"There is hardly a page in which you may not find some bright,
fresh thought; some little generalization full of the flavor of
true wit, or some charming description, deliciously feminine,
and running over with the spirit of poetry."--_Cincinnati
Times._

"We have read this little book with great pleasure. * * * It
frequently reminds us of Mr. Howell's delicately constructed
stories, and in it, as in a mirror, we see reflected that true
refinement and culture of the author's mind."--_New Haven
Palladium._

MASON AND LALOR.--The Primer of Political Economy, in Sixteen
Definitions and Forty Propositions, by A. B. Mason and J. J. Lalor.

"We know of no other work anywhere of sixty pages that begins
to give the amount of information on the subject that has been
put with such remarkable clearness into these sixty
pages."--_Hartford Courant._

"For a short and comprehensive treatise, we know of nothing
better than 'The Primer of Political Economy.' The information
is conveyed in a very concise and happy manner. The style is
perfectly transparent, and the illustrations admirably chosen.
We venture to believe that not a quarter of the men in the
Lower House of Congress know as much about Political Economy as
can be learned from this compact and interesting little
treatise."--_Christian Register._

MILLER.--First Fam'lies of the Sierras. A Novel; by Joaquin Miller.

A most graphic and realistic sketch of life in a mining canon
in the very earliest days of California. The rough heroes and
heroines are evidently drawn from life, and the dramatic scenes
are full of thrilling interest. Bret. Harte has never worked
this rich vein of American life to better advantage.

MUeLLER.--Memories; A Story of German Love. Translated from the German of
Max Mueller, by Geo. P. Upton.

"'Memories' is one of the prettiest and worthiest books of the
year. The story is full of that indescribable half-naturalness,
that effortless vraisemblance, which is so commonly a charm of
German writers, and so seldom paralleled in English. * * *
Scarcely could there be drawn a more lovely figure than that of
the invalid Princess, though it is so nearly pure spirit that
earthly touch seems almost to profane her."--_Springfield
(Mass.) Republican._

McLANDBURGH.--The
