HELEN JACKSON'S WRITINGS. 



BITS OF TRAVEL. Square i8mo. Cloth, red 

 edges. Price, $1.25. 



The volume has few of the characteristics of an ordinary book of travel. 

 It is entertaining and readable, from cover to cover ; and when the untravelled 

 reader has finished it, he will find that he knows a great deal more about life in 

 Europe having seen it through intelligent and sympathetic eyes than he 

 ever got before from a dozen more pretentious volumes. Hartford Courant, 



BITS OF TRAVEL AT HOME. Square i8mo. 

 Cloth, red edges. Price, $1.50. 



The descriptions of American scenery in this volume indicate the imagina- 

 tion of a poet, the eye of an acute observer of Nature, the hand of an artist, and 

 the heart of a woman. 



H. H.'s choice of words is of itself a study of color. Her picturesque dfc- 

 tion rivals the skill of the painter, and presents the woods and waters of the 

 Great West with a splendor of illustration that can scarcely be surpassed by the 

 brightest glow of the canvas. Her intuitions of character are no less keen than 

 her perceptions of Nature. N. Y, Tribune. 



GLIMPSES OF THREE COASTS: Call- 

 fornia and Oregon ; Scotland and England ; Norway, 

 Denmark, and Germany. I2mo. Cloth. Price, $1.50. 



Helen Hunt Jackson has left another monumental memorial of her literary 

 life in the volume entitled " Glimpses of Three Coasts," which is just published 

 and includes some fourteen papers relating to life in California and Oregon, in 

 Scotland and England, and on the North Shore of Europe in Germany, Den- 

 mark, and Norway. The sketches are marked by that peculiar charm that 

 characterizes Mrs. Jackson's interpretations of Nature and life. She had the 

 divining gift of the poet; she had the power of philosophic reflection ; and these, 

 with her keen observation and swift sympathies and ardent temperament, make 

 her the ideal interpreter of a country's life and resources. Traveller, Boston 



BITS OF TALK ABOUT HOME MAT- 

 TERS. Square i8mo. Cloth, red edges. Price, $1.00. 



" Bits of Talk " is a book that ought to have a place of honor in every house- 

 hold ; for it teaches, not only the true dignity of parentage, but of childhood. 

 As we read it, we laugh and cry with the author, and acknowledge that, since the 

 child is father oC the man, in being the champion of childhood, she is the cham- 

 pion of the whole coming race. Great is the rod, but H. H. is not its prophet 1
