Additions and Notes, by Prof. J. CLARK MURRAY. Cr. 8vo. Cloth. 307
pages. $2.00.
The London _Spectator_ says: "Dr. Clark Murray has had the rare good
fortune of first presenting this singularly vivid book in an English
translation as pure and lively as if it were an original, and an
original by a classic English writer."
George Eliot, in "Daniel Deronda," mentions it as "that wonderful bit of
autobiography--the life of the Polish Jew, Solomon Maimon:" and Milman,
in his "History of the Jews," refers to it as a curious and rare book.

Mental and Moral Philosophy, M'Gill College, Montreal. Cr. 8vo. 2d

THE POPULAR WORKS OF SALLY PRATT MCLEAN.
=CAPE COD FOLKS.= A Novel. Twenty-third edition. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth,
$1.25. Paper, 50 cents.
=TOWHEAD: THE STORY OF A GIRL.= Fifth Thousand. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. Paper,

Since the production of Miss McLean's first effort "Cape Cod Folks," she
has steadily advanced in intellectual development; the same genius is at
work in a larger and more artistic manner, until she has at length
produced what must be truly considered as her masterpiece, and which we
have the pleasure to announce for immediate publication.
=SOME OTHER FOLKS.= A Book in Four Stories. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. Paper, 50
cents.
These books are so well known that further comment seems superfluous.
Suffice it to say that the entire press of the country has unanimously
spoken of them in terms of high praise, dwelling not only on their
delicious humor, their literary workmanship, their genuine pathos, and
their real power and eloquence, but what has been described as their
deep, true _humanness_, and the inimitable manner in which the mirror is
held up to nature that all may see reflected therein some familiar
trait, some description or character which is at once recognized.
=LASTCHANCE JUNCTION: HUMAN NATURE IN THE FAR WEST.= A Novel. By SALLY
PRATT MCLEAN. 1 vol. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"Terse, incisive descriptions of men and scenery, drawn with so vivid a
pen that one can see the characters and their setting, delicious bits of
humor, passages full of infinite pathos, make this book absolutely hold
the reader from the title to the last word, and as, when finished, one
sighs for the pity of it, the feeling rises that such a work has not
been written in vain, and will have its place among those which tend to
elevate our race."
=MISS FRANCES MERLEY.= A Novel. By JOHN ELLIOT CURRAN. 420 pages. Square
16mo. Paper covers, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00.
The first important work of an author familiar to American readers by
his remarkable sketches to _Scribner's_ and other magazines.
=AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A NEW ENGLAND FARM HOUSE=: A Romance of the Cape Cod
Lands. By N. H. CHAMBERLAIN. 380 pages. Square 16mo. Paper covers, 50
cents. Cloth, $1.00.
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.
