of "The Rise of Silas Lapham,"
&c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet
humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the
contrast of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells
has added the contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a
Western journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American
sort."--_The Nation._

_THE PRELATE._ By ISAAC HENDERSON. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The
situations in this powerful book are among the most intense and dramatic
of anything that has been offered by an American author for years.

_CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS._ By CLARA ERSKINE CLEMENT.
Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol. Large 12mo., with many full page
illustrations. $2.50.

This is a revised version of the greater part of the author's "Hand-book
of Legendary Art,"--of which seventeen large editions have been
exhausted. The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols
by which men's minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the
mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired. The
"Stories of the Saints" will be illustrated by numerous full page
engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of
Christian Art--prominence being given to scenes from the life of the
Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and
notable Saints of the Religious Orders.

_JOHN BODEWIN'S TESTIMONY._ By MARY HALLOCK FOOTE, Author of "The Led
Horse Claim," &c. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"Mrs. Foote's first novel raised her to a level on which she is only to
be compared with our best women novelists. To make this comparison
briefly, Miss Woolson observes keenly, Mrs. Burnett writes charmingly,
and Mrs. Foote feels intensely."--_The Critic._

No. III. AMES MEMORIAL BUILDINGS, NORTH EASTON. H.H. Richardson,
Architect.

Gelatine Plates (from nature), 13 x 16. Each in portfolio. $5.00.

The remarkable success of the first Monograph shows the demand existing
for artistic work of this high grade; and an equal sale may be predicted
for the portfolio that illustrates the beautiful marble Gothic building
of the Connecticut State Capitol. This possesses perhaps even a higher
interest than the Harvard Law School, be
