RuTH ERsErNE's CROSSES. BY Pansy. Boston /:
d. Lothrop & Co. S1.50.
"Among the few prominent publishing
houses which make a specalty OF Sunday
school literature, none deserves more highly ut
the hands OF the Christian public than d. Loth-
rop u Co. Their presses seem consecrated TO
the making of books and parers-pure, whole
some and saic-for the yonng. In this day,
when money-Daking seems to be along the line
OF the Issuance OF vicious and trashy stuif, 1t Is
q matter for cungratua:ion that purely secular
houses can stcrny resist the Tide and devote
themselves to the publication Of only what lie
elevating and good.
These remarks are called forth by reading the

"Four Girls at Chautauqua" and the "Chautau-

Pansy has given us real and not ideal life.
The book is worthy contribution 10 the
series, and the series ought TO be In every Sun.

D. Lothrop Il Co.'s publishing house, on the

large one, measuring 40xl20 feet, high studded,
and lighted 1t is upon three sides is peculiarly
pleasant aud admirably adapted to the comfort
and convenience of book-lovers. Besides this
room, Lothrop & Co. occupy two floors above,
respectively for binding and composition. The
extent of their transactions Is something won
derful, and we echo the exclamation OF the good
man OF Uz, "Of the making OF many books
there Is no end" when VIC are told this one
house alone has list of publications number
ing nine hundred volumes, makes every year
more than half million books, and will issue
this tall hundred entirely new works. The
firm has many spccialties, among which may
be mentioned albums, OF which they the
