SUNNY MEMORIES
OF
FOREIGN LANDS;
A Book of Travels,
BY
MRS. H. BEECHER STOWE,
AUTHOR OF “UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.”

In 2 volumes, duodecimo,
PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED WITH HIGHLY FINISHED WOOD ENGRAVINGS,
FROM DESIGNS BY BILLINGS.

The publishers are aware that they need do no more than to announce this work, for
the thousands who have read “Uncle Tom” will welcome any new production from the
same pen. Yet it is but just to say that these volumes are written in the author's happiest
vein; and that they would have created a great sensation, and would have met
with a very large sale, if published anonymously.

The public, who have been wearied with the perusal of countless books of travel taking
the same beaten paths, will be surprised at the freshness and absorbing interest with
which this gifted author has invested the subject. From the voyage to the return, the
reader follows her guidance with unquestioning delight.

Will be issued early in June.

HIS × MARK.

Illustrated with Engravings
FROM ORIGINAL DESIGNS BY BILLINGS AND OTHER ARTISTS.

To be completed in about fifteen numbers.

The principal character in the novel is an ambitious youth from the country, who,
coming poor and inexperienced to the city, attempts to earn a livelihood and to win a
name in literary pursuits. In following his varied fortunes, the author will give sketches
of life and society, drawn with a free hand, with touches of humor and satire, and with
vigorous strokes portraying the tragedy of human passion.

No young author in America has had a greater number of readers than “Paul Creyton.”
The works by which he is most widely known are read with delight by persons of
all classes and ages; for his fidelity to nature, and the charm of every-day life which
surrounds his pictures, appeal to every heart. His style is at once easy and forcible;
an atmosphere of the purest moral sentiment pervades his writings; and his sympathies
are ever with the humble, the generous, and the true.

A WORK OF GREAT INTEREST!

Extract from the Introduction, by J. H. Merle D'Aubigne.

“I wish to recommend the narrative to the notice of all friends of Protestant faith.
No complete history of the church of God in Hungary has as yet been published.” “The
work that we now offer to the public ought, therefore, to be considered worthy of attention,
were it only for its novelty; but more particularly so on account of the labor that has
been bestowed on its composition. The author is a man possessed of enlightened piety,
sound judgment, integrity, faithfulness, and Christian wisdom, — qualities well calculated
to inspire perfect confidence. He has obtained his materials from the most authentic
sources. Government edicts, convent protocols, visitation reports, and official correspondence,
have all been consulted with scrupulous attention, as is proved by the numerous
quotations he cites. He has thus sought to place the authenticity of his book on an
indisputable basis, and at the same time to render it impervious to the shafts of hostile
criticism.”

Orders from the trade respectfully solicited.
