CONTENTS: Birds and Poets; April; Touches of Nature; A Bird Medley;

Mr. Burroughs, as a careful observer of nature, and one of the most
fascinating descriptive writers, is an author whose reputation will
constantly increase; for what he does in not only an addition to our
information, but to the good literature that we put on the shelf with
Thoreau and White of Selborne.--_Hartford Courant._

Country By-Ways. By SARAH ORNE JEWETT. 18mo, $1.25.

In free and flowing lines Miss Jewett has drawn exquisite pictures of
river and road and woodland, that fascinate by their happiness of
descriptive detail, and by the kinship to humanity which the author
finds in the flowers and trees and fields. Her treatment of the
individuality and life of nature is masterly, and the skill with which
she projects her figures on the canvas of her imagination is effective
and suggestive.--_Boston Transcript._

Drift-Weed. Poems. By CELIA THAXTER. Small 4to, full gilt, $1.50

None of the poets of to-day have made so deep and sympathetic a study of
the shifting aspects of the sea as has Mrs. Thaxter, and none of them
have interpreted its meanings and analogies with half her grace and
subtlety.--_Boston Journal_.
