The popular reception of Jowett's trans
lation of THCCYDIDES, witnesses the con-
tinued interest of wide circle of Ameri-
lean readers in the choicest classical wri-
tings, and is evidence that efforts of
translators and publishers to present these
writings in new and attractive forms are
not unappreciat9d.

THE STORY OF PUFF, among books re-
lating to domestis pets, is worthy of men
ton in connection with RAB AND HIS

Among holiday gift-books, D. Lothrop
& Cos beautiful ANIMALS have come to be
regarded as standard favorites. Of names
familiar to children, and which never fail
to fall pleasantly on their ears, WIDE
AWAKE is certainly one. To fully ap
preciate the SURPRISING excellence of this
magazine, it must be compared with the
best monthlieS of its class, at home and
abroad. 1t will be found to be unequal
led. The WIDE AWAKE ANNUAL, in its
dainty dress, is therefore a superb holiday
book.
1t is not enough that the elder children
should have WIDE AWAKE, and the
youngest BABYLAND, but the 'betweens'
must be provided fol. .and, this is what that
charming monthly, Our LITTLE MEN
AND WOMEN. accOmplishes to their per
feet satisfaction. One secret to the sue
cess of D. Lothrop & Cos juvenile produc-
tions is due to the fact that they so amply
and completely provide for the needs of
the children of every age.
Among books for children which will
instruct while entertaining, the following
selections from d. Lothrops list, publish
ed in handsome quarto volumes, with IL
Illuminated covers, are unrivalled. What
the Seven did," Nan. The New Fashion
ed Girl" Hearts Content" Stories and
Pictures of Wild Animals, 'Stories and
Pictures of Domestic Animals" "My Gu
riosity Shop" Natural History StorieS,'
"The Cats Arabian Nights" and ''Lucy's
Wonderful Globe Among the writers
for these books are such celebrated au
thors as Margaret Sidney, Miss Yonge,
Julia A Eastman, Ella Farman, Mrs.D .Diaz.
Clara Doty Bates, and Mrs. Maskell. Of
their unequalled list of handsome quarto
volumes for the young, at the low price of
fifty cents and less, and their unequalled
Sunday school libraries, we have uot space
for description. Their catalogue, which
will be sent free, is worthy of study.
