hicago, Mr. Soldan of St. Louis, Mr. Snider of Cincinnati, Mr. Partridge of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Davidson of New Jersey, Prof. White of Ithaca, N.Y., and Messrs. Emery, Harris, and Sanborn of Concord, the last named the editor.--_Traveller._ _THE OLDEN-TIME SERIES._ 16mo. Per vol., 50 cents. There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this, Mr. Henry M. Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be history, the volumes will contain much material for history, so combined and presented as to be both amusing and instructive. The titles of some of the volumes indicate their scope and their promise of entertainment:--"Curiosities of the Old Lottery," "Days of the Spinning Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious Punishments," "Quaint and Curious Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities," "New-England Sunday," etc. _THE IMPERIAL ISLAND--ENGLAND'S CHRONICLE IN STONE._ By JAMES F. HUNNEWELL. 1 vol. 8vo. Richly illustrated. $3.50. This admirable and impressive work is a companion to the same author's well-known "Historical Monuments of France," and contains a vivid record of the life of Merrie England, as exemplified by her august castles and palaces, abbeys and cathedrals. LIFE AND WORKS OF MRS. CLEMMER. _AN AMERICAN WOMAN'S LIFE AND WORK._ A Memorial of Mary Clemmer, by EDMUND HUDSON, with Portrait. _POEMS OF LIFE AND NATURE._ _HIS TWO WIVES._ _MEN, WOMEN, AND THINGS._ Revised and augmented. The whole in four 12mo. volumes, tastefully bound, forming a beautiful, uniform set of the selected works, together with the memorial biography of this popular and lamented writer. _THE SAUNTERER._ By CHARLES GOODRICH WHITING. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.25. A rare and choice collection of charming little essays and poems about nature, some of which have won the highest possible commendation from Stedman and other eminent critics. The author has for many years been connected with the editorial staff of "The Springfield Republican." _THE LOST NAME._ By MRS. MADELEINE VINTON DAHLGREN, author of "A Washington Winter," "South-sea Sketches," etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50. The remarkable success of Mrs. Dahlgren's previous portrayals of society make it certain that her forthcoming work will be full of life
