Character.

Character. By SAMUEL SMILES. 12mo, Cloth, $1.00.

It is, in design and execution, more like his "Self-Help" than any
of his other works. Mr. Smiles always writes pleasantly, but he
writes best when he is telling anecdotes, and using them to enforce
a moral that he is too wise to preach about, although he is not
afraid to state it plainly. By means of it "Self-Help" at once
became a standard book, and "Character" is, in its way, quite as
good as "Self-Help." It is a wonderful storehouse of anecdotes and
biographical illustrations.--_Examiner_, London.

Self-Help.

Self-Help; with Illustrations of Character, Conduct, and
Perseverance. By SAMUEL SMILES. New Edition, Revised and Enlarged.
12mo, Cloth, $1.00.

The writings of Samuel Smiles are a valuable aid in the education of
boys. His style seems to have been constructed entirely for their
tastes; his topics are admirably selected, and his mode of communicating
excellent lessons of enterprise, truth, and self-reliance might be
called insidious and ensnaring if these words did not convey an idea
which is only applicable to lessons of an opposite character and
tendency taught in the same attractive style. The popularity of this
book, "Self-Help," abroad has made it a powerful instrument of good, and
many an English boy has risen from its perusal determined that his life
will be moulded after that of some of those set before him in this
volume. It was written for the youth of another country, but its wealth
of instruction has been recognized by its translation into more than one
European language, and it is not too much to predict for it a popularity
among America boys.--_N. Y. World._
