Westward Ho ! or, The Voyages and Adventures of Sir 

 Amyas Leigh, Knight. By CHAKLE? KINUSLEY. Portrait. 12nio, 

 cloth, gilt top, $1.00. 



" Westward Ho ! " is one of tin: most vigorous, powerful, and fascinating of 

 novels. It is strong and graphic in its portraiture, intrust- ami dramatic in its 

 diversified coloring. The nervous and effective style, the .skillful blending of 

 the manifold portraits into one comprehensive picture, are amon- the merits 

 which have made this Kingsley's greatest work. ./'//</: Mijnon 



The Pilgrim's Progress. By JOHN BUNYAN, with a life of Bun 

 van by James Aiithoiiy Froude. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top 

 $1.00. 



No other book except the Bible has gone 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 Eixjlith 

 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 Myiwn 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 vitror 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 My i ton 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 

 curiosity until the last moment, and upon the concealment of a mystery which 

 baffles 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.
