not a faultless boy; but his
boy-faults, by the way they are corrected, help him in getting on. The
more of such reading can be furnished the better. There will never be
too much of it. --_Examiner and Chronicle._
Can be read a dozen times, and each time with tears and laughter as
genuine and impulsive as at the first. --_Rochester Democrat._
Finely printed, and contains excellent illustrations. "Tom Brown" is a
book which will always be popular with boys, and it deserves to be.
--_World_ (N. Y.).
For healthy reading it is one book in a thousand. --_Advance._
_TOM BROWN AT OXFORD._
By the Author of "Tom Brown's School Days." New Edition. With
Illustrations by Sydney Prior Hall. 8vo, Paper, 75 cents.
A new and very pretty edition. The illustrations are exceedingly good,
the typography is clear, and the paper white and fine. There is no need
to say any thing of the literary merits of the work, which has become a
kind of classic, and which presents the grand old Tory University to the
reader in all its glory and fascination. --_Evening Post._
A book of which one never wearies. --_Presbyterian._
Fairly entitled to the rank and dignity of an English classic. Plot,
style, and truthfulness are of the soundest British character. Racy,
idiomatic, mirror-like, always interesting, suggesting thought on the
knottiest social and religious questions, now deeply moving by its
unconscious pathos, and anon inspiring uproarious laughter, it is a work
the world will not willingly let die. --_Christian Advocate._

OUR GIRLS.
By DIO LEWIS, A.M., M.D.
NEW EDITION. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.
The book not only deserves to be read; it _will_ be read, because it is
full of interest, concerning itself, as it does, with such matters as
girls' boots and shoes; how girls should walk; low neck and short
sleeves; outrages upon the body; stockings supporters; why are women so
small? idleness among girls; sunshine and health; a word about baths;
what you should eat; how to manage a cold; fat and thin girls, etc.,
etc. --_N. Y. Eveni
