"A work of distinguished merit, showing a rare familiarity with the sources of history, and a thorough and careful reading of all that can throw any light upon the delicate question of historical accuracy raised in the volume. That such a work should be produced in America is a credit to our scholarship, and we trust that the author will receive the encouragement which he eminently deserves."-Booksellers' Guide.

They are unique in many respects. Our bleak and rocky New England sea-coast-the scenery which Harry Fenn's pencil has so well delineated-all the wonders of atmospherical and sea change, have, I think, never before been so musically and tenderly sung about."-JOHN G. WHITTIER,

"A delicious little volume, that finds an appropriate place among holiday books of the most charming sort. Celia Thaxter is one of our sweetest singers, and this collection of her songs will find a welcome in thousands of hearts. The book is published in the most elegant and tasteful style."-Boston Post.

V. LANDMARKS; and other Poems. By JOHN JAMES PIATT, author of "Western Windows." In one vol. 16mo, cloth.

$1.50.

"There is a delicious idealization of the common life, by the poet, in some of these, that entitles him to rank high among the poets of Nature. We seem to hear the sharp, frosty ring of the woodman's axe, through a glorified atmosphere of soft smoke from the burning logs and underbrush, the picturesque confusion of the clearings,' with their piles of debris waiting the torch, giving an open foreground of unrivalled animation and beauty."-Ohio State Fournal.
