again with renewed satisfaction. Its scenes are laid
in India, and whether the author discourses of the elephant, the
rhinoceros, some bird that has attracted his attention, a tree, or
a flower; whether he describes an exciting hunt, or tells a
marvellous story; whether he moralizes or gives free rein to his
fancy, he is always brilliant, fascinating, vivacious and masterly.
It is difficult to write of this remarkable book without
superlatives; but it is not too much to insist that it is
impossible to exaggerate its peculiar merits, or to bestow too
large a share of praise upon it. It is not a book for the few, but
for the many, and all will find delight in its perusal."--_Saturday

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 if 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
