=AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NEW ENGLAND FARM HOUSE=:
A Romance of the Cape Cod Lands. By N. H. CHAMBERLAIN. 380 pages.
_A novel of singular power and beauty, great originality and rugged
force._ Born and bred on Cape Cod, the author, at the winter firesides
of country people, very conservative of ancient English customs now
gone, heard curious talk of kings, Puritan ministers, the war and
precedent struggle of our Revolution, and touched a race of men and
women now passed away. He also heard, chiefly from ancient women, the
traditions of ghosts, witches and Indians, as they are preserved, and
to a degree believed, by honest Christian folk, in the very teeth of
modern progress. These things are embodied in this book.

=A SUMMER CRUISE ON THE COAST OF NEW ENGLAND.= By ROBERT CARTER. _With
an Introduction by_ ROSSITER JOHNSON. 12mo. Cloth, _with Map_. $1.50.
A new edition of one of the most fascinating of salt-water yarns, full
of genial humor, vivid word-painting, accurate information, and
practical “wrinkles.” A classic by reason of the esteem in which it is
held by yachtsmen, and as a literary production equal to anything of
the kind in the Anglo-Saxon tongue.
