=TICKNOR & COMPANY'S NEW BOOKS,=
SPRING OF 1886.
The prices named below are subject to revision on publication.
_THE STORY OF MARGARET KENT._ By HENRY HAYES. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
A new and thrilling novel of literary life in New York, written with
masterly skill. One of the most exacting of reviewers says that it will
"convince and touch thoughtful and sensitive readers"; and another, a
well-known novelist and poet, says: "The plot and situations are
original and natural. It is out of the common run, and sparkles with
life--real life--and deep feeling."
_AMERICAN WHIST._ By G.W.P. 1 vol. 16mo. Sixth Edition, Revised. $1.00.
A new and fully revised and much-enlarged edition of this foremost
classic, best teacher, and wisest companion as to the most enjoyable
game of cards. After running through several successful editions during
the past five years, this invaluable book is now to be brought out
improved in many ways, and will be indispensable to all who play Whist.
_CLEOPATRA._ By HENRY GRÉVILLE. Original Copyright Edition, with new
Portrait. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.25.
"Cleopatra" is a brilliant new novel by the author of "Dosia" and
"Dosia's Daughter," who is acknowledged as foremost among the European
novelists of to-day. The remarkable success that has attended Henry
Gréville's previous works, foreshadows the popular demand for
"Cleopatra," her latest (and in many respects, her best) novel.
_EVERY-DAY RELIGION._ By REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE, D.D., Author of
"Self-Culture," "The Ideas of Paul," &c., &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
An admirable group of terse, strong, and practical discourses on the
religion of the home, the office, the work-shop, and the field. It tells
how, amid the cares and annoyances of this workaday world, one may grow
towards a noble and peaceful life. It will be an invaluable companion,
an indispensable "guide, philosopher, and friend." The eminent success
of JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE in works of this high class is shown by the
great popularity of his "Self-Culture," which is now in its eleventh
edition.
_EDGE-TOOLS OF SPEECH._ By MATURIN M. BALLOU, Author of "A Treasury of
Thought," "Due South," &c., &c. 1 vol. 8vo. $3.50.
A great new work, in which are preserved the choicest expressions and
opinions of the great thinkers and writers of all ages, from Confucius to
Ruskin. These pungent apothegms and brilliant memorabilia are all
carefully classified by topics; so that the choicest work of many years
of patient labor in the libraries of America and Europe is condensed into
perfect form and made readily available. It will be indispensable to all
writers and speakers, and should be in every library.--_Traveller._
_LIGHT ON THE HIDDEN WAY._ With an Introduction by JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE.
1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.
A remarkable and thrilling romance of immortality, illustrating by an
account of personal experiences the relations between the seen and the
unseen. All readers of the literature of the supernatural in books like
"The Little Pilgrim," &c., will be profoundly interested in this strange
record of the nearness of the spiritual and material worlds.
_TWO COLLEGE GIRLS._ By HELEN DAWES BROWN. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
One of the most important of forthcoming books. It is a capital study of
girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most
piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and
social criteria of the three cities. It is suited alike to old and
young, being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple
and vivid, and full of sustaining interest. Nothing has been published
since "Little Women" that will so strike the popular taste.
_INDIAN SUMMER._ By W.D. HOWELLS, Author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham,"
&c. 1 vol. 12mo. $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 of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells
has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a
Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American
sort."--_The Nation._
_THE PRELATE._ By ISAAC HENDERSON. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The
situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic
of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.
_CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS._ By CLARA ERSKINE 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.
_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._
_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."
_A STROLL WITH KEATS._ By FRANCES CLIFFORD BROWN. 1 vol. Illustrated.
Square 16mo. $1.50.
One of the choicest gems of art in illustration, consisting of
illuminated pages, in beautiful designs, illustrating some of the finest
verses of the great English poet.
_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 public. The scene is in Boston, the time the present, the plot
exciting, the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and
skilful.
_POETS AND PROBLEMS._ By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Author of "Emerson; His
Life, Writings and Philosophy." 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.
Mr. Cooke brings to his work the most inexhaustible and painstaking
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 SPHINX'S CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S._ By ROSE TERRY COOKE, Author
of "Somebody's Neighbors," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.
This volume of short stories, reprinted from the author's contributions
to the "_Atlantic,_" "_Harper's,_" "_The Galaxy,_" &c., will be found
like "Somebody's Neighbors," to show "that profound insight into Puritan
character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs.
Cooke has but one equal, and no superior. These exquisite chronicles are
full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is
attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous
and spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic
skill."
_THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE._ The Lectures at the Concord School of
Philosophy for 1885. Edited by F.B. SANBORN and W.T. HARRIS. 1 vol.
12mo. With 2 portraits. $2.00.
