The publishers In getting up these two
volumes have exhausted the printers
and bookbinder's art. They are superb
in every respect, and would be an orna-
ment to any library. and an attraction on
any table.
The serials are. of course, the very best
OF their kind, and the short stories are
good. One great charm about the matter
In this magazine is, that it is pure in tone,
and elevating in character. While it is
chiefly intended for the young folks, a
great deal of what il contains has great

THE HERMIT. Illustrated. J. B. Lppincott
Company, Philadelphia, publishers.
This superb volume is as handsome as
anything that is likely to be issued for the
holiday season. The price of it is SO, and
it is well worth the money. The poem is
short, but is one OF Oliver Goldsmith's
finest productions. The poem, however,
is not the attraction of the volume. The
illustrations are what make it valuable.
Too much cannot be said in praise of
them. For holiday present. it is all that
any one could wish. The binding and
typographical WORK are of the best.
