NEW PUBLICATI

The Harper Brothers continue to increase
their Library of Select Novels by additions
which the readers of fiction will gladly well
come. They now add "Anteros," new novel
by the author of "Guy Livingstone" and other
favorite works, also new volume by Mrs. J.
Riddell, who is likewise well and favorably
known to the reading public. This last work
says the Saturday Review, "has the same
gentle philosophy and undaunted questioning
the same strength of situation and purity OF
treatment, so noticeable in its predecessors"
Clapp & North have them. s
The Appletons make additions to their Ii
brary of Choice Novels in the publication Of
"Good for Nothing" which must not be taken
in literary capacity to be as its title is, but
quite the reverse; also Gabrielle Andre, IAN
historical novel, having the theatre of its in
cidents in France and the time that of the
French Revolution. 1t illustrates the state
Of feeling in France at that period and par
ticularly in regard to Church and State, and
has an application to modern events. Clapp
& North have it for sale.
We have from the Harpers, DR.. Smiths
Smaller Scripture History, designed to supply
a condensed manual of scripture history for
the junior classes in schools and for family
use. This is a very neat and handy book for
its purpose. 1t is simple, confined to leading
facts in the scriptures, avoiding critical dis
cussion and theological exposition. 1t does
not take the place of the Bible but is to be
used with it. 1t is well arranged and will be
found valuable by those who use it. Clapp &
North have it.
The Harper Brothers publish in a neatly
bound volume 1.-The Head of the Family" q
work by Miss Mulcck, well known by her
writings W hich have gone widely over the coun-
try. This tale is good companion to John
Halifax Gentleman" and 1.-THE Ogilvies." In
its descriptions and relations of Scottish life,
manners and scenery, there is deep charm,
and the simple story is unfolded with the
skill Of one who knows what win move the
heart. Clapp & North have it.
An important autobiography is that just
published by the Harpers under the title of
1.-The Life and Times of Henry Lord Brough-
am, written by Himself" The distinguished
statesman prepared the matter for this volume
before his death, with instructions to his ex-
ecutor to have it faithfully published exactly
as he wrote it. These instructions have been
followed. No changes have been made in his
work, which now goes out as a record of the
times and life of one of the most prominent
men of his period. 1t is unnecessary to add
that the work is Of special interest. 1t will be
read by thousands with pleasure and instruc-
ton. Clapp & North have it.

titled "The Pestalozzian Music Teacher, or
Glass Instructor in Elementary Music in ac-
cordance with the Analytic Method" The
