“The author discusses in a clear and masterly way the relation between
capital and labor, the duties of employer and employed, and the great
advantage to each that a thorough knowledge of their work gives, and
urges a broader culture for all classes.”—_St. Joseph Gazette._
KNIGHT (Mrs. S. G.).
NED HARWOOD’S VISIT TO JERUSALEM. 4to, boards, illustrated, 1.25.
_Library Edition_, 12mo, cloth, 1.25.
The travellers were in no hurry. They spent much time in the places
associated with Christ’s ministry and in the former homes of the
patriarchs and prophets. The book is of especial value to Sunday-school
teachers and scholars, because of the light it throws upon many
difficult Scripture passages by its vivid descriptions. The manuscript
was approved by Rev. Selah Merrill, D. D., for many years U. S. Consul
at Jerusalem. The strictest accuracy has thus been secured without
impairing the interest of the story. Cover in colors from original
design.
“The pictures of buildings and scenery are worth the price of the
book.”—_Woman’s Journal._
“It tells about just the things that would interest a boy in the Holy
Land.”—_Union Signal._
KOKHANOVSKY (Madame).
RUSTY LINCHPIN and LUBOFF ARCHIPOVNA.
Translated from the Russian by M. M. S. and J. L. E. 12mo, 1.25.
“Here are two exquisite idyls of Russian rural life. Innocent and
ingenuous, ignorant of the falsity and fever of fashionable life, they
have the freshness and simplicity of a good child. The local coloring
adds to their bright cheerfulness, and the honest, kindly characters
move us to a devout thankfulness.”—_Christian Union_, N. Y.
“They bring us very close to that strange civilization which has lately
become so fascinating to Western readers, and help us to realize how
truly the aims and the emotions of common life are the same under all
garbs and in all lands.”—_Chicago Dial._
“Of a number of works of fiction translated from the Russian within a
year or two, no book, as a whole, is so purely reflective of Russian
domestic life, or so sweet in tone as ‘The Rusty Linchpin.’”—_Boston
Globe._
LAMB (Charles).
“Seeking his materials for the most part in the common paths of
life—often in the humblest—he gives an importance to everything and
sheds a grace over all.”—THOMAS NOON TALFOURD.
A DISSERTATION UPON ROAST PIG. Small quarto, illustrated, 1.00.
A separate issue of the humorous masterpiece of Lamb, “the frolic
and the gentle.” Printed on heavy paper, in clear, large type,
characteristically illustrated by L. J. Bridgman.
“A little holiday book, the outside of which is in admirable harmony
with what it contains. The dissertation is one of those charming
literary trifles, whose lightness and brightness will always keep it
popular.”—_Boston Transcript._
