around the world, which lasted from July first, 1876, to May twenty-sixth, 1877. FINNEMORE, JOHN. (p. 210) Italy. Illustrated by Alberto Pisa and Others. Macmillan. .75 We travel over the Alps, and through the country to Naples and Sicily. The wonderful cities of this historic land are described, and a brief account given of its many poor but happy people. There are twelve illustrations in color. HIGGINSON, T.W. (Editor). Young Folks' Book of American Explorers. Longmans. 1.20 It has always seemed to me that the narratives of the early discoverers and explorers of the American coast were as interesting as Robinson Crusoe, and were, indeed, very much like it. This has led me to make a series of extracts from these narratives, selecting what appeared to me the most interesting parts, and altering only the spelling.... One great thing which I have wished my readers to learn is the charm of an original narrative.... The explorers of various nations are represented in this book. There are Northmen, Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Spaniards, and Dutchmen.--_Preface._ These original accounts cover the field of American exploration from the discovery of the country by the Northmen in 985 to the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629. KING, C.F. Roundabout Rambles in Northern Europe. Lothrop. 1.25 This very fully illustrated volume gives a conversational account of a trip through Great Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and (p. 211) Russia. It is an excellent book for children to use while travelling. Mr. King has also prepared several about our own country. LUMMIS, C.F. Some Strange Corners of Our Country. Century. 1.50 Mr. Lummis describes the wonders of the Southwest,--the Grand Canon, the Petrified Forest of Arizona, and the Desert. He tells of the Moquis in their seven seldom visited Pueblo cities, of the Navajos and other Indian tribes, with their strange customs, dances, and magic. HYGIENE Life is not mere living, but the enjoyment of health. MARTIAL. WOOD-ALLEN, M. (S.). The Man Wonderful, or The Marvels of Our Bodily Dwelling. Educational. 1.00
