Bachelor Bluff:
_His Opinions, Sentiments, and
Disputations._ By OLIVER B. BUNCE.
"Mr. Bunce is a writer of uncommon freshness and
power.... Those who have read his brief but carefully
written studies will value at their true worth the
genuine critical insight and fine literary qualities
which characterize his work."--_Christian Union._
"We do not recall any volume of popular essays published
of late years which contains so much good writing, and
so many fine and original comments on topics of current
interest. Mr. Oracle Bluff is a self-opinionated,
genial, whole-souled fellow.... His talk is terse,
epigrammatic, full of quotable proverbs and isolated
bits of wisdom."--_Boston Traveller._
"It is a book which, while professedly aiming to amuse,
and affording a very rare and delightful fund of
amusement, insinuates into the crevices of the
reflective mind thoughts and sentiments that are sure to
fructify and perpetuate themselves."--_Eclectic
Magazine._

Hygiene for Girls.
By IRENAEUS P. DAVIS, M. D.
18mo, cloth. Price, $1.25.
"Many a woman whose childhood was bright with promise
endures an after-life of misery because, through a false
delicacy, she remained ignorant of her physical nature
and requirements, although on all other subjects she may
be well-informed; and so at length she goes to her grave
mourning the hard fate that has made existence a burden,
and perhaps wondering to what end she was born, when a
little knowledge at the proper time would have shown her
how to easily avoid those evils that have made her life
a wretched failure."--_From Introduction._
"A very useful book, for parents who have daughters is
'Hygiene for Girls,' by Irenaeus P. Davis, M.D.,
published by D. Appleton & Co. And it is just the book
for an intelligent, well-instructed girl to read with
care. It is not a text-book, nor does it bristle with
technical terms. But it tells in simple language just
what girls should do and not to do to preserve the
health and strength, to realize the joys, and prepare
for the duties of a woman's lot. It is written with a
delicacy, too, which a mother could hardly surpass in
talking with her daughter."--_Christian at Work._
