_ROMANCE AND REVERIE._ By EDGAR FAWCETT. 1 vol. 12mo. Printed on fine
hand-made paper, with gilt top. $2.00. A volume of poems, by the author of
"Song and Story."
"Mr. Fawcett was the man of whom Longfellow expected more than from any of
the other young American authors, both as a poet and novelist."--_American
Queen._
"The _Revue des Deux Mondes_ gives high praise to Mr. Fawcett's poetry, and
compares his briefer lyrics to the famous 'Emaux et Camées' of Théophile
Gautier."--_Beacon._
_STORIES AND SKETCHES._ By JOHN BOYLE O'REILLY, editor of the _Pilot_,
author of "Moondyne," Songs, Legends, Ballads etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
The great popularity of the author, and the intrinsic merit and interest of
his writings, will ensure a warm reception to this collection of his latest
and best works.
MOROZ' KRASNYI-NOS' (Red-Nosed Frost). Russian: Sostavil' Nikolai
Alekseevich' Nekrasov'. Translated in the original meters from the Russian

_CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS._ By CLARA ERKSINE CLEMENT.
Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol. Large 12mo., with many full page
illustrations. $2.50.
This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book of
Legendary Art,"--of which seventeen large editions have been exhausted. The
clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols by which men's
minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the mysteries of revealed
religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The "Stories of the Saints" will be
illustrated by numerous full page engravings from the rarest and finest
works of the great masters of Christian Art--prominence being given to
scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the
Evangelists, and the Founders and notable Saints of the Religious Orders.
_MONOGRAPHS OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE._
No. II. THE HARTFORD CAPITOL. R.M. Upjohn, Architect.
No. III. AMES MEMORIAL BUILDINGS, NORTH EASTON. H.H. Richardson, Architect.
Gelatine Plates (from nature), 13 × 16. Each in portfolio. $5.00.
The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing for
artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted for
the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building of the
Connecticut State Capitol. This possesses perhaps even a higher interest
than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public building, and not
an appendage of an institution.
_The American Architect_ says: "The execution of the work is all that could
be asked. It would be hard to offer a more encouraging example of the kind
of work to be expected in this series."
_JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY._ By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE, Author of "The Led
Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to be
compared with our best women novelists. To make this comparison briefly,
Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly, and Mrs.
Foote feels intensely."--_The Critic._
_NEXT DOOR._ By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, Author of "Dearly Bought," "A Sane
Lunatic," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
One of the brightest, prettiest, and most charming tales yet offered to the

the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and skilful.

Writings and Philosophy." 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.

patience, the most thorough devotion to the labor he has undertaken, and
the deepest mental sympathy with his subjects. His present work embraces
Tennyson, Ruskin, and Browning.
_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.

1 vol. 12 mo. $1.50.
"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet
humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the contrast
