OJu SOuCOEu- IlkuWhgb A1u wsys," by Margaret Sidney. New and en- larged edition with more than fifty illus trations from drawings and photographs. The charm of this volume lies partly in the fact that the writer lives in this ideal New England town and has absorbed the atmosphere of It's historic and literary life. Mrs. Lsthrop loves the homes and hsunts Of Concord, its scenery, its tradi- tions, its historic associations, and de- scribes them delightfully."-, with the enthu- sissm of the lover and the ease of the skilled writer. The illustrations add beau ty and value to her work. They were chosen with intimate knowledge of the finest points of view, both scenic and his toTic. Some of them are from drawings, others from photographs, and two are fac similes of old and quaint engrsrings. These pictures have been exquisitely re- produced, and the handsome type, paper and binding, help to mske up 8 very at trsctive gift-book, which will probably be the means of slluring many more summer pilgrims to the highways and byways of classic, quiet Concord D. Lothrop & Co.,, Boston. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 "Paul and Virginia" by Bernardin De Saint Pierre. Illustrated with etchings by Laguillermie. The dear old classic ap- pears in new and very beautiful holiday dress, printed on heavy paper and with dainty binding of parchment snd silk. It is published by Estes SS Lsurist of Boston in series of classics very appropriately called the Exquisite series." For gale by E. P. Judd.
 "Aunt Liefy," by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson, perhaps surpasses all this authors studies of New England character. Aunt Liefy. rather warped and selfish crea- ture, tells the story of the incident which wrought in her 8 complete sympathetic change in words which abound in simple humor and pathos. The sketch Is 8 de- lightful one, but the book Is marred by some of the most dreadful Illustrations possible. One must shut the eyes to these pictures If the story Is to be enjoyed. A. D. F. Randolph x O., New York. For sale by E. P. Judd.
 "The Unmarried Womsn," by Eliza Chester. A very bright book, full of cheer, helpfulness and good sense, and written iu style that is simple as it Is easy and polished, A book worth reading by others than those for whom 1t was specially written.

 Broken Chords. Crossed by the Echo of False Note," by Mrs. George McClel- Ian, (Hsrford Fleming,) author of "A Carpet Knight.
