The house has In preparation an elegantly
illustrated work which is intended as a reli-

from the pencil of Mary A. Lathbury, whose
talent for illustration is we'll known. 1t is
tation book Of the season, not only In style
and character but in price.
The popular belief that anything was good
enough for children to read has undergone
q very decided change within the past few
years. Thirty years ago the books which made
yond belief They repelled rather than at
tracted, not because they were moral in tone,
but because they lacked sympathy and inter-
est, est The The Writer'S | % were good people, and i'm;
to forget that children required altogether
different literary pabulum from grown people.
The result was what might have been expec-
ted. The books which ought to have attract
ed them were discarded for sensational stories
whose literary style was execrable and whose
morals was always doubtful One Of the first
book publishing houses in the country which
attempted to reform this condition of things
was D. Lothrop & Co. Mr.. Lothrop had long
believed in the possibility Of pure and eleva-
should combine talent of q high degree with
mora! and religious teaching, and which, in
addition 20 these qualifications, should be
determination, courage and money to carry
out this idea, but it was carried out, and to day
Mr: Lothrop stands at the head of house
other in the county. The best aVsabie S@ tal
ent is secured, and the dress in which his books
bility. Many publishers exhaust themselves
in bringing out single illustrated Juvenile
for the holidays, while this firm offers perhaps
to the reproduction of English juVen-
lie publications with which the boOk-market is
flooded during the holiday seasons.
