BARRETT (Mary).
WILLIAM THE SILENT, AND THE NETHERLAND WAR. With maps and engravings.
12mo, 1.25. (5)
“It describes in a clear and forcible style the record of events which
preceded in the Netherlands the birth and growth of the Dutch Republic,
and forms an excellent introduction to young and old for the study of
Motley’s great work.”—_Cincinnati Courier._
BARROWS (Wm., D. D.).
THE INDIAN’S SIDE OF THE INDIAN QUESTION. 12mo, 1.00.
“Presents the Indian’s Side of the Indian Question with admirable
cogency and simplicity. The volume is interesting alike in its
presentation of facts and its discussion of methods and is suggestive
in its bearing upon the obligations of Christians and philanthropists
in view of the conditions of the Dawes severalty law.”—_Boston Journal._
“This is Indian History with a purpose. The book is a means of
intelligence on a question, which within a year has taken on so new a
phase that it needs to be studied anew, and this volume is the readiest
means of information we know of.”—_American Magazine_, N. Y.
BARTLETT (Geo. B.).
CONCORD: Historic, Literary and Picturesque. 12mo, illustrated, cloth,
1.00; paper, .50.
“‘Concord,’ which answers the thousand and one questions strangers and
visitors have to ask about the town, has been written by Mr. G. B.
Bartlett, one of its citizens. The book is very tastefully designed and
prettily illustrated, and is both attractive and interesting, giving
the reader a view of the town and of the localities which have become
famous through association, and reciting the particulars of what may
be called its literary history. The following is an outline of the
contents: A Glance at the History of the Town; The First Church and
the Pastors; The Old Graveyard and its Curious Inscriptions; Sleepy
Hollow; The Graves of Hawthorne, Thoreau and others; The Battle-Ground,
and Accounts of the Fight, by Rev. W. Emerson, Dr. Ripley and Lemuel
Shattuck; Houses of Historical Interest which were Built before 1775;
Houses of Literary Interest; The Library; The Monuments; Various
Organizations and their Founders; The Concord Grape; The Clubs;
French’s Studio, and His Bust of Emerson; Walden Pond; The Museum of
Antique Curiosities; The Rivers and their Surroundings; The School of
Philosophy, etc., etc. The pictures include views of most of these
scenes.”—_Literary World_, Boston.
“One of the most valuable additions to the library, and greatest aid
to the visitor who may turn his footsteps toward the most intellectual
village in America.”—_Rochester Herald._
ARNOLD (Edwin).
Oliver Wendell Holmes says of his poetry: “It is full of variety,
now picturesque, now pathetic, now rising into the noblest realms
of thought and aspiration; it finds language penetrating, fluent,
elevated, impassioned, musical, always to clothe its varied thoughts
and sentiments.”
