The book is from the pen of one who combines a careful study of life with a

On the Heights. By BERTHOLD AUERBACH. Translated from 

 the German by F. E. BUNNETT. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, 

 $1.00. 



Auerbach has been called the Charles Dickenc of Germany. He is not only 

 a brilliant writer of fiction, but is at the same time a profound thinker and 

 elevated moralist. In " On the Heights," his most powerful work, education, 

 labor, wealth, poverty, and the relations of rich and poor; aristocracy, relig- 

 ion and philosophy, the rights of the individual, and their various applications 

 to our daily life, are illumed and illustrated by its progress and development. 

 It is a beautiful story, sad in its ending, but free from any tinge of coarseness 

 or sensationalism; pure, sweet, warm \v ith human love and tenderness. - 

 Frederick Mynon Cooper. 



The Last Days ol Pompeii. By SIR EDWARD BULWER-LYTTON, 

 BART. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, $1.00. 



The fate of the rich Campanian city, the most awful catastrophe which 

 history records, supplies a superb climax to the story. This is dramatic and 

 powerful throughout, and of absorbing interest. The characters arise natur- 

 ally from the scene of the story, and they move and speak in perfect accord 

 with their surroundings; with a human sympathy which easily bridges the 

 eighteen centuries which have rolled over the buried city, we follow with eagei 

 interest this tale of the men and women of ancient Pompeii Robert Thome.
