THE ORIGIN OF CIVILIZATION AND THE PRIMI- 
TIVE CONDITION OF MAN, MENTAL AND SOCIAL 
CONDITION OF SAVAGES. Fifth edition, with numerous Addi. 
tions. Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00. 
“In the present volume I propose to describe the social and mental condition 
of savages, their art, their systems of marriage and relationship, their religions, 
language, moral character, and laws. . . . The materials for such a work are im- 
mense, and daily increasing. Those who take an interest in the subject become 
every year more and more numerous.”’—Fyom the Preface. 
“This interesting work—for it is intensely so in its aim, scope, and the ability 
of its author—treats of what the scientists denominate anthropology, or the natu- 
ral history of the human species ; the complete science of man, ody and soul, 
including sex, temperament, race, civilization, etc."—Providence Press. 
PREHISTORIC TIMES, AS ILLUSTRATED BY ANCIENT 
REMAINS AND THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF MODERN 
SAVAGES. Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00. 
The book ranks among the noblest works of the interesting and important class 
to which it belongs. As u résumé of our present knowledge of prehistoric man, it 
leaves nothing to be desired. It is not only a good book of reference, but the 
best on the subject. 
“This is, perhaps, the best summary of evidence now in our possession con- 
cerning the general character of prehistoric times. The Bronze Age, The Stone 
Age, The Tumuli, The Lake Inhabitants of Switzerland, The Shell Mounds, The 
Cave Man, and The Antiquity of Man, are the titles of the most iraportant chap- 
ters.”—Dr. C. K. Adams’s Manual of Historical Literature. 
THE PLEASURES OF LIFE. 12mo. Cloth, 50 cents; paper, 
25 cents. 
“+, . . Has in it a wealth of thought that can not be reckoned by money value, 
. . . Brief essays on The nae of Happiness, The Happiness of Duty, The Choice 
f Books, The Blessing of Friends, and kindred topics, written in such simple 
style that the reader is beguiled to his own profit.”—New York Journal of Com. 
merce. 
“Tt is not until one enters into it fally that its earnest, thoughtful, and ele. 
vating characteristics become apparent. ... The volume includes the author's 
celebrated essay on The Choice ot Books, with the list of one hundred best books 
of writers not living. The paper on The Blessing of Friends is a charming re- 
minder of the oft-forgotten oon ae true friendship, while in The Pleasures 
of Home the possibilities of domestic life are treated with rare sincerity and 
grace.”"—Brooklyn Times. 
“Vain would be the search for a more useful book than this to place in the 
hands of boys and girls who are soon to enter upon the duties and responsibilities 
of manhood and womanhood. Older foe also will derive benefit from the 
study of its pages. . .. If any are still asking the threadbare question, ‘Is life 
worth living ?’ they will do well to look to this bright, happy book for a reply."—
