GOOD NOVELS!

WE AND OUR NEIGHBORS: or, The Records of an Unfashionable
Street.
A Sequel to My Wife and I. By Harriet Beecher
Stowe. Illustrated. 12mo. Fancy Stamped Cloth. $1.75.

“It is one of the best of Mrs. Stowe's novels; and Mrs. Stowe is
incapable of writing a poor one.”

St. Louis Globe.

“The story is in the author's best and liveliest vein, and never flags
even for a moment..... The illustrations will bear a much
closer examination than the average engravings of the period.”

Detroit Free Press.

MY WIFE AND I: or, Harry Henderson's History. A Novel. By
Harriet Beecher Stowe. 12mo. Illustrated. $1.75.

“Always bright, piquant, and entertaining, with an occasional touch
of tenderness, strong because subtle, keen in sarcasm, full of
womanly logic directed against unwomanly tendencies.”

Boston Journal.

THE ABBE TIGRANE: Candidate for the Papal Chair. From
the French of Ferdinand Fabre. Translated by Rev. Leonard
Woolsey Bacon. 12mo. Gilt and Ink-stamped Cloth. $1.50.

A brilliant picture of life—interesting from beginning to end. It is a
French novel without immorality; a tale of intrigue without women;
and altogether an original, piquant and readable story.

NORWOOD; or, Village Life in New England. A Novel. By Henry
Ward Beecher.
Illustrated by Alfred Fredericks. 12mo.
Price, $2.00.

“Embodies more of the high art of fiction than any half dozen of the
best novels of the best authors of the day.”

Albany Evening Journal.

TOINETTE: A Tale of Transition. By Henry Churton. 12mo. 516
pp. $1.50.

“A picturesque, vivid, passionate story...... Calculated to
entertain and deeply impress. The average novel reader will be
delighted, and there is that in it which will attract the most cultivated
and fastidious.”

Cincinnati Times.

THE CIRCUIT RIDER; A Tale of the Heroic Age. By Edward
Eggleston. 12mo. Illustrated. $1.75.

“The breezy freshness of the Western prairie, blended with the refinements
of literary culture. It is alive with the sound of rushing
streams and the echoes of the forest, but shows a certain graceful
self-possession which betrays the presence of the artist's power.”

N. Y. Tribune.

BRAVE HEARTS. A Novel. By Roberston Gray (R. W. Raymond).
12mo. Illustrated. $1.75.

“Its pictures of the strange life of those early California days are
simply admirable, quite as good as anything Bret Harte has written.”

Literary World.

A GOOD MATCH. A Novel. By Amelia Perrier. 1 vol. 12mo.
Cloth. $1.50.

“A very readable love story, tenderly
told.”

Hearth and Home.

“The characters appear and act
with a real life,”

Providence Press.
