al
Lowrie and Archer Bishop is so very thorough that the two gay,
thoughtless fellows, in the language of the _American Bookseller_,
"resolve in future to be wholly true, even in little things. Royal
Lowrie is an especially engaging rattlepate, and we do not wonder that
he wins forgiveness on all sides."

Although it is an irresistibly humorous story of high-spirited boys and
girls, the book is calculated to exert as strong a restraining influence
as any volume which will be found in our Sunday-school Libraries.

ENTERPRISE.

We copy the following from _The American Bookseller_, New York:

Few people can have failed to notice the great enterprise, if they have
not observed the scrupulous care with which Messrs. D. Lothrop & Co.
have published a class of books adapted to the highest culture of the
people.

It is only ten years since they commenced the work of publishing, and
their list now numbers more than six hundred volumes.

We are glad to make record, that brave and persistent following of a
high ideal has been successful.

Messrs. D. Lothrop & Co. have given special attention to the publication
of books for children and youths, rightly considering that in no
department is _the best_, as regards literary excellence and purity of
moral and religious reading, of so great importance. Yet the names of
works by such authors as Austin Phelps, D.D., Francis Wayland, and Dr.
Nehemiah Adams on their catalogue, will show that maturer readers have
not been uncared for.

Of their work projected for the coming season, we have not room to speak
in detail; it will suffice for the present to say that it is wide in
range, including substantial and elegantly illustrated books, all in the
line of the practical and useful, and fresh in character and treatment.

Their two juvenile magazines, _Wide Awake_ and _Babyland_, are warmly
welcomed in every part of the English-speaking world.

We advise any of our readers who desire to know more about these
publications, to send to D. Lothrop & Co., Boston, for an illustrated
catalogue.

All who visit their establishment, corner of Franklin and Hawley
streets, will not only be courteously welcomed and entertained, but will
have the pleasure of seeing one of the most spacious and attractive
bookstores in the country.
