Canoe and Camera; or, Two Hundred Miles 
Through, the Maine Forests. 
JUST PUBLISHED. 
Together with a map prepared expressly for the work by Wm. R. Curtis, C. E.; beautifully bound 
in cloth and gold, containing sixty life-like illustrations by such artists as True Williams, Benjamin Day, 
and Aug. Will. This is one of the most elegant books of the kind ever published, describing a tour of 
two hundred miles through the vast forests of the Pine Tree State, and containing full instructions and 
directions as to the most successful and enjoyable modes of visiting them. The Author has already 
made himself widely known by Iris contributions to the public press regarding this interesting region of 
country. His accounts of the route, the fishing regions, the adventures and the scenery, are given with 
much spirit, and should draw to Maine a crowd of pleasure seekers. An additional charm is its Original 
Illustrations, sixty in number, drawn from photographs taken on the spot. Those who have hunted 
or fished in the vicinity described will recognize the truthfulness of these illustrations. To those unable 
to visit this charming region, the book will be found as thoroughly fascinating as many of the best 
volumes of fiction. A large Map accompanies the book, showing the entire region traversed, including 
the Moosehead Lake region. By Tiios. Sedgwick Steele. 
Charles D. Warner writes of this charming volume : 
“ It is one of the handsomest books of the season, fully illustrated by drawings from the author’s own 
pencil, and from his photographs. Many of the drawings are not only picturesque, but interesting 
as views of the wild scenery, which the author describes. The author has taken a fresh and enjoya¬ 
ble trip, which others may enjoy with him, by the aid of pen and pencil.” 
Forest and Stream says : “ It is a superb volume. The country explored and described comprises a Ter¬ 
ritory rich in beautiful sceuery, and well supplied with game and fish,” 
The Religious Herald says : “ It makes one feel as if one must go over the same route.”

G-rayling Fishing in Northern Michigan. 
JUST PUBLISHED. 
A record of summer vacations in the wilderness. Those who are fond of the woods will he delighted 
with this new hook. It bristles with information on shooting and fishing, and may be relied on as an 
accurate guide to ail the chief points of attraction in this famous region, and gives valuable suggestions 
on Camping Outfits, Fishing, Hunting, etc., etc. The Author, who is an eminent lawyer of Central New 
York, has long been famous for his jaunts into the wild regions, explored and unexplored, of the coun¬ 
try, and for his vivid entertaining descriptions of scenes and adventures by the way. By A. Judd 
Northrup. 
That veteran journalist, George Dawson, says in the Albany Evening Journal: —“ Those who are fond 
of the woods will be delighted with Camps and Tramps. The chapters on Grayling Fishing are ex¬ 
ceedingly well done, and we say this because we know all about it—the waters fished and the sport 
to be derived from angling for this gamey fish. The book is a pleasant and timely addition to fish 
lore and angling literature.” 
The Churchman says: “As a narrative it runs along with quite as much liveliness as it would if the 
author were writing a fiction, and we are favored not only with well drawn descriptions of scenery, 
but also with entertaining conversation and life-like exhibitions of human nature.”

cidents of several weeks’ journeying, sporting, and open-air life in the wilderness, and portrays with 
detail and fidelity, the actual life and fun of Vacation Way-faring. A valuable addition to the book
