THE END. BY CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER. As We Were Saying. With Portrait, and Illustrated by H. W. MACVICKAR and others. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00. Mr. Warner is both wise and witty, and in his charming style he follows a model of his own.--_Boston Traveller._ Mr. Warner has such a fine fancy, such a clever way of looking at the things that interest everybody, such a genial humor, that one never tires of him or the children of his pen.--_Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette._ Our Italy. An Exposition of the Climate and Resources of Southern California. Illustrated. 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $2 50. In this book are a little history, a little prophecy, a few fascinating statistics, many interesting facts, much practical suggestion, and abundant humor and charm.--_Evangelist_, N. Y.

A witty, instructive book, as brilliant in its pictures as it is warm in its kindness; and we feel sure that it is with a patriotic impulse that we say that we shall be glad to learn that the number of its readers bears some proportion to its merits and its power for good.--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._ A book most charming--a book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly prize.--_Boston Tra
