OFF THE SKELLIGS.

A NOVEL.

By JEAN INGELOW. 16mo. 670 pages. Price $1.75

_From the Literary World._

"The first novel from the pen of one of the most popular poets of the
age--written, too, in the author's maturity, when her name is almost
exclusively associated with verse, so far as literature is concerned,
and therefore to be regarded as a deliberate work, and one in which she
challenges the decisive judgment of the public--will be read with
universal and eager interest.... We have read this book with constantly
increasing pleasure. It is a novel with a soul in it, that imparts to
the reader an influence superior to mere momentary entertainment; it is
not didactic, but it teaches; it is genuine, fresh, healthy, presents
cheerful views of life, and exalts nobility of character without seeming
to do so."

Extract from a private letter,--not intended for publication,--the
hearty opinion of one of the most popular and favorite writers of the
present day:--

"_Thanks for the book. I sat up nearly all night to read it, and think
it very charming.... I hope she will soon write again; for we need just
such simple, pure, and cheerful stories here in America, where even the
nursery songs are sensational, and the beautiful old books we used to
love are now called dull and slow. I shall sing its praises loud and
long, and set all my boys and girls to reading 'Off the Skelligs,' sure
that they will learn to love it as well as they do her charming Songs.
If I could reach so far, I should love to shake hands with Miss Ingelow,
and thank her heartily for this delightful book._"

AUNT JO'S SCRAP-BAG.

BY LOUISA M. ALCOTT.

Vol. I. Comprising "My Boys," &c. 16mo. Cloth, gilt. Price $1.00.

_From the London Athenaeum._

A collection of fugitive tales and sketches which we should have been
sorry to lose. Miss Alcott's boys and girls are always delightful in her
hands. She throws a loving glamour over them; and she loves them herself
so heartily that it is not possible for the reader to do otherwise. We
have found the book very pleasant to r
