=England: As Seen By An American Banker.=

16mo, ELEGANT CLOTH BINDING, $1.50.

"Sight Drafts on England." It is certainly a mine of
accurate detail. The author is enthusiastic in his

sources. His description of the Bank of England, for

=Treasure Thoughts.=

=From Canon Farrar.= SPARE MINUTE SERIES. 12mo, CLOTH, $1.00.

These are vital thoughts that have been gathered by
Rose Porter from Canon Farrar's writings and sermons.
The utterances of the present Archdeacon of Westminster
have been greatly considered by people of all classes,
creeds, and tastes, and this volume is likely to gain
a permanent place in the people's literature. His
sympathetic appreciation of American institutions,
together with his eloquent eulogy of the life and
character of General Grant, recently delivered in
Westminster, have greatly quickened American interest
in all his expressions of opinion, belief and counsel.
This pithy volume is well-named.
