because of the wealth of valuable information
concerning the colonists which it contains. That
it has been brought out once more, well
illustrated, is something which will give pleasure
to thousands who have long desired an opportunity
to read the story again, and to the many who have
tried vainly in these latter days to procure a
copy that they might read it for the first time.

=THE PEARL OF ORR'S ISLAND.= A story of the Coast of Maine. By Harriet
Beecher Stowe. Cloth, 12mo. Illustrated. Price, $1.00.

Written prior to 1862, the "Pearl of Orr's Island"
is ever new; a book filled with delicate fancies,
such as seemingly array themselves anew each time

wild angry howl of some savage animal."

Who can read of the beginning of that sweet life,
named Mara, which came into this world under the
very shadow of the Death angel's wings, without
having an intense desire to know how the premature
bud blossomed? Again and again one lingers over
the descriptions of the character of that baby boy
Moses, who came through the tempest, amid the
angry billows, pillowed on his dead mother's
breast.

There is no more faithful portrayal of New England
life than that which Mrs. Stowe gives in "The
Pearl of Orr's Island."

=RICHELIEU.= A tale of France in the reign of King Louis XIII. By G. P.

Price, $1.00.

In 1829 Mr. James published his first romance,
"Richelieu," and was recognized at once as one of
the masters of the craft.

In this book he laid the story during those later
days of the great cardinal's life, when his power
was beginning to wane, but while it was yet
sufficiently strong to permit now and then of
volcanic outbursts which overwhelmed foes and
carried friends to the topmost wave of prosperity.
One of the most striking portions of the story is
that of Cinq Mar's con
