rning of the ancients, as well as the
treasure-house from which all succeeding writers have borrowed their
best ideas, then are these little books worth their weight in gold, for
they contain some of the choicest gems to be found in the collected
works of the famous Greek philosopher. They are companion volumes, the
text being taken unabridged from Professor Jowett's revised translation
of Plato. They tell the whole story of the trial, imprisonment and death
of Socrates. The Apology gives the defence, the Crito relates the offer
of escape, the Phaedo describes the last hours. The more studiously and
the more frequently these books are read the more keen will be the
appreciation of their intellectual and moral excellence."--_Providence

A LITTLE PILGRIM. Reprinted from Macmillan's Magazine. 16mo. Cloth. Red
edges. Price, $ .75

"An exquisitely written little sketch is found in that remarkable
production, 'The Little Pilgrim,'--which is just now attracting much
attention both in Europe and America. It is highly imaginative in its
scope, representing one of the world-worn and weary pilgrims of our
earthly sphere as entering upon the delights of heaven after death. The
picture of heaven is drawn with the rarest delicacy and refinement, and
is in agreeable contrast in this respect to the material sketch of this
future home furnished in Miss Stuart Phelps's well-remembered 'Gates
Ajar.' The book will be a balm to the heart of many readers who are in
accord with the faith of its author; and to others its reading will
afford rare pleasure from the exceeding beauty and affecting simplicity
of its almost perfect literary style."--_Saturday Evening Gazette._

"The life beyond the grave, when the short life in this world is ended,
is to many a source of dread--to all a mystery. 'A Little Pilgrim' has
apparently solved it, and, indeed, it seems on reading this little book
as it there were a great probability about it. A soft, gentle tone
pervades its every sentence, and one cannot read it without feeling
refreshed and strengthened."--_The Alta California._
