in the West-India Islands. By FRED A. OBER. New
edition. With maps and illustrations. $1.50.

"During two years he visited mountains, forests, and people, that few, if any, tourists had ever reached before. He carried his camera with him, and photographed from nature the scenes by which the book is illustrated."--_Louisville Courier-Journal._

Scotland and Ireland=

By J. M. BAILEY, the "'Danbury News' Man." 12mo.

"The peculiar humor of this writer is well known. The British Isles have never before been looked at in just the same way,--at least, not by any one who has notified us of the fact. Mr. Bailey's travels possess, accordingly, a value of their own for the reader, no matter how many previous records of journeys in the mother country he may have read."--_Rochester Express._

SPEAKING PIECES FOR LITTLE SCHOLARS AND OLDER PUPILS

BY ELLEN ORTENSIA PECK

Price, boards, 50 cents

THIS, in very truth, is a "rare gem of a book" of its character. In common phrase, it "fills the bill" for the exceedingly useful purpose for which it was designed. The book includes within its pages original recitations and dialogues, charades and entertainments for school exhibitions and home pleasure, with pieces for birthday and wedding anniversaries, Decoration Day, and other occasional celebrations. The foundation purpose of the book is grand,--the many varieties of composition, which include almost numberless methods of expressing beautiful and valuable thoughts and sentiments; the remarkable adaptability of the pieces to elevate the mind, attract the quick and abiding interest of the reader; the noble spirit; the persuasive and gentle rhythm; rich, yet plain language,--render this little volume one of substantial merit and permanent worth; and as the simple expression of great thoughts appeals to young and old alike, so "Speaking Pieces" will find admirers other than "little scholars and older pupils."
