-Claxton, Remsen Il Haffelfnger send rs
The Mill on the Floss the second volume
of Harper Il Brothers edition of George
Eliot's works. This IS the cheapest edition
of this writer's works ever published, and the
low price, - cents per volume, carries US
back in imagination TO the ante beluu period
before books became luxuries that only rich
men could indulge in. George Eliot is a
writer who deserves to be known in every
household, and we hope that the rivalry be-
tween the New York and Boston publishers
Of her works will have the effect of increas-
ing her fame as a graphic story-teller, and as
writer Of pure. forcible, and eloquent Eng
lish.
From the same house we have received
Jenkins Handy Lexicon, by Jabez Jenkins.
This work is an encyclopedia in miniature; it
is dictionary of all except the most familiar
words. and it gives just the kind of informa-
ton that everybody wants about terms that
everybody ought to know. but which nobody
does know Just when the knowledge is wanted.
The principal scientific and technical terms
are given. and also foreign moneys, weights
and measures. common Latin and French
phrases. many Of the names Of classical mythO-
/ logv. ard others too numerous to mention. This
/ !. Z book that en- be carried in the pocket for

I # immense utility 70 al classes, learned and
unlearEed.
