THE END.

BY CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.

As We Were Saying.

With Portrait, and Illustrated by H. W. MACVICKAR and others.

16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.

Mr. Warner is both wise and witty, and in his charming style he follows a model of his own.--_Boston Traveller._

Mr. Warner has such a fine fancy, such a clever way of looking at the things that interest everybody, such a genial humor, that one never tires of him or the children of his pen.--_Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette._

Our Italy.

An Exposition of the Climate and Resources of Southern California.

Illustrated. 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $2 50.

In this book are a little history, a little prophecy, a few fascinating statistics, many interesting facts, much practical suggestion, and abundant humor and charm.--_Evangelist_, N. Y.

It is a book of solid value, such as a clear-headed business man will appreciate, yet it is such a book as only an accomplished man of letters could write. We commend it to all who wish further knowledge of a region too little known by Americans.--_Examiner_, N. Y.

A Little Journey in the World.

A Novel. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 50.

A powerful picture of modern life in which unscrupulously acquired capital is the chief agent.... Mr. Warner has depicted this phase of society with real power, and there are passages in his work which are a nearer approach to Thackeray than we have had from any American author.--_Boston Post._

The vigor and vividness of the tale and its sustained interest are not its only or its chief merits. It is a study of American life of to-day, possessed with shrewd insight and fidelity.--GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

Studies in the South and West.

With Comments on Canada. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 75.

A witty, instructive book, as brilliant in its pictures as it is warm in its kindness; and we feel sure that it is with a patriotic impulse that we say that we shall be glad to learn that the number of its readers bears some proportion to its merits and its power for good.--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._

A book most charming--a book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly prize.--_Boston Traveller._

Their Pilgrimage.

Richly Illustrated by C. S. REINHART. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $2 00.

Mr. Warner's pen-pictures of the characters typical of each resort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and the general tone is that of one glad to look on the brightest side of the cheerful, pleasure-seeking world.--_Christian Union_, N. Y.

PUBLISHED BY HARPER & BROTHERS, NEW YORK.

_Any of the above works sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._

NORDHOFF'S CALIFORNIA.

Peninsular California. Some Account of the Climate, Soil, Productions, and Present Condition chiefly of the Northern Half of Lower California. By CHARLES NORDHOFF. Maps and Illustrations. Square 8vo, Cloth, $1 00; Paper, 75 cents.

Mr. Nordhoff has known the region he describes for many years, and is a skilful writer as well as careful observer.--_Hartford Courant._

The author frankly writes as an advocate, but, so far as our knowledge goes, with scrupulous fairness.--_N. Y. Evening Post._

Mr. Nordhoff supplies copious appendices, giving tables of temperature, rainfall and other meteorological facts of much interest. His book is interesting, valuable, and timely.--_Epoch_, N. Y.

The reading of this volume has been of special personal pleasure to us, and we doubt not that others will enjoy it too.--_Michigan Christian Advocate._

The book is one that those who read merely for information will find interesting and instructive, while there are doubtless many by whom its economical representations will be accepted in the way that Mr. Nordhoff evidently hopes that they will be.--_Philadelphia Telegraph._

This opportune little volume will do much to enlighten us as to its real character, an enlightenment of a most practical kind.--_Geographical News._

Mr. Charles Nordhoff has added considerably to our knowledge of a country singularly neglected.--_N. Y. Sun._

Mr. Nordhoff's book is as good as a trip to the place.--_Philadelphia American._

His book is historical, descriptive, and practical, containing information about land-titles and other matters such as settlers and investors will find most useful.--_Cincinnati Times._

There is hardly a question that one contemplating purchase or residence there would wish to ask that is not answered in this book, while to all it furnishes interesting and no doubt authentic information concerning a remarkable region, of which not much has been generally known heretofore.--_Christian Intelligencer_, N. Y.

Mr. Nordhoff has personally explored and studied the region and become an owner of property in it, and he may be regarded as fully qualified to speak of what it is and promises to be. Much interesting and valuable information is contained in Mr. Nordhoff's work.--_Brooklyn Union._

Those who remember what a good prophet Mr. Nordhoff proved himself to be by his book on "California," issued some sixteen years ago, will read this volume with especial attention.--_Louisville Courier-Journal._

Mr. Nordhoff's book is not a traveller's sketch, but an exhaustive study of the country, its rulers, its products, and its inhabitants.--_Boston Commercial Bulletin._

A valuable contribution to the fund of general information concerning the "Golden State."--_Washington Post._

The information which he gives respecting the resources of the country and its progress in late years is not only interesting, but also of practical value to tourists, as well as for those who contemplate settlement.--_Lutheran Observer_, Philadelphia.

We commend the work to all persons who would like to have information about this beautiful and fruitful land.--_Christian Observer_, Louisville.

Mr. Nordhoff has for many years been familiar with the country, and the information he furnishes concerning its climate and the advantages it offers to settlers is unquestionably trustworthy.--_Saturday Evening Gazette_, Boston.

PUBLISHED BY HARPER & BROTHERS, NEW YORK.

_The above work will be sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of price._
