he Mast, 1 vol., 12mo, $1.50.

One of the most fascinating and instructive narratives of the sea ever
written for young folks. The reader's sympathies are enlisted with the
hero from first to last, but the hardships and hair-breadth escapes he
meets with would prevent most boys from emulating his example.

DUFFERIN.--Letters from High Latitudes. A Yacht Voyage to Iceland, Jan
Mayen, and Spitzbergen. By his Excellency the Earl of Dufferin,
Governor-General of the Dominion of Canada. Authorized edition. With
portrait and several illustrations. 8vo, cloth extra, $1.50.

The titled author has given us in this work a narrative of a voyage
replete with incident in the yacht "Foam." His impressions of the
countries and people visited in the far North are written in a fresh
and original style, in the purest English, and the account of the whole
voyage is as pleasing and interesting as a work of fiction.

ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING'S POEMS.--The most satisfactory American
edition issued, printed from excellent type on paper of superior
quality, with introductory essay by Henry T. Tuckerman. 3 vols., 8vo,
gilt tops, $5.25; half calf extra, $10.50.

The highest place among modern poetesses must be claimed for Mrs.
Browning. In purity, loftiness of sentiment, feeling and in
intellectual power she is excelled only by Tennyson, whose works it is
evident she had carefully studied. Nearly all her poems bear the
impress of deep and sometimes melancholy thought, but show a high and
fervid imagination. Her _Sonnets from the Portuguese_, are as
passionate as Shakespeare's, all eminently beautiful. Of her _Aurora
Leigh_, Ruskin said "that is the greatest poem which this century has
produced in any language."

GAUTIER (Theophile). One of Cleopatra's Nights and Other Fantastic
Stories. Translated from the French by Lafcadio Hearn. 8vo, cloth
extra, gilt top, $1.75.

A brilliant and intensely fascinating collection of stories from the
pen of the inimitable Gautier, they are excellent specimens of his work
in his brightest and happiest vein; the scenes are audaciously limned,
and distinguished for their conscientious fidelity to nature.
