D. LOTHROP & COMPANY'S BULLETIN OF NEW BOOKS.

History of China.

By Robert K. Douglass. 12MO, CLOTH, ILLUSTRATED, $1.50.

Until this book appeared, a thoroughly good one-volume history of the
"Walled Kingdom" for popular use, was not to be had. There have been
many works upon China and the Chinese, but of these few have attempted
to summarize the history of that great empire and its citizens in a
single comprehensive work, and none have done so with such success as to
meet the popular need. In this volume we have an authentic, scholarly
and most interesting summary of Chinese history from the earliest period
to the present time. In addition to the careful editing of Mr. Arthur
Gilman, the book has had the advantage of the critical abilities of the
young Chinese scholar, Mr. Yan Phou Lee, of Yale College. The volume is
richly illustrated with appropriate engravings, and will rank among
standard books.

Southern Alaska and the Sitkan Archipelago.

By Eliza Ruhama Scidmore. FULLY ILLUSTRATED, 12MO, CLOTH, $1.50.

No book yet published bears any comparison with this volume in respect
of valuable and authentic information relating to the history,
geography, topography, climate, natural scenery, inhabitants, and rich
resources of this wonderful _terra incognita_. The author, who is a
writer of well-known reputation, has had exceptional opportunities for
the preparation of her attractive work, having visited the regions
described, at different periods, under most favorable circumstances, and
having had access to the government documents relating to the history
and surveys of Alaska, aside from the kindly assistance of the experts
and scientists best acquainted with that marvellous region. Her book has
all of the interest of a delightfully written story of adventures in a
comparatively unknown region, and with the additional value which it
possesses as the only approach thus far made to trustworthy treatise
upon the history and resources of Alaska it will commend itself to all
persons interested in that country, either as students or
_voyageurs_.

Many Colored Threads.

Selections from the writings of Goethe, edited by Carrie Adelaide
Cook. EXTRA CLOTH, $1.00.

Those familiar with the writings of the great German author, and those
who know little of them, will be alike interested in this collection of
"best thoughts." Eloquence, pathos, romance, philosophy--a wide range of
sentiment and feeling, characteristic of the life of Goethe--are
revealed in these selections. The book is a worthy companion to the six
preceding volumes of the widely-circulated "Spare Minute
Series"--_Thoughts that Breathe_, Dean Stanley; _Cheerful
Words_, George MacDonald; _The Might of Right_, Gladstone;
_True Manliness_, Thos. Hughes; _Living Truths_, Charles
Kingsley; _Right to the Point_, Dr. Cuyler.

Wide Awake, Volume I.

PLAIN CLOTH BINDING, $1.75; EXTRA BINDING, COVERS STAMPED IN COLORS AND
GOLD, $2.25.

Including Charles Egbert Craddock's serial story "Down the Ravine," with
other serials by famous authors, and nearly three hundred original
illustrations by celebrated artists.

=======================================================================

Baccalaureate Sermons.
By Rev. A.B. Peabody, D.D.LL.D. 12MO, $1.25.

The sermons contained in this volume, delivered before the graduating
classes of Harvard University, it is safe to say are not excelled by any
productions of their kind. They are not only rarely appropriate, as
discourses addressed to educated young men upon the threshold of active
life, but are models of logical thought, and graceful rhetoric worthy
the study of all ministers.

Interrupted.
By Pansy (Mrs. G.R. Alden). EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.50.

It has all the charm of this most popular author's fascinating style,
grown riper each year, and possessing more of the peculiar power by
which she adapts herself to her varied audience. More than a hundred
thousand of Pansy's books are sold every year.

Within the Shadow.
By Dorothy Holroyd. 12MO, CLOTH, $1.25.

"The most successful book of the year." "The plot is ingenious, yet not
improbable, the character drawing strong and vigorous, the story
throughout one of brilliancy and power." "The book cannot help making a
sensation."--_Boston Transcript._ "The author is an original and
vigorous writer, and at once takes rank with the best writers of
American fiction."--_Toledo Journal._ "A story of such brilliancy
and power as to at once entitle its author to recognition as a writer of
high ability."--_Journal Press_, St. Cloud. "The author has skill
in invention with the purest sentiment and good natural
style."--_Boston Globe._

How Success is Won.
(Little Biographies. Third Series.) By Sarah K. Bolton. PRICE, $1.

This is the best of the recent books of this popular class of biography;
all its "successful men" are Americans, and with two or three exceptions
they are living and in the full tide of business and power. In each
case, the facts have been furnished to the author by the subject of the
biography, or by family friends; and Mrs. Bolton has chosen from this
authentic material those incidents which most fully illustrate the
successive steps, and the ruling principles, by which success has been
gained. A portrait accompanies each biography.

In Case of Accident.
By Dr. D.A. Sargent. ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, 60 CENTS.

This little handbook is worth its weight in gold, and should be found on
the most convenient shelf of every family library. The author is
connected with the Harvard College Gymnasium, and the contents of the
volume are made up of practical talks delivered before the ladies' class
of the Gymnasium. His aim is to give such practical information as will
aid to self-preservation in times of danger, and to teach a few of the
simplest methods of meeting the common accidents and emergencies of
life. The illustrations are numerous and excellent.

The Arnold Birthday Book.
Edited by his Daughters. $1.25.

With an autograph introductory poem by Edwin Arnold, and choice
quotations from his poems for every day. The many admirers of the "Light
of Asia" will gladly welcome this graceful souvenir of the author, which
is handsomely illustrated and daintily finished.

=======================================================================

The Evolution of Dodd.
By William Hawley Smith. EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO, $1.00.

This remarkable book is destined to create as great a stir, in its way,
as "Ginx's Baby," although written in an entirely different style. It
treats of phases of young life as seen through the spectacles of a
keen-eyed man, sharp enough to let none of the intricacies of the newer
systems of education evade him. It should be read by every parent,
teacher, and public school officer in this or any other country. While
for pure amusement in watching Dodd's evolution, it is one of the
richest books of the season.

Red Letter Stories.
Translated from the German by Miss Lucy Wheelock. PRICE 60 CENTS.

Madame Johanna Spyri is pronounced by competent critics the best living
German writer for children. Miss Lucy Wheelock of the Chauncy Hall
School, Boston, has gracefully translated some of her most charming
tales, under the above title. This delightful volume, prettily bound and
illustrated, is one of the best selling books of the season.

The Gray Masque and Other Poems.
By Mary B. Dodge. ILLUSTRATED, EXTRA CLOTH, $1.25.

The name of this author, whose reputation is already established, will
be at once recognized in connection with some of the choicest bits of
poetry contributed to recent periodical literature, such as "Indian
Summer," "My Baby," "Frozen Crew," etc., all of which, with many new and
equally excellent poems, are offered to the public in this unusually
attractive volume.

Memorial of Rev. Warren H. Cudworth.
By His Sister; WITH PORTRAIT, 380 PAGES, $1.50.

Simply told and remarkably interesting is this story of the life of one
of the most saintly of Christian men. It will be welcomed and read with
satisfaction by all who knew him, and to those who never saw him, it
will be full of suggestive thought.

Money in Politics.
By Hon. J.K. Upton. LATE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE UNITED STATES
TREASURY. EXTRA CLOTH, GILT TOP. 12MO, $1.25.

This volume presents a complete history of money, or the circulating
medium, in the United States, from the colonial days to the present
time. Mr. Edward Atkinson, in his introduction, pronounces it the most
valuable work of the kind yet published.

Lift up Your Hearts.
Compiled and arranged by Rose Porter. 25 CENTS.

Helpful thoughts for overcoming the world. A vest pocket volume, in
dainty, flexible covers, printed in sepia. Bound in red cloth.

A Romance of the Revolution.
(A Double Masquerade.) By Rev. Charles R. Talbot. EXTRA CLOTH, 12MO,
$1.25.

With illustrations by Share, Merrill and Taylor made from careful
studies. The portion describing the battle of Bunker Hill, as seen by
the boys, has been said to be one of the most graphic and telling
accounts ever written of that famous conflict.

In this interesting book Mrs. Anagnos, one of the accomplished daughters
of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, presents under cover of a pleasing narrative, a

conclusive arguments upon these subjects yet presented." "They demand
thoughtful consideration and respect."--_Boston Transcript_.

In the Woods and Out.
By Pansy. ILLUSTRATED, 12MO, CLOTH, $1.00.

Here is a book admirably suited to the needs of that large class of
young folks who wish at times to read, or have read to them, the
choicest of short tales. Mothers and older sisters will make a note of
this, and for the twilight hour when the young folks clamor for "a
story," will provide themselves with "In the Woods and Out."

Couldn't be Bought.

Everts, N.Y._

The book is invaluable and should be in every library.--_Wm. L. Stone,

Published by A.S. BARNES & CO., 111 & 113 William Street, New York.

The publishers issue this work for the use of teachers and scholars, as
well as for its fitness as a companion to all Histories of the United
States, with confidence that it will prove a valuable specialty to all.

The RED Lettering represents British Movements and Leading Topics, for
the convenience of Teachers and Scholars.

The ¶ and Page references to various School Histories, which mention the
Battles make it available for use by Teachers throughout the United
States.

The volume contains the 41 maps which were the result of thirty years of
study, and are found in his standard volume, "Battles of the American
Revolution."

THE SECRETARY OF WAR has placed the "BATTLE MAPS AND CHARTS" at ARMY
POST SCHOOLS, at government expense.

FIVE STEEL ENGRAVINGS OF WASHINGTON accompany the volume. The ST. MEMIN
(crayon) as frontispiece, engraved by Hall & Sons; also PEALE'S painting

Liberal terms made with Schools, Military and Civil, Army Officers and
Posts, State Militia, and the Trade.

NOTICES.

Invaluable to the student of American History.--_Baltimore (Md.)
Herald_.

Deserves a welcome in every school district, as well as in every
historical library in the land.--_Army and Navy Journal_.

In our opinion, General Carrington's work is an authority, showing great
labor and careful study, and it should become a national text-book, and
find a place in all public and private libraries.--_Indianapolis
(Ind.) Herald_.

Each map is accompanied with a statement of the generals and number of
men engaged on both sides, to which is appended the reason for such
battle or engagement, with remarks by the author, who is excellent
authority in military matters.--_The Educator (New Haven, Ct.)_.

A valuable compilation from the author's large work, and cannot fail to
make a more lasting impression upon the reader's mind than could be
derived from the perusal of many volumes of history.--_N.Y.
Herald_.

Each map is accompanied by a page of text, arranged upon a compact and
original system, so as to present a singularly clear view of the history
and significance of the engagement in question, the names of the chief
and subordinate commanders, the forces, nominal and available, the
losses on each side, and the incidents of the battle.--_N.Y. Evening
Post_.

CREOSOTE STAINS

====ON====

EXTERIOR WOOD WORK.

These Stains have been _Largely_ and _Successfully_ used
during the past few seasons.

Owing to the strange PRESERVATIVE POWER of the Creosote, wood treated
with this Stain _cannot decay_ but simply wears away from the force
of the weather.

The Stain in weathering does not become shabby like paint; but the
surfaces assume weather beaten grays, very _soft_ and
_harmonious_, and varying slightly according to the original hue.
The Stain may be renewed at any time with _little trouble_ or
expense, as the natural hues which nature gives in combination with the
stain are allowed to stay.

Houses treated with these Stains may be seen at almost any of the
_seaside_ and _suburban_ resorts of NEW ENGLAND, and on the
NEW JERSEY and LONG ISLAND COASTS.

FOR ARTISTIC COLORING EFFECTS THEY ARE FAR SUPERIOR
TO PAINT, WHILE THEIR PRESERVATIVE POWER
MAKES THEM DOUBLY VALUABLE.

SIMPSON SPRING WATER.
SPRING HOUSE _AND Bottling Establishment_
SO. EASTON, MASS.

This is the Purest and Most Effective of all Medicinal Spring Waters.
Possessing remarkable Curative Properties for diseases of the
_STOMACH_, _LIVER_, _KIDNEYS_ and _BLADDER_.

A MILD CATHARTIC AND ACTIVE DIURETIC.

PROF. RAPHAEL PUMPELLY, Chemist National Board of Health.

[NOTE.--This analysis, with a letter of recommendation from Prof.
Pumpelly, was read before the Newport Sanitary Protective Society,
Jan. 12, 1884.]

_PARTS IN 1,000,000_

Total Residue 44.6
Silica 11.5
Iron and Alumina 0.7
Lime 10.5
Magnesia 1.5
Chlorine 4.6
Ammonia 0.06
Albumoid Ammonia 0.06

The above analysis shows a total residue of about 2.6 grains in one
gallon of 231 cubic inches.

The object of the above analysis is to show the great purity of this
water. Its curative properties cannot be determined by a chemical
analysis. No combination of the above-mentioned minerals alone would
produce the same effects. The Spring possesses a peculiarity and an
individuality of its own which no one ever has been able to explain.
It is one of Nature's remedies. Its medicinal effects can only be
determined by a thorough trial.

Messrs. HOWARD BROS.,
BOSTON, April 24, 1885.

_Dear Sirs_,--"After many careful trials of the Simpson Spring
Water in urinary disorders, extending over one year, I am convinced
(despite my previous prejudices, excited by the extravagant claims made
for other Springs,) that its _properties_ are
_characteristic_, and as _clinically trustworthy_ as are those
of terebinthina, lithia, or many other of the partially proven drugs. I
have found it surprisingly gratifying as an adjuvant in the cure of
albuminuria, and in lowering the specific gravity of the urine in
Saccharine Diabetes its action is promptly and lastingly helpful. It is
mildly cathartic and an active diuretic."

CANTON BLEACH.

The goods are full strength; i.e., they are not injured by strong
chemicals, the coloring matter only being removed, and the fibre being
left uninjured.

The goods are not artificially weighted; i.e., they contain nothing but
pure cotton, no sizing, clay, or chemicals to make it appear heavy, and
which all disappear when the cloth is washed.

The goods have the softest and best finish; i.e., you can sew through
any number of thicknesses which you can get into the sewing-machine, the
needle passing through with ease.

Needles and thread do not constantly break; no soaping of seams is
required; the goods not being overbleached will outwear goods bleached
by the old process.

Do not purchase cotton goods until you have _examined the_
"_Canton Bleach_." Be sure and demand of retailers generally to
_see the goods_; and do not fail, before purchasing a yard of
cotton goods, _to see if the stamp_ "Canton Bleach" is on it.

THE OLD CORNER BOOK STORE.

The above illustration, especially prepared by Harper and Brothers for
George P. Lathrop's article on "Literary and Social Life in Boston,"
that appeared in _Harper's Monthly Magazine_ for February, is a
good representation of the outward appearance of the quaint and
picturesque old building standing on the corner of Washington and School
Streets.

Famous as the "Corner Store" is as an old landmark, it is justly more
famous as the intellectual birthplace of many of the best known works in
American literature, the firm of Ticknor & Fields--whose publishing
foresight and enterprise have imperishably connected their names with
American authors--having occupied it during one of the most brilliant
chapters of American literary history.

Under the energetic auspices of Cupples, Upham & Co., it has become one
of the most complete retail book establishments in the country, and so
popular a resort that all Boston may with a little exaggeration be said
to pass through it in a day. To every stranger it is, from its present
literary attractiveness, a place not to be overlooked. The literary men
of Boston make it their lounging-place and chief rendezvous. To stroll
into the "Old Corner" for a chat, a glimpse at the last new book and
magazine, is with them a daily duty, as it is with the Bostonian
generally. It is a popular shopping-place with ladies, who patronize its
church department for works of devotion, prayer books, hymnals, and
Bibles. The reason of the extensive patronage which the establishment
receives from all classes of readers is due to its admirable department
system. It has a department for medical, scientific, and agricultural
works; another for maps, globes, and guide books; another for
theological literature; another for books in fine bindings, illustrated
works, etc; another for sporting and yachting books, and out-door
literature generally; one for juvenile books; another for English books,
as well as one for American miscellaneous works; and, lastly, special
counters for newspapers, periodicals, and novels. It is seldom without
the last "new thing" in English, French, or American literature.

The firm does an extensive importing business, and pays special
attention to the supplying of Town Libraries and Clubs.
