Small Maynard & Co., g Beacon street

biographies that seem TO answer all tn,
needs Of a small handbook that contains
the all-important facts of a life Of gen.
eral interest. Five volumes before us
contain each a sketch OF one great
American career-Robert +. Lee, Dan
iel Webster, Phillips Brooks, $. r.
Lowell, and David Farragut, The bi.
ograhy is in each case complied by O
special authority on the subject un-
dertaken, and the whole series is under
the editorship Of VI. A. De Wolfe Howe
Volumes in preparation are Audubon,
Edwin Booth, Aaron Burr, Fennimore
Cooper, and Franklin.
The aim OF this series is to furnish
brief, readable, and authenic accounts
OF the lives Of those Americans whose
personalities have impressed themselves
most deeply on the character and his
tory Of their country. On account OF
the length Of the formal lives, often run
ming into large volumes, the average
busy man and woman have not the
time or hardly the inclination 10 ac-
quaint themselves with American BIZ
ograpny. In the present series every
thing that such reader would ordi.
narily care 10 know il given by writers
Of special competence, who possess in
full measure the best contemporary
point Of view Each volume is equipped
with a frontispiece portrait, calender
Of important dates, and brief biblio-
graphy for further reading. Finally,
the volumes are printed in form con-
yenient for reading and for carrying
handily in the pocket.

Oh, hear the gay boboink carol in glee
A beam on the bough Of the low apple

Or circling about in a dream Of delight
Where cloyer-seas dimple in crimson

No care his heart troubles;
With rapture lac brims
While madly he bubbles.

As shrilly he ffes ia the mossy stone
