ot be the last. It is a story of a
life in a girl's boarding-school, and the young heroine of it comes
almost as near to the ideal of what is winning and womanly as Tom Brown
did to the ideal of frank young manhood. The tone of the book is high
and pure and sweet, and we do not remember a story among the recent
issues of the press which can be placed in the hands of girls with a
stronger assurance that they will be charmed with its teaching and
inspiration."--_Item._

EMILY BRONTE. Famous Women Series. By A. MARY F. ROBINSON. One volume,
16mo. Cloth. Price, $1.00

"Miss Robinson has written a fascinating biography." ... "Emily Bronte
is interesting, not because she wrote 'Wuthering Heights,' but because
of her brave, baffled human life, so lonely, so full of pain, but with a
great hope shining beyond all the darkness, and a passionate defiance in
bearing more than the burdens that were laid upon her. The story of the
three sisters was infinitely sad, but it is the ennobling sadness that
belongs to large natures cramped and striving for freedom to heroic,
almost desperate, work, with little or no result. The author of this
intensely interesting, sympathetic and eloquent biography is a young
lady and a poet, to whom a place is given in a recent anthology of
living English poets, which is supposed to contain only the best poems
of the best writers," says the _Boston Daily Advertiser._

familiar, is printed on very fine paper, and has a page with the usual
quotations and the usual blanks, the whole encircled with a carmine line
border, the date of
