Westward Ho ! or, The Voyages and Adventures of Sir 
Amyas Leigh, Knight. By CHARLES KINGSLEY. Portrait. 12mo, 
cloth, gilt top, $1.00. 
" Westward Ho 1 " is one of the most vigorous, powerful, and fascinating of 
novels. It is strong and graphic in its portraiture, Intense and dramatic in its 
diversified coloring. The nervous and effective style, the skillful blending of 
the manifold portraits into one comprehensive picture, are among the merits 
which have made this Kingsley's greatest work. Frederic Mynon Cooper. 
The Pilgrim's Progress. By JOHN BUNYAN, with a life of Bun 
yan by James Anthony Froude. Portrait. 12rno, cloth, gilt top, 
$1.00. 
No other book except the Bible has jtone through so many editions and at 
tained to so wide a popularity in all languages as " The Pilgrim's Progress." 
... It narrates the struggles, the experiences, and the trials of a Christian 
In his passage from a life of sin to everlasting felicity : and it abounds with 
those little inimitable touches of natural feeling and description which have 
placed its author among the most picturesque of writers. . . . Bunyan may 
truly be called the prince of allegorists, and he is also the most perfect repre- 
sentative of the plain, vigorous, idiomatic, and sometimes picturesque and 
poetical language of the common people. Taken from "A Manual of Eiiylixh 
Literature," by T. B. Shaw. 
Self-Help, with Illustrations of Character, Conduct, and Per- 
severance. By SAMUEL SMILES. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, 
$1.00. 
" Self-Help" is a book which helps and stimulates men to elevate and improve 
themselves. It teaches them that the humblest person who sets before his fel- 
lows an example of industry, sobriety, and upright honesty of purpose in life, 
has a present as well as a future influence upon the well-being of his country. 
. . . Hundreds of its terse and happy phrases have become the common 
property of mankind, and it has been already translated into four or five of the 
European languages. Frederic Mynon Cooper. 
Jane Eyre. By CHARLOTTE BRONTE. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, 
gilt top, $1.00. 
Few novels have gained such immediate popularity as was accorded to "Jane 
Eyre." This was doubtless due in part to the freshness and vigor of mind it 
evinced ; but it was obtained not so much by these qualities as by the frequent 
dealings in moral paradox, and by the hardihood of its assaults upon the preju- 
dices of proper people. Throughout the tale the author exhibits a perception 
of character and the power of delineating it, which is, considering her youth, 
remarkable. Frederic Mynon Cooper. 
The Moonstone. A Novel. By WILKIE COLLINS. Portrait. 
12mo, cloth, gilt top, $1.00. 
Like the generality of his romances, the interest of "The Moonstone" depends 
chiefly upon the development of a plot whose systematic intricacies pique the 
cun> >sity until the last moment, and upon the concealment of a mystery which 
haffles and defies solution until it shall have contributed to no end of cross 
purposes and caused a prodigious amount of incertitude and wretchedness. 
Frederic Mynon Cooper.
