The Last Lady of Mulberry. 



A Story of Italy in New York. By Hf.nry Wilton Thomas. Illustrated by Emil 

 Pollak. i2mo. Cloth, ^1.50. 

 "The Last Lady of Mulberry" is the title of a fresh and charming: novel, whose author, a new 

 writer, Mr. Henry Wilton Thomas, has found an unexploited field in the Italian quarter of New York. 

 Mr. Thomas is familiar with Italy as well as New York, and the local color of his vivacious pictures gives 

 his story a peculiar zest. As a story pure and simple his novel is distinguished by originality in motive, 

 by a succession of striking and dramatic scenes, and by an understanding of the motives of the characters, 

 and a justness and sympathy in their presentation which im[)arts a constant glow of human interest to 

 the tale. The author has acquaint and delightful humor which will be relished by every reader. While 

 his story deals with actualities, it is neither depressing nor unpleasantly realistic, like many "stories of low 

 life," and the reader gains a vivid im]3ression of the sunnier aspects of life in the Italian quarter. The 

 book contains a series of well-studied and effective illustrations by Mr. Emil Pollak.

The last few years have proved so rich in geographical discoveries that there has been a pressing need 

 for a j-isiime of recent explorations and changes which should present in convenient and accurate form 

 the latest results of geographical work. The additions to our knowledge have not been limited to Africa, 

 Asia, and the arctic regions, but even on our own continent the gold of the Klondike has ltd to a better 

 knowledge of the region, wliiie within a short time we shall have much more exact geographical in- 

 formation concerning the numerous islands which niake up the Philippines. The want which is 

 indicated will be met by "The International Geography," a convenient volume for the intelligent 

 general reader, and the library which presents expert summaries of the results of geographical .'icience 

 throughout the world at the present time. The book contains nearly five hundred illustrations and maps 

 which have been specially prepared. It is designed to present in the compact limits of a single volume 

 an authoritative conspectus of the science of geography and the conditions of the countries at the end of 

 the nineteenth century.

Municipal Government, 



As ILI.rSTRATF.D liY THE CHARTER, FINANCES, AND PUBLIC CHARITIES OF NeW 



York. By Hon. Bird S. Coler, Comptroller of the City of New York. i2mo. Cloth. 



The broad scope of the government of modern cities, the magnitude of the questions presented in 

 New York since the extension of its limits, and the distinguished part taken by the Comptroller of New- 

 York in municipal affairs, will commend Mr. Coler's book to the consideration of all who are interested in 

 questions of municipal government. Mr. Coler surveys the existing cijnditions, analyzes the charter, and 

 makes a striking exposure of abuses of public charities. He deals with the questions of water supply 

 and franchises, and also discusses the relitions of the individual citizen to the municipality. The im- 

 portance of such a book by one who has proved his right to speak with authority will be promptly 

 appreciated. 



A History of the Spanish-American War. 



P>ased upon official reports, Spanish and American, and other sources of authentic infor- 

 mation. By Richard H. Titherington. With Diagrams. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 

 It is only recently that the completion of official reports and the collection of adequate testimony from 

 the Spaniards as well as Americans have made it possible to prepare an authoritative histor\-of the Span- 

 ish-.'\merican War. Mr. Titherington's book aims to supply such a history in succinct and popular form. 

 It is based upon a careful study of a vast amount of first-hand evidence, in addition to the official re- 

 ports. It includes a brief sketch of Cuba and the island's relations to the United States. It is writ- 

 ten in an absolutely dispassionate spirit, and presents an unprejudiced view of various matters which 

 have been in controversy.
