a man and a scholar without prejudices, and only anxious to state the facts as they were.... When told in the pleasant and instructive way of Mr. Warner the studies are as delightful as they are instructive.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ Perhaps the most accurate and graphic account of these portions of the country that has appeared, taken all in all.... It is a book most charming--a book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly prize.--_Boston Traveller._ THEIR PILGRIMAGE. Richly Illustrated by C.S. REINHART. pp. viii., 364. Post 8vo, Half Leather, $2 00. Mr. Warner's pen-pictures of the characters typical of each resort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and the general tone is that of one glad to look on the brightest side of the cheerful, pleasure-seeking world with which he mingles.--_Christian Union, N.Y._ Mr. Reinhart's spirited and realistic illustrations are very attractive, and contribute to make an unusually handsome book.

HOWELLS. A HAZARD OF NEW FORTUNES. Illustrated. 8vo, Paper, 75 cents; 12mo, Cloth, 2 vols., $2 00. MODERN ITALIAN POETS. Essays and Versions. With Portraits. 12mo, Half Cloth, $2 00. A portfolio of delightsome studies among the Italian poets; musings in a golden granary full to the brim with good things.... We venture to say that no acute and penetrating critic surpasses Mr. Howells in true insight, in polished irony, in effective and yet graceful treatment of his theme, in that light and indescribable touch that lifts you over a whole sea of froth and foam, and fixes your eye, not on the froth and foam, but on the solid objects, the true heart and soul of the theme.--_Critic_, N.Y. ANNIE KILBURN. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50. Mr. Howells has certainly never given us in one novel so many portrai
