TICKNOR & COMPANY'S NEW BOOKS,

SPRING OF 1886.

The prices named below are subject to revision on publication.

THE STORY OF MARGARET KENT. By HENRY HAYES. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

A new and thrilling novel of literary life in New York, written with masterly skill. One of the most exacting of reviewers says that it will "convince and touch thoughtful and sensitive readers"; and another, a well-known novelist and poet, says: "The plot and situations are original and natural. It is out of the common run, and sparkles with life—real life—and deep feeling."

AMERICAN WHIST. By G.W.P. 1 vol. 16mo. Sixth Edition, Revised. $1.00.

A new and fully revised and much-enlarged edition of this foremost classic, best teacher, and wisest companion as to the most enjoyable game of cards. After running through several successful editions during the past five years, this invaluable book is now to be brought out improved in many ways, and will be indispensable to all who play Whist.

CLEOPATRA. By HENRY GREVILLE. Original Copyright Edition, with new Portrait. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.25.

"Cleopatra" is a brilliant new novel by the author of "Dosia" and "Dosia's Daughter," who is acknowledged as foremost among the European novelists of to-day. The remarkable success that has attended Henry Greville's previous works, foreshadows the popular demand for "Cleopatra," her latest (and in many respects, her best) novel.

EVERY-DAY RELIGION. By REV. JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE, D.D., Author of "Self-Culture," "The Ideas of Paul," &c., &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

An admirable group of terse, strong, and practical discourses on the religion of the home, the office, the work-shop, and the field. It tells how, amid the cares and annoyances of this workaday world, one may grow towards a noble and peaceful life. It will be an invaluable companion, an indispensable "guide, philosopher, and friend." The eminent success of JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE in works of this high class is shown by the great popularity of his "Self-Culture," which is now in its eleventh edition.

EDGE-TOOLS OF SPEECH. By MATURIN M. BALLOU, Author of "A Treasury of Thought," "Due South," &c., &c. 1 vol. 8vo. $3.50.

A great new work, in which are preserved the choicest expressions and opinions of the great thinkers and writers of all ages, from Confucius to Ruskin. These pungent apothegms and brilliant memorabilia are all carefully classified by topics; so that the choicest work of many years of patient labor in the libraries of America and Europe is condensed into perfect form and made readily available. It will be indispensable to all writers and speakers, and should be in every library.—Traveller.

LIGHT ON THE HIDDEN WAY. With an Introduction by JAMES FREEMAN CLARKE. 1 vol. 16mo. $1.00.

A remarkable and thrilling romance of immortality, illustrating by an account of personal experiences the relations between the seen and the unseen. All readers of the literature of the supernatural in books like "The Little Pilgrim," &c., will be profoundly interested in this strange record of the nearness of the spiritual and material worlds.

TWO COLLEGE GIRLS. By HELEN DAWES BROWN. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

One of the most important of forthcoming books. It is a capital study of girl-students from Boston, New York, and Chicago, exemplifying the most piquant characteristics of the respective phases of civilization and social criteria of the three cities. It is suited alike to old and young, being rich in beautiful passages of tender pathos, strong, simple and vivid, and full of sustaining interest. Nothing has been published since "Little Women" that will so strike the popular taste.

INDIAN SUMMER. By W.D. HOWELLS, Author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American sort."—The Nation.

THE PRELATE. By ISAAC HENDERSON. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.

CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS. By CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT. Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol. Large 12mo., with many full page illustrations. $2.50.

This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book of Legendary Art,"—of which seventeen large editions have been exhausted. The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols by which men's minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The "Stories of the Saints" will be illustrated by numerous full page engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of Christian Art—prominence being given to scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and notable Saints of the Religious Orders.

JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY. By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE, Author of "The Led Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to be compared with our best women novelists. To make this comparison briefly, Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly, and Mrs. Foote feels intensely."—The Critic.

MONOGRAPHS OF AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE.

No. II. THE HARTFORD CAPITOL. R.M. Upjohn, Architect.

No. III. AMES MEMORIAL BUILDINGS, NORTH EASTON. H.H. Richardson, Architect.

Gelatine Plates (from nature), 13 x 16. Each in portfolio. $5.00.

The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing for artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted for the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building of the Connecticut State Capitol. This possesses perhaps even a higher interest than the Harvard Law School, because it is a great public building, and not an appendage of an institution.

The American Architect says: "The execution of the work is all that could be asked. It would be hard to offer a more encouraging example of the kind of work to be expected in this series."

A STROLL WITH KEATS. By FRANCES CLIFFORD BROWN. 1 vol. Illustrated. Square 16mo. $1.50.

One of the choicest gems of art in illustration, consisting of illuminated pages, in beautiful designs, illustrating some of the finest verses of the great English poet.

NEXT DOOR. By CLARA LOUISE BURNHAM, Author of "Dearly Bought," "A Sane Lunatic," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

One of the brightest, prettiest, and most charming tales yet offered to the public. The scene is in Boston, the time the present, the plot exciting, the characters lifelike, while the style is graceful and skilful.

POETS AND PROBLEMS. By GEORGE WILLIS COOKE, Author of "Emerson; His Life, Writings and Philosophy." 1 vol. 12mo. $2.00.

Mr. Cooke brings to his work the most inexhaustible and painstaking patience, the most thorough devotion to the labor he has undertaken, and the deepest mental sympathy with his subjects. His present work embraces Tennyson, Ruskin, and Browning.

THE SPHINX'S CHILDREN AND OTHER PEOPLE'S. By ROSE TERRY COOKE, Author of "Somebody's Neighbors," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

This volume of short stories, reprinted from the author's contributions to the "Atlantic," "Harper's," "The Galaxy," &c., will be found like "Somebody's Neighbors," to show "that profound insight into Puritan character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs. Cooke has but one equal, and no superior. These exquisite chronicles are full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous and spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic skill."

THE LIFE AND GENIUS OF GOETHE. The Lectures at the Concord School of Philosophy for 1885. Edited by F.B. SANBORN and W.T. HARRIS. 1 vol. 12mo. With 2 portraits. $2.00.

A work of exceptional interest, containing fifteen of the lectures concerning Goethe which were read at the Concord School of Philosophy last summer. Prof. Hewett furnishes an account of the newly-discovered Goethe manuscripts for the introduction to the volume. Among the writers are Drs. Bartol and Hedge, Mrs. Howe, Mrs. Cheney, Mrs. Sherman of Chicago, Mr. Soldan of St. Louis, Mr. Snider of Cincinnati, Mr. Partridge of Brooklyn, N.Y., Mr. Davidson of New Jersey, Prof. White of Ithaca, N.Y., and Messrs. Emery, Harris, and Sanborn of Concord, the last named the editor.—Traveller.

THE OLDEN-TIME SERIES. 16mo. Per vol., 50 cents.

There appears to be, from year to year, a growing popular taste for quaint and curious reminiscences of "Ye Olden Time," and to meet this, Mr. Henry M. Brooks has prepared a series of interesting handbooks. The materials have been gleaned chiefly from old newspapers of Boston and Salem, sources not easily accessible, and while not professing to be history, the volumes will contain much material for history, so combined and presented as to be both amusing and instructive. The titles of some of the volumes indicate their scope and their promise of entertainment:—"Curiosities of the Old Lottery," "Days of the Spinning Wheel," "Some Strange and Curious Punishments," "Quaint and Curious Advertisements," "Literary Curiosities," "New-England Sunday," etc.

THE IMPERIAL ISLAND—ENGLAND'S CHRONICLE IN STONE. By JAMES F. HUNNEWELL. 1 vol. 8vo. Richly illustrated. $3.50.

This admirable and impressive work is a companion to the same author's well-known "Historical Monuments of France," and contains a vivid record of the life of Merrie England, as exemplified by her august castles and palaces, abbeys and cathedrals.

Also a limited edition de Luxe, with Proof Portraits.

THE

AMERICAN ARCHITECT

AND BUILDING NEWS.

An Illustrated Weekly Journal of Architecture and the Building Trades.

Each number is accompanied by six fine quarto illustrations, while illustrative cuts are liberally used in the text. Although the paper addresses itself primarily to architects and builders, by its discussions upon matters of interest common to those engaged in building pursuits, it is the object of the editors to make it acceptable and necessary to that large portion of the educated classes who are interested in and appreciate the importance of good architectural surroundings, to civil and sanitary engineers, draughtsmen, antiquaries, craftsmen of all kinds, and all intelligent readers.

As an indication of the feeling with which this journal is regarded by the profession, we quote the following extract from a report of a committee of the American Institute of Architects upon "American Architectural Journals":—

"At Boston, Mass., is issued the AMERICAN ARCHITECT AND BUILDING NEWS, a weekly of the first class, and, it must be acknowledged, the only journal in this country that can compare favorably with the great London architectural publications. It is very liberally illustrated with full-page lithographic impressions of the latest designs of our most noted architects, and with occasional views of celebrated European buildings. Once a month a fine gelatine print is issued in a special edition. Its editorial department is conducted in a scholarly, courteous, and, at the same time, independent tone, and its selections made with excellent judgment. It is the accepted exemplar of American architectural practice, and is found in the office of almost every architect in the Union."—April 15, 1885.
