to be highly complimented. Here, certainly, we have a choice piece of writing.--_New York Times._ THE STORY OF THE MINE. _As Illustrated by the Great Comstock Lode of Nevada._ _By_ CHARLES HOWARD SHINN. Mr. Shinn writes from ... such acquaintance as could only be gained by familiarity with the men and the places described, ... and by the fullest appreciation of the pervading spirit of the Western mining camps of yesterday and to-day. Thus his book has a distinctly human interest, apart from its value as a treatise on things material.--_Review of Reviews._ THE STORY OF THE INDIAN. _By_ GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL, _author of "Pawnee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc._ Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in thought, feeling, and culture. Only long association with Indians can enable a white man measurably to comprehend their thoughts and enter into their feelings.

It is a supremely interesting and wholesome book, and in an age when excellence of technique has reached a remarkable level, "Windyhaugh" compels admiration for its brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a large canvas, but she has a true sense of proportion.--_Blackwood's Magazine._ For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for arrival at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such a book as "Windyhaugh" must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and brilliancy. It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the end and that it i
