Two biographies of perennial value. No worthier books
were ever offered as holiday presents for our American
young men.
WALTER NEAL’S EXAMPLE. By _Rev. Theron Brown_. 16 mo.
Illustrated 1 25
Walter Neal’s Example is by Rev. Theron Brown, the
editor of that very successful paper, _The Youth’s
Companion_. The story is a touching one, and is in
parts so vivid as to seem drawn from the life.—_N. Y.
Independent._
TWO FORTUNE-SEEKERS. Stories by _Rossiter Johnson_, _Louise
Chandler Moulton_, _E. Stuart Phelps_, _Ella Farman_, _etc._
Fully illustrated 1 50
MISS JULIA A. EASTMAN is one of the most popular of our modern writers.
YOUNG RICK. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo. Twelve
illustrations by Sol Eytinge $1 50
A bright, fascinating story of a little boy who was
both a blessing and a bother.—_Boston Journal._
The most delightful book on the list for the children
of the family, being full of adventures and gay home
scenes and merry play-times. “Paty” would have done
credit to Dickens in his palmiest days. The strange
glows and shadows of her character are put in lovingly
and lingeringly, with the pencil of a master. Miss
Margaret’s character of light is admirably drawn,
while Aunt Lesbia, Deacon Harkaway, Tom Dorrance, and
the master and mistress of Graythorpe poor-house are
genuine “charcoal sketches.”
STRIKING FOR THE RIGHT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. Large 16mo.
Illustrated 1 75
While this story holds the reader breathless with
expectancy and excitement, its civilizing influence in
the family is hardly to be estimated. In all quarters
it has met with the warmest praise.
THE ROMNEYS OF RIDGEMONT. By _Julia A. Eastman_. 16mo.
Illustrated 1 50
