The popularity of this book has increased steadily for the last ten years, and the sale has reached the extraordinary number of

Over 100,000 Copies.

Many housekeepers will gladly welcome their old friend in a new dress, and renew their copies worn by constant use; or, as the author herself expresses it, “I hope my fellow-workers will find their old kitchen companion in fresh dress, yet more serviceable than before, and that their daughters may, at the close of a second decade, demand new stereotype plates for still another and like this a progressive edition.”

With the new edition of “_Common Sense_,” the Publishers will issue, in uniform style:

THE DINNER YEAR BOOK.

One volume, 12mo, 720 pp., cloth, or “Kitchen Edition,”
without colored plates $1.75.

“One of the ablest of recent American novels, and indeed of all recent works of fiction.”—LONDON SPECTATOR.

ROXY.

BY

EDWARD EGGLESTON,

Author of “The Hoosier Schoolmaster,” “Circuit Rider,” Etc.

One volume, 12mo, cloth, with Twelve full-page Illustrations from original designs by Mr. Walter Shirlaw.

Price, $1.50.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

“‘Roxy’ may be accepted as the latest example of a
purely American novel, and to say the least, one of the
very best.”—_New York Tribune._

“In this novel Mr. Eggleston’s powers appear at their
best and amplest, and he has accomplished the by no
means easy task of excelling himself.”—_Boston Journal._

“There can be no doubt whatever that ‘Roxy’ is the best
product of Dr. Eggleston’s activity in the field of
fiction.”—_New York Eve. Post._

“As a pure, but vigorous American romance, Mr.
Eggleston’s new work is better even than his ‘Hoosier
Schoolmaster’ and ‘Circuit Rider.’”—_Phila. Eve.
Bulletin._

“It strengthens the author’s position as a writer who
has brought new life and a decided manliness into our
native fiction.”—_Boston Courier._

“‘Roxy,’ a story whose purport and power
are much deeper than the author has before
reached.”—_Springfield Republican._

“The story is powerfully told, and if Mr. Eggleston
had written nothing else, ‘Roxy’ would place him in
a foremost position among American authors.”—_N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser._

“Its pictures of Western life are vivid, and throughout
betray the hand of a master in literature and
fiction.”—_Episcopal Register._

“As a faithful picture of American life, it ranks far
above any novel published in the United States during
the past twenty years.”—_Brooklyn Times._

“We advise our readers to buy and read ‘Roxy.’ They
will find the plot deeply interesting, and will gather
from it not only transient pleasure, but permanent
good.”—_Louisville Post._

“The story of ‘Roxy’ is Dr. Eggleston’s best work. It
attains a higher merit than his other works in epic
purpose as well as a dramatic form.”—_The Methodist._

“Buy the book and read it, as it is well worth the time
spent to do it.”—_Washington Chronicle._

⁂ _The above book for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent, post or express charges paid, upon receipt of the price by the publishers,_

“_To those who love a pure diction, a healthful tone,
and thought that leads up to the higher and better
aims, that gives brighter color to some of the hard,
dull phases of life, that awakens the mind to renewed
activity, and makes one mentally better, the prose and
poetical works of Dr. Holland will prove an ever new,
ever welcome source from which to draw._”—NEW HAVEN
PALLADIUM.

Complete Writings of Dr. J. G. Holland.

Messrs. CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS have now completed the issue of a New Edition of Dr. Holland’s Writings, printed from new plates, in a very attractive style, in artistic binding, and at a greatly reduced price.

It is believed that the aggregate sale of Dr. Holland’s Books, amounting as it does to half a million volumes, exceeds the circulation of the writings of any other American author. There is not a single book of his which has not had an unquestionable success, and most of them have been in such constant and increasing demand that the plates were actually worn out.

“_Dr. Holland will always find a congenial audience in the homes of culture and refinement. He does not affect the play of the darker and fiercer passions, but delights in the sweet images that cluster around the domestic hearth. He cherishes a strong fellow-feeling with the pure and tranquil life in the modest social circles of the American people, and has thus won his way to the companionship of many friendly hearts._”—N. Y. TRIBUNE.
