able Leisure Hour Series."--_Nation_. "To any one who wants a book that will prove both entertaining and profitable, as good literature always is, and does not know precisely what to ask for, we say select one of 'The Leisure Hour Series.'"--_Boston Advertiser_. "The series has throughout been a most creditable one, commended as much to literary readers for the literary excellence maintained in the selection of its books as to ordinary novel buyers by their cleverness and interest."--_N. Y. Tribune_. "Has a way of absorbing all the charming stories and new authors that one never heard of until introduced in this manner.--_N. Y. Herald_. "We do not recall one of this series that has not been deserving the high and noble company into which it has been admitted. Outwardly, with its cool linen covers, the series is attractive. No less so are its various volumes, from the strong stalwart pictures of Russian life and character by Turgenieff, to the delightful stories by Mrs. Alexander."--_Cincinnati Times_. No. 93.

It is evident throughout, that he has neither 'written out,' nor lost the vein of originality and freshness which give such a charm to his books."--_Boston Post_. "Likely to rank next to 'On the Heights.'"--_Louisville Courier Journal_. No. 95. MAID ELLICE. By Theo. Gift, author of "Pretty Miss Bellew." (_New Revised Edition now Ready_.) No. 96. HATHERCOURT. By Mrs. Molesworth, (Ennis Graham), author of "The Cuckoo Clock." No. 97. PLAY-DAY POEMS. Collected and edited by Rossiter Johnson. The best of the humorous poems published since Parton's collection in 1856, and also many of the old favorites. (_Just Ready_.) No. 98. GADDINGS WITH A PRIMITIVE PEOPLE. By W. A. Baillie Grohman. A remarkably entertaining volume of out-of-the-way life and adventure, which the _London Saturday Review_ characterized as "singularly readable;" the _Spectator_, as "a book such as the public seldom has the opportunity of rea
