drawn, if we mistake not, by the author's own fair hands, so well do they accord with the vivacious spirit of her narrative.--_Times, Troy, New York._ In these days when letters and books about travels in Europe have become generally monotonous, to say the least, it is absolutely refreshing to get hold of a bright, original book like "We Two alone in Europe."... The book is especially interesting for its fresh, bright observations on manners, customs, and objects of interest as viewed through these young girls' eyes, and the charming spice of adventure running through it.--_Home Journal, Boston._ _Sold by all booksellers, or mailed, on receipt of price, by_ A.C. McCLURG & CO., Publishers, Cor. Wabash Ave. and Madison St., Chicago. THE HUMBLER POETS. A Collection of Newspaper and Periodical Verse. 1870 to 1885. By Slason Thompson. Crown 8vo, 459 pages, cloth, gilt top. Price, $2.00. In half calf or half morocco, $4.00. The publishers have done well in issuing this volume in a style of literary and artistic excellence, such as is given to the works of the poets of name and fame, because the contents richly entitle it to such distinction.--_Home Journal, Boston._ The high poetic character of these poems, as a whole, is surprising. As a unit, the collection makes an impression which even a genius of the highest order would not be adequate to produce.... Measured by poetic richness, variety, and merit of the selections contained, the collection is a rarely good one flavored with the freshness and aroma of the present time.--_Independent, New York._
