■glut's librarii of the WorlO gest gooto.
The Descent of Man. By Charles Darwin. Portrait. 12mo,
illustrated, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. By Charles
Dickens. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
Nicholas, the hero of the tale is a young man of impetuous temper, not
always blameless in his actions, indeed, not always agreeable, yet upon the
whole, so manly, so honest and so lovable, that we overlook his faults, and
sympathize with him in his misfortunes, and rejoice with him in his successes.
Lucile. By Owen Meredith (Edward Robert Bulwer-Lytton).
Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
In the character of Lucile we have the author’s highest and purest embodi-
ment of intellect and virtue. First subduing her own nature, she is content to
spend all the treasures of her life and genius in offices of well-doing, and from
the heart of a woman thoroughly true and good, and ever ready for self-sacri-
fice, she finally diffuses health and strength into the hearts of all around her.
The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club. By Charles
Dickens. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top fl.00.
The Pickwick Papers chronicle the travels and adventures of the immortal
Mr. Pickwick and his fellow members of the Pickwick Club, and the varied
pictures of life through which we follow the kind old bachelor, his three friends
and his attached servant, the inimitable Sam Weller, are of absorbing interest.
First Principles. By Herbert Spencer. Portrait. 12mo,
cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
The Personal History of David Copperfield. By Charles
Dickens. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
David Copperfield is a novel full of tenderness and purity of feeling, and in
it Dickens presents to the full that comprehensiveness of sympathy which
springs from a sense of brotherhood with all mankind.
The Old Curiosity Shop. By Charles Dickens. Portrait.
12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
“ The Old Curiosity Shop ” abounds with vivid descriptions of human life and
character, and the reader’s attention is held until the very end . . . Of all of
Dickens’ works there is none which appeals more strongly to our heart than
this story of childish abnegation and devotion.
Middlemarch; A Study of Provincial Life. By George
Eliot. Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
" Middlemarch ” is a study of Provincial life, and is unquestionably one of
the strongest of English novels. . . . It is a picture, vast, swarming, deep
colored, crowded with episodes, with vivid images, with lurking master strokes,
with brilliant passages of expression, and as such we may freely accept and
enjoy it.
The Life of Christ. By Frederic W. Farrar, D.D., F. R S.
Portrait. 12mo, cloth, gilt top, fl.00.
Great ability, ripe literary skill, graphic description and a fine spiritual insigh;
are conspicuous in every chapter and taken altogether it is the most marked of
all the many attempts in our own days to present to us the human life of the
Savior of mankind.
For sale by all Booksellers, or will be sent post-paid on receipt of price, by the pub
Usher, Be.L. Bl'RI, 66 Beade St.,New York.
