TICKNOR AND COMPANY'S

NEW BOOKS

Published during the autumn and winter of

A famous American author writes that this is "a very amusing and well-told story, original and infinitely amusing. The differences in character and temperament, the thousand and one little situations that are derived from these differences, are very cleverly delineated. The elaboration of the narrative, which winds along through the household duties and the neighbors' peculiarities, is something after the style of Miss Austen."

#THE LIFE AND WORKS OF GIORDANO BRUNO.# A new volume of the English and Foreign Philosophical Library. 408 pages. 8vo. With portrait. .50.

Indispensable to students, writers, and libraries. It gives a collection of short, sententious sayings of all times, such as are constantly referred to, but are not to be found in other books of reference. A short sketch of each speaker, and the circumstances attending each remark, is also given. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and corrected throughout, with new indexes and tables of authors, and the addition of over fifty pages, bringing the work down to the latest time, and quoting eighty authors not before included, and containing over three hundred new sayings from Agassiz, Choate, President Cleveland, Emerson, Evarts, Carlyle, Gladstone, Wellington, Parnell, etc.

A very valuable historical work, which should be kept in every library for reference and for the vigor of its delineations of the great historic epochs.

The Catacombs, as Cemeteries and as Martyrs' Retreats; The Buddhist Monks of Central Asia; The Christian Monks; Augustine, Anselm, Bernard; Jeanne d'Arc's Visions, Victories, and Death; Savonarola and the Renaissance; Luther; Loyola; The Mystics--Neo-Platonists, German Pietists, F?nelon, Swedenborg, Emerson; George Fox; The Huguenots, Waldenses, Albigenses; John Wesley; The Moravians and Methodists.

An eminent Boston critic writes: "This should be THE novel of the season. The lively fancy of the author touches lightly and wittily upon several of the popular interests of the day, such as Shakespeare societies, the Browning craze, mind cure, etc., and from titlepage to finis there is not a dull paragraph. So brilliant and entertaining a story as 'Sons and Daughters' is not often met with, and it should have, as it deserves, the widest reading."

The remarkable popularity and great sales which made "Margaret Kent" one of the foremost books of the last year seem likely to be repeated in this new novel by the same author. It sparkles with the real life and deep feeling, and has the same admirable social setting, that have made "Margaret Kent" a name to conjure by wherever the best of literature is known.

"Happy Dodd" is a beautiful and tender novel of New-England life especially adapted for home reading, and breathing out a strengthening spirit of Christian love and heroism.

#SCOTT'S THE LAY OF THE LAST MINSTREL.# Edited, with Notes and Introduction, by W. J. ROLFE, A. M. 1 vol. 12mo. Beautifully illustrated. 75 cents.

A keen and brilliant social study, by one of the most spirited writers of Boston.

A learned and valuable treatise on the greatest of German poems, giving its history, critical standards, and outline, and careful analyses and explanations of all the scenes and situations, as seen from a philosophical point of view.

The immediate and permanent success of "The Lady of the Lake," "Marmion," etc., has encouraged the publishers to bring out this not less popular and famous poem. It is produced in the same style, and with the same careful and elaborate style of illustration, regardless of cost, while Mr. Anthony's skilful supervision is sufficient guarantee that the work is elegant and tasteful as well as correct.

A careful and dispassionate account of the great retreat from the Rapidan to the Potomac, with the stories of its terrible battles, prepared by prominent military officers, and dealing with the Second Bull-Run campaign, the Fitz-John Porter affair, and other interesting matters.

A WONDERFUL WORK OF ART.

Mrs. Browning's Love Sonnets.

This magnificent work has been a labor of love for years with the artist, who is the prince of decorators, and has lavished upon it all the resources of his imagination and skill. The result is a magnificent monument to the poems that are enshrined therein, and a series of designs, the equals of which as a mere treasury of decoration and invention, apart from their significance in illustrating the immortal verse of Mrs. Browning, have never been issued in America. Each sonnet is prefaced by a richly ornamental half-title, on a full page, and is surrounded by a handsome border, emblematic in its design and composition. Mr. Ipsen has for many years been recognized as the foremost leader of art-decoration for books, both inside and outside, and has set more fashions for imitation than any other artist. This book is his crowning work, and will afford an inexhaustible treasury of decoration for students of art, and a life-study for all lovers of beauty and symmetry. Mrs. Browning's sonnets are among the noblest productions of ancient or modern literature; and their literary excellence and incomparable beauty of diction insure for them certain immortality.

A new book by Mr. Whipple is a literary event; and so many years have elapsed since his last publication, that the interest will be more intense in the present volume, which contains some of his most charming and characteristic papers, including monographs on Sumner, Motley, Agassiz, Choate, and George Eliot.

This work, historical and descriptive, gives a complete r?sum? of the History of Art, with accounts of the various schools, sketches, and anecdotes of all the great artists, with portraits and reproductions of their works. The author is well known as a charming writer and an acknowledged authority on art criticism and history.

The author is, perhaps, the best living authority on Persia, and this book embodies the results of his observation and experience during the years of his residence as United States Minister, combining novel and entertaining adventures and descriptions, with political and other observations of great value. His rare skill as a landscape painter has availed to give many choice pictures of the great Asiatic realm, with its stores of poetry and legend, its strange customs, and its romantic scenery and architecture.

A series of very delightful essays and papers, with reminiscences and other memorable papers, prepared by one of the most skilful and interesting of American authors, and calculated to attract and keep the attention of all readers. It includes a great variety of valuable miscellany, and several papers that have already become classic among people of cultivation and acumen.

The announcement of an entirely new novel from the pen of the writer of "Adventures of a Widow," etc., is sufficient to pique the curiosity of many readers, who find in this author the best traits of modern literature. "The House at High Bridge" is an entirely new work, not having been published serially.

#NORA PERRY'S NEW SONGS AND BALLADS.# 12mo. Gilt top and rough edges. .50.

A new volume of poems by Nora Perry is now ready, and its publication will be welcomed with great interest by the thousands of admirers of this brilliant and piquant writer.

A re-issue of the entire collected poetical works of Nora Perry, previous to the publication of "New Songs and Ballads." They were formerly published in two volumes, but are now made into one.

Founded upon a romantic episode in early Massachusetts history, introducing by name prominent people of the day, with descriptions of their characters and appearance, weaving in historical events, such as the Louisburg Expedition, Church Squabbles, and the Spinning Craze, and giving a realistic picture of life under the royal governors,--a book which, apart from the thrilling interest of the story, is of permanent value as a painstaking study of an historical epoch.

The well-known and erudite Senator from Vermont has, in this work, condensed the fruits of years of curious research in a strange and unfamiliar field. The result is a rarely entertaining volume of great value to all scholars and public men, and interesting to all readers. A small edition was privately printed some time since, and met with such praise and appreciation that Senator Morrill has since carefully revised and materially augmented it for publication.

This is the latest and one of the best of the novels of the author of "Dosia," the most popular and famous of Parisian novelists.

A brilliant and picturesque romance in verse, dealing with the period of the Minnesingers, in the Rheinland, Padua, and Auvergne. Mr. Carpenter has long been known as one of our most spirited and vigorous poets.
