AMERICANISMS AND BRITICISMS, with Other Essays on Other Isms. By BRANDER
MATTHEWS. With Portrait. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
FROM THE BOOKS OF LAURENCE HUTTON. With Portrait. 16mo, Cloth,
Ornamental, $1 00.
"Some American Book Plates," "Grangerism and the Grangerites," "The
Portraits of Mary Queen of Scots," "Portrait Inscriptions," and
"Poetical Inscriptions and Dedications" are the topics chosen by Mr.
Hutton, and the reader gets pleasure even as he gets culture from a
perusal of his studies in these fields.--_Hartford Courant_.
CONCERNING ALL OF US. By THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON. With Portrait.
16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
Colonel Higginson has the advantage of a sound and simple philosophy of
life to show off his fine literary culture. The one makes him worth
reading--strong, open-minded, and wholesome; the other gives him graces
of form, style, and literary attraction in great variety. It is hard to
decide whether the charm or the usefulness of the present collection of
essays preponderates.--_Independent_, N. Y.
FROM THE EASY CHAIR. By GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS. With Portrait. 16mo,
Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
The essays have lost nothing of their actuality; their freshness of
humor; their contagion of cheerful philosophy; their breathing,
historical interest; their wit, that fits like a cap on Wisdom's head;
their tenderness of humanity.--_Philadelphia Ledger_.
AS WE WERE SAYING. By CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER. With Portrait, and
Illustrated by H. W. MCVICKAR and Others. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1
00.
Mr. Warner possesses the faculty of putting his thoughts into excellent
English, while the simplicity of his style, the absence of all straining
after effect, and the apparently spontaneous character of his wit,
sufficiently account for the high reputation he enjoys among the
American humorists.--_Episcopal Recorder_, Philadelphia.
CRITICISM AND FICTION. By WILLIAM DEAN HOWELLS. With Portrait. 16mo,
Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
Many a good thing and many a true thing is here clothed in the diction
of a master, and giving forth the bouquet of a style as delicately
vigorous, so to say, as any in English literature.--_Independent_, N. Y.
