AUDUBON AND HIS JOURNALS. By Maria R. Audubon. 



With many illustrations. 2 vols. 8vo, $7.50. 



* A work which no student of American birds, mammals, or history can afford to do without." 

 C. Hart Merriam, in Science. 



44 A work fascinating to all ornithologists and bird-lovers, and one which must also appeal strongly 

 to the sympathies of the general reader. The story of his romantic life, told briefly in the first volume, 

 is of absorbing interest." Dr. J. A. Allen, in The Auk. 



44 Miss Audubon has done her work well. She has produced a book which is a credit to herself, her 

 sex, and the honored name she bears. She has made an important contribution to the historical and 

 zoological literature of America, and has erected to the memory of Audubon a useful and enduring 

 monument." The Nation. 



HOW TO NAME THE BIRDS. By H. E. Parkhurst, 



Author of "The Birds' Calendar" and 44 Song-Birds and Waterfowl." 16mo. In Press. 



The non-scientific bird-lover is often discouraged by the difficulty of identifying his feathered friends 

 without the special research which so few have time to give. Mr. Parkhurst has here provided a handy 

 manual which, by an ingenious system based on color and season, makes the process of naming the 

 common birds a most simple matter. 



MUSIC: How it Came to be What it Is. By Hannah Smith. 



With many illustrations. 12mo, $1.25 net. 

 Miss Smith addresses the untechnical music-lover, and her history of the growth of modern music is 

 as concise as is compatible with thoroughness and clearness. After an introductory chapter on musical 

 acoustics, she outlines the condition of music in ancient and mediaeval times, and devotes a chapter each 

 to the Belgian and Italian schools. This is followed by historical sketches of the opera, the oratorio, and 

 instrumental music ; after which the development of the principal instruments is considered. 



WHAT IS GOOD MUSIC? By W. J. Henderson. 



Suggestions to Persons desiring to Cultivate a Taste in Musical Art. 12mo, $1.00 net. 

 44 It is not written for the musical elect, although the brightness of its style, the breadth of its tone, 

 and the author's evident desire to refrain from any display of unnecessary erudition, make it delightful 

 to any one. It is intended as a guide to the unwary travellers who without assistance are wont to lose 

 their way and get hopelessly entangled. . . . After reading it the amateur music-lover can talk to the 

 professional music-lover with at least some idea of the subject. " Washington Times. 



HOW TO LISTEN TO MUSIC. By H. E. Krehbiel. 



Seventh Edition. Illustrated. I2rao, $1.25 net. 



THE WORKERS: The East. By Walter A. Wyckoff. 



Illustrated. 12mo, $1.25. 



44 We have had many sociological novels, but none, we will dare to say, containing so unvarnished a ^ 



picture of reality a picture at once of the most profound scientific and romantic interest." The 



Bookman. 



44 To a good many men and women Professor Wyckoff 's story will be as full of interest as the most 



successful novel of incident that has been brought out in recent years." Boston Advertiser. 



THIS COUNTRY OF OURS. By Benjamin Harrison, 



Ex-President of the United States. 12mo, $1.50. 



44 Mr. Harrison has written an informing and entertaining book. Without attempting to provide 

 either a school manual on American government or an elementary treatise on constitutional law, he dis- 

 courses pleasantly and instructively about the various departments of national administration. It gives 

 a better idea of the daily life of the President than any recent book which has come under our notice." 

 The Nation.
