lake's style, the wonderful beauty of his pictures, the subtle irony of his reflections, have made him so long a favorite and companion, that it is with unfeigned regret we read the word "farewell" with which these volumes close._--Pall Mall Gazette, _London._ III.

With Portrait. 12mo, Cloth, $1 75. _The most delightful pot-pourri that we could desire of the time just anterior to our own....

HIGGINSON, Author of "A Larger History of the United States," &c. 16mo, Cloth, $1 00. _These essays are replete with common-sense ideas, expressed in well-chosen language, and reflect on every page the humor, wit, wisdom of the author._--N. Y. Sun. VI. Plain, sensible, sturdy advice.--Chicago News. BIG WAGES, AND HOW TO EARN THEM. By A FOREMAN. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents. _The views of an intelligent observer upon some of the foremost social topics of the day.

Vol. III. _nearly ready_. _Characterized by the same astounding reach of historical scholarship as made Mr. Lea's "Sacerdotal Celibacy" the wonder of European scholars.
