JN THE TRACK OF THE SUN : Readings Jrom 

 J- the Diary of a Globe Trotter. By Frederick Diodati 

 Thompson. Profusely illustrated with Engravings from Pho- 

 tographs and from Drawings by Hariy Fenn. Large 8vo. Cloth, 

 gilt top, $6.00. 

 " In very gorgeous holiday attire comes this large octavo volume, with its sumptu- 

 ous full page illustrations and its profusion of head and tail pieces. . . . The author's 

 style is pleasant and easy, occasionally almost conversational, and it is impossible to 

 follow him through the intricacies of his tour without acquiring a deal of information 

 by the way." — Philadelphia Bulletin. 



"One of the handsomest of this year's Christmas books. . . . The author has 

 practically abandoned the grand tour in favor of regions less known. I here is not 

 much of Europe in the volume, but a great deal about China, Japan, and the East. In 

 this good judgment is shown. ... A truly elegant piece of bookmaking."^/'>4//a. 

 delphia Telegraph. 



" Mr. Thompson is an intelligent observer, who describes what he has seen with 

 humor and point. . . . We know of no equally convenient and handsome publication 

 illustrating a journey round the world."— 7"A^ Outlook. 



" Few 'globe trotters ' have given their impressions of travel so comely a form as 

 Mr. Thompson in this handsome illustrated volume." ^Landou Saturday Review. 



"As a piece of fine printing, binding, and iliu'-.tration, Mr. Thompson's volume de- 

 serves very high praise. The Appleton press has never done finer work. . . . 1 he 

 portrait of the Mohammedan sheik is one of the finest illustrations in recent books of 

 travel. But the whole volume is a picture gallery which will especially commend itself 

 to the large family of globe trotters, among whom Mr. Thompson deserves good 

 standing for his sensible comments and his excellent taste." — Literary World. 



pOEMS OF NATURE. By William Cullen 

 -^ Bryant. Profusely illustrated by Paul de Longpre. 8vo. 

 Cloth, gilt, $4.00. 



" A very rich volume embellished with exquisite designs. . . . The publishers have 

 been at great pains to make this volume what it is — one of the handsomest of the 

 year." — Philadelphia Press. 



"The poems included in the collection are some of the choicest of Bryant's inspi- 

 rations, the illustrations are lovely and sympathetic, and the entire make-up of the vol- 

 ume is eminently artistic." — Philadelphia Telegraph. 



" There has probably been no more be.nutiful, and certainly no more fitting, presenta- 

 tion of Bryant's selected work than is offered in this volume. . . . Each poem is ac- 

 companied by special designs arranged with picturesque irregularity, and the volume 

 is admirably printed. An excellent effect is secured by the use of a little lighter ink 

 for the text."— The Outlook. 



" The artist is primarily a painter of flowers, and under his faithful and very pretty 

 reproductions of these the poems are delicately wreathed." — New York Titnes. 



"The poetry of William Cullen Bryant is distinguished beyond that of any other 

 American poet by the fidelity with which .Vature is depicted therein. . . . No one has 

 caught the picturesque spirit of his text so successfully as Paul de Longpr6 in these 

 poems of Nature." — Richard Henry Stoddard, in the Book Buyer. 



" In beauty of print and binding and in its artistic illustrations the book is among 

 the best specimens of the printer's art. The illustrations by Paul de Longpr6 tell the 

 story of green fields and woods and mountains and singing birds without the aid of 

 words. The book is artistically beautiful upon every page." — Chicago Inter-Ocean.
