D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. 



N THE TRACK OF THE SUN: Readings from 

 the Diary of a Globe Trotter. By Frederick Diodati 

 Thompson. Profusely illustrated with Engravings from Pho- 

 tographs and from Drawings by Harry Fenn. Large 8vo. Cloth, 

 gilt top, $6.00. 

 " In very gorgeous holiday atiire comes this large octavo vohime, with its sumptu- 

 ous full page illustrations and its profusion of head and tail pieces. . . . The author's 

 style is pleasant and easy, occasionally almost conversational, and it is impossible to 

 follow him through the intricacies of his tour without acquiring a deal of information 

 by the way." — Pkiladelpliia Bulletin. 



"One of the handsomest of this year's Christmas books. . . . The author has 

 practically abandoned the grand tour in favor of regions less known. I here is not 

 much of Europe in the volume, but a great deal about China, Japan, and the East. In 

 this good judgment is shown. ... A truly elegant piece of bookmaking." — Phila- 

 delphia Telegraph. 



" Mr. Thompson is an intelligent observer, who describes what he has seen with 

 humor and point. . . . We know of no equally convenient and handsome publication 

 illustrating a journey round the world." — 'J'he Outloolc. 



" Few 'globe trotters ' have given their impressions of travel so comely a form as 

 Mr. Thompson in this handsome illustrated volume." — Lottdon Saturday Review. 



"As a piece of fine printing, binding, and illustration, Mr. Thompson's volume do- 

 serves very high praise. The Appleton press has never done finer work. . . . 1 he 

 portrait of the Mohammedan sheik is one of the finest illustrations in recent books of 

 travel. But the whole volume is a picture gallery which will especially commend itself 

 to the large family of globe trotters, among whom Mr. Thompson deserves good 

 standing for his sensible comments and his excellent taste." — Literary World. 



pOEMS OF NATURE. By William Cullen 



■^ Bryant. Profusely illustrated by Paul de Longprd. 8vo. 

 Cloth, gilt, $4.00. 



" A very rich volume embellished with exquisite designs. . . . The publishers have 

 been at great pains to make this volume what it is — one of the handsomest of the 

 year. " — Philadelphia Press. 



" The poems included in the collection are some of the choicest of Bryant's inspi- 

 rations, the illustrations are lovely and sympathetic, and the entire make-up of the vol- 

 ume is eminently artistic. ' — Pliiiadelphia Telegrapli. 



" There has probably been no more beautiful, and certainly no more fitting, presenta- 

 tion of Bryant's selected woik than is offered in this volume. . . . Each poem is ac- 

 companie'l by special designs arranged with picturesque irregularity, and the volume 

 is admirably printed. An excellent effect is secured by the use of a little lighter ink 

 for the text." — The Oiitlooli. 



" The artist is primarily a painter of flowers, and under his faithful and very pretty 

 reproductions of these the poems are delicately wreathed." — AVw }'orh Times. 



"The poetrj' of William Cullen Bryant is distinguished beyond that of any other 

 American poet by the fidelity with which .Vature is depicted therein. . . . No one has 

 ca'ight the picturesque spirit of his text so successfully as Paul de Longpr^ in these 

 jwems of Nature."— Richard Henry Stoddard, /« the Book Ihiyer. 



' In beauty of print and binding and in its artistic illustrations the book is among 

 the best specimens of the printer's art. The illustrations by P.-iul de Longpr^ tell the 

 story of green fields and woods and mountains and singing birds without the aid of 

 words. The book is artistically beautiful upon every page." — Chicago Inter-Ocean.
