CHERRY-BLOOMS OF YEDDO. Illustrated, 12mo, 1.00; full gilt, 1.25.
“The Cherry-Blooms of Yeddo fall upon us in the form of a snow-shower
of flowers and petals of genuine poetry. A half dozen of the thirty or
more poems cast a mystic glow upon native and missionary life in Japan.
‘The Baptism’ and ‘Easter’ are exquisitely touching, and illustrative
of Christ’s conquest over the pagan heart, and of the sad but
silver-edged experience of the missionary who comes back to home-land
bereft, but not with Naomi’s hopeless and rebellious grief.”—_Christian
Intelligencer_, New York.
“There is about them all a simplicity and naturalness, the fragrance
of fern and flower, of meadow and woodland, combined with a delicate
finish in rhyme and measure, which evinces the touch of the true
interpreter of the hidden mysteries in art and nature.”—_Watchman_,
Boston.
ETCHINGS FROM TWO LANDS. 12mo, 1.00.
“The two lands are America and Japan, much the larger part of the
volume being given to Japan. The sketches are descriptive and
narrative, giving graphic views of Japan and the Japanese, with notices
of missionary work, such as read by the friends of missions, will feed
the interest already felt in them.”—_Watchman_, Boston.
