e less pregnant and valuable matter with
which they are mingled in the full editions. A brief but compact and
readable memoir prefaces each volume."--_Unitarian Review._

"The compiler of 'Quiet Hours,' and other volumes of hymns and serious
poems, has made a second collection of the poems that are so soothing,
helpful and encouraging that she calls them 'Sunshine in the Soul.' They
are published in the 'Wisdom Series' of Roberts Brothers, and can be
carried about in one's pocket until they are transferred to one's
memory, and have done their work of bringing light into dark places."
"Although it is small enough to fit easily in either a lady's or
gentleman's pocket, it contains about one hundred and fifteen poems
carefully selected from the popular and standard writers. In turning
over the delicate little pages we see the names of Longfellow over 'The
Legend Beautiful' and 'To-morrow,' and Christina G. Rosetti's over 'Who
Shall Deliver Me?' There is also Whittier's name, Miss Mulock's,
Wordsworth's, Faber's, Susan Coolidge's and many others, who have
written tenderly, sweetly or helpfully upon higher or better thoughts of
life, death and the world to come."--_School Journal._

GATHERINGS FROM AN ARTIST'S PORTFOLIO IN ROME. By JAMES E. FREEMAN. The
author, an American artist, long resident in Rome, gives an entertaining
account of life in Rome, with reminiscences and tales, as the result of
his personal experience. 12mo. Cloth. Price, $1.50
"It is in some respects a sequel to a very interesting volume from the
same hand, which appeared three years ago under a similar title. It is
an uncommonly bright, attractive and well-written book, pleasingly
natural in style, full of information gracefully conveyed, picturesque
in its descriptive portions, and overflowing with spirited sketches of
character and events. In addition, the book has a touch of refined
Bohemianism that lends it a special charm. The work is one that will be
perused with genuine pleasure by readers of cultivated tastes."--_Saturday
Evening Gazette._
