BAILEY. LESSONS WITH PLANTS. Suggestions for Seeing and 

 Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of Vegetation. By 

 L. H. Bailey. 12mo. Illustrated, xxxi + 491 pages. 



This volume is the outgrowth of "observation lessons." The 

 book is based upon the idea that the proper way to begin the study 

 of plants is by means of plants instead of formal ideals or defini- 

 tions. Instead of a definition as a model telling what is to be 

 seen, the plant shows what there is to be seen, and the definition 

 follows. 



BARNES. YANKEE SHIPS AND YANKEE SAILORS. Tales of 

 1812. By James Barnes. 12mo. Illustrated, xiii + 281 

 pages. 



Fourteen spirited tales of the gallant defenders of the Chesa- 

 peake, the Wasp, the Vixen, Old Ironsides, and other heroes of 

 the Naval War of 1812. 



BELLAMY. THE WONDER CHILDREN. By Charles J. 

 Bellamy. 12mo. Illustrated. 



Nine old-fashioned fairy stories in a modern setting. 



BLACK. THE PRACTICE OF SELF-CULTURE. By Hugh 

 Black. 12mo. vii + 262 pages. 



Nine essays on culture considered in its broadest sense. The 

 title is justified not so much from the point of view of giving 

 many details for self-culture, as of giving an impulse to practice. 



BONSAL. THE GOLDEN HORSESHOE. Extracts from the let- 

 ters of Captain H. L. Herndon of the 21st U. S. Infantry, on 

 duty in the Philippine Islands, and Lieutenant Lawrence 

 Gill, A.D.C. to the Military Governor of Puerto Rico. With 

 a postscript by J. Sherman, Private, Co. D, 21st Infantry. 

 Edited by Stephen Bonsai. 12mo. xi + 316 pages. 



These letters throw much light on our recent history. The 

 story of our "Expansion" is well told, and the problems 

 which are its outgrowth are treated with clearness and insight.
