THE SALT-BOX HOUSE : EIGHTEENTH CEN- 

 TURY LIFE IN A NEW ENGLAND HILL TOWN. 

 By JANE DE FOREST SHELTON. 12mo, cloth, 

 decorated, $1.25. 



" A picture of New England country life in the last cen- 

 tury, full of reality and feeling, and which it is both interest- 

 ing and pleasing to look upon. The book is delightfully 

 written, and its romance and tenderness, no less than the 

 truthfulness and lifelikeness of its restoration of the old 

 domestic and social interior, will appeal strongly to many 

 a heart." Boston Literary World. 



" Deserves more than cursory mention. The style and 

 manner of the work are quiet and peaceful, and the matter 

 of the narrative is touched with an almost breathless rev- 

 erence. So simple is the commentary, so sweet and gentle 

 its slightest utterance, that at times it reaches the highest 

 art of expression." New York Public Opinion. 



" It would be a pity if students and lovers of old and 

 quaint New England customs should miss reading 'The 

 Salt-Box House,' which gives a delightfully vivid and sym- 

 pathetic picture of life in a Connecticut hill-town in the 

 eighteenth century." Living Age. 



"A book of more than ordinary carefulness and search 

 for detail; the style is pretty and also picturesque; the 

 method of its construction is good; the general reader will 

 find pleasure and profit from its perusal." Springfield Re- 

 publican. 



"Is full of atmosphere and reality, and enlightened with 

 many graceful and humorous touches." Public Ledger. 



" An entertaining as well as faithful picture of eighteenth 

 century life, and we heartily commend it." Boston 

 Transcript. 



"The reader will turn every page with interest. The 

 book is an ideal one for reading aloud." The Presbyterian. 



"The reading of this book is a pure delight." Church 

 Standard.
