HELEN JACKSON'S WRITINGS. 



POEMS: Complete, comprising " Verses by H. H." 

 and "Sonnets and Lyrics." Square iSmo. Red edges, 

 price, $1.50 ; white cloth, gilt, $1.75. 



Shortly after the publication of "Verses" Ralph Waldo Emerson 

 walked into the office of the publishers and inquired for the " Poems of 

 H. H." While he was looking at it the attendant ventured to remark 

 that H. H. was called our greatest woman poet. " The ' woman ' might 

 well be omitted," was the only reply of the Concord philosopher. He 

 was then engaged in compiling his poetical anthology ( Parnassus), in the 

 preface to which he says : " The poems of a lady who contents herself 

 with the initials H. H. in her book, published in Boston (1874), nave a 

 rare merit of thought and expression, and will reward the reader for the 

 careful attention which they require."

BITS OF TALK, in Verse and Prose. For 



Young Folks. Square i8mo. Cloth. Price, $1.00. 



It is just such a book as children will enjoy, made up as it is of a variety of 

 attractive reading, short stories, fairy tales, parables, and poems, with here and 

 there a chapter of good advice, given in such a taking way without a bit of 

 goody talk, that the children will find it pleasant to take, little as they like advice 

 after the usual fashion. Worcester Spy. 



NELLY'S SILVER MINE. A Story of Col- 

 orado Life. With Illustrations. i6mo. Cloth. Price, 



$1.50. 



" Nelly's Silver Mine" is one of those stories which, while having the noble 

 simplicity and freshness whereby the young are captivated, is full of a thought 

 and wisdom which command for it the attention of all. Philadelphia Inquirer. 



CAT STORIES. Containing " Letters from a Cat," 

 " Mammy Tittleback and her Family," and " The Hun- 

 ter Cats of Connorloa," bound in one volume. Small 

 4to. Cloth. Price, $2.00 ; or, each volume separately, 



$1.25. 



The subject is attractive, for there is nothing children take a more real in- 

 terest in than cats ; and the writer has had the good sense to write neither above 

 nor below her subject. The type is large, so that those for whom the book is 

 intended may read it themselves. . . . For details we must refer all interested 

 to the story itself, which seems to us written with admirable verisimilitude.
