A Triumph for Good Literature

A Triumph for Good Literature.
Among publishers who have car
ried into their work serious convic-
tons as to their duty to the public
in the matter of supplying god lit
erature, and who have resolutely re-
sisted all temptations in the more
lucrative direction of that which is
simply sensational, an honorable
place may be claimed for d. Lo-
throp q Co., Boston, who have ae-
complished in the United States a
work second to that of no publish
ing house, in the elevation of the
popular sentiment, and the creation
of a demand for wholesome books.
In general way, the public are
familiar with the aims of this house,
and have come to regard its imprint
upon book as a guarantee of ex-
cellence in all essential qualities.
Concerning some of its recent
publications, we present the follow
ing interesting items culled from
the American Bookseller, and other
sources:

herd, and score of other artists

In The Kingdom OF Home, with it
beautiful illustrations and elegant
binding, Mr. Arthur Gilman, with ex-
cellent Judgment, has gathered the
best of the poems that relate to the
'sKingdom" witch he has in mind;
and since the most beautiful of all
songs have been inspired by the
love which centres in the home cir
Gle, it is not too much to say that
this is a collection of the best of all
songs. Extra cloth, beYeled gilt
edge, $6.OO;Turkey morocco, antique

Praise of anything from the pen
of George Mcdonald is superfuous,
but of his new novel, Donal Grant,
published from the manuscript by
D. Lothrop d. Co., and republished
in England, those who have read it
in manuscript, say sit is a work
of genuine power, with characters
pleasant to know, and an lndescrib-
able moral quality penetra-
ting the whole" II mo. $l.50).

Spain, it is sufficient to say that it
possesses all the rare charms of
piquant style, the novelty and
freshness which characterize the

Everett Hale, and Miss Susan Hale.
