 tion of PilKrim's Progress, illustraied with ovei' a 

 hundred very realistic pictures. The book is ]6mo, 

 printed on very tine paper, containing: 384 pages, 

 and the 11 1 astral ions are the most striking-, and true 

 to the characters represented, that we have ever 

 seen In tiie most expensive editions. The binding' is 

 of clotli, richly illuminated in six colors, with title 

 In rich g-oldleaf on back and side. There is no paper 

 wasted in wide margins; in fact, there is so little 

 trimming that some of the leaves have to be cut 

 apart. It Is a book of sncli quality and make-up as 

 to easily brin^ $1.50 at retail a few years ago. In 

 this day of cheap books and low prices it is neces- 

 sary to close out the last of the edition away bplow

 not be sent by mall for less than 23 cents, making- 

 98 cents by mail postpaid. The covers are most 

 beautlfuUv embellished in scarlet and gold, and 

 many of the pictures are worth to me alone the

 Worldly Wiseman: Giant Despair, etp. But the 

 sweetest and best of them all tome is Prudence
