 64 Illustrations by the Author. 8vo. Cloth, $2.50. 



" One of the handsomest and most elaborate juvenile works lately published." 

 Philadelphia Item. 



" Mr. Johnson's style is almost rhythmical, and one lays down the book with the 

 sensation of having read a poem and that saddest of all longings, the longing for 

 vanished youth." Bostnn Commercial Bulletin. 



"As a triumph of the realistic photographer's art it deserves warm praise quite 

 aside from its worth as a sterling book on the subjects its title indicates. ... It is a 

 most praiseworthy book, and the more such that are published the better." New York 

 Mail ana Express. 



" The book is beautiful and amusing, well studied, well written, redolent of the 

 wood, the field, and the stream, and full of those delightful reminders of a boy's 

 country home which touch the heart." New 1'ot'Jt Independent. 



"One of the finest books of the kind that have ever been put out." Cleveland 

 World.

 had a taste of life on a New England farm." Boston Transcript.

'HE COUNTRY SCHOOL IN NEW ENG- 

 LAND. By CLIFTON JOHNSON. With 60 Illustrations from 

 Photographs and Drawings made by the Author. Square 8vo. 

 Cloth, gilt edges, $2.50. 



" An admirable undertaking, carried out in an admirable way. . . . Mr. Johnson's 

 descriptions are vivid and lifelike and are full of humor, and the illustrations, mostly 

 after photographs, give a solid effect of realism to the wliole work, and are superbly 

 reproduced. . . . The definitions at the close of this volume are very, very funny, and 

 yet they are not stupid ; they are usually the result of deficient logic." Boston Beacon. 



" A charmingly written account of the rural schools in this section of the country. 

 It speaks of the old-fashioned school days of the early quarter of this century, of the 

 mid-century schools, of the country school of to-day, and of how scholars think and 

 write. The style is animated and picturesque. . . . It is handsomely printed, and is 

 interesting from its pretty cover to its very last page." Boston Saturday Evening 

 Gazette. 



"A unique piece of book-making that deserves to be popular. . . . Prettily and 

 serviceably bound, and well illustrated." The Churchman. 



" The readers who turn the leaves of this handsome book will unite in saying the 

 author has 'been there.' It is no fancy sketch, but text and illustrations are both a 

 reality. " Chicago Inter-Ocean. 



" No one who is familiar with the little red schoolhouse can look at these pictures 

 and read these chapters without having the mind recall the boyhood experiences, and 

 the memory is pretty sure to be a pleasant one." Chicago Times. 



" A superbly prepared volume, which by its reading matter and its beautiful illustra- 

 tions, so natural and finished, pleasantly and profitably recalls memories and associations 

 connected with the very foundations of our national greatness." N. Y. Observer.
