BY PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON,

Author of "A Painter's Camp."

First AMERICAN EDITION. REVISED BY THE AUTHOR.

One Vol. 16mo. 400 pages. Price $2.00.

[blocks in formation]

Since the publication of that charming volume, “A Painter's Camp," Mr. Hamerton has published "The Unknown River: An Etcher's Voyage of Discovery," with thirty-seven illustrations, etched from nature, by the author. The Unknown River was the Arroux, a tributary of the Loire, and the voyage was performed in a boat built by the author, with his dog Tom for his only companion; and the illustrations were etched from nature on the way. Nothing can be more delightful than this volume; it is a marvel of artistic interest.

"Thoughts about Art" will be mailed, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of the advertised price, by the publishers,

PINK AND WHITE TYRANNY.

BY MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE,

Author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," "The Minister's Wooing," &c.

With Illustrations. 1 vol. 16mo. Price $1.50.

This vivid and pointed novel of modern society presents to us in a story, which will not be called exaggerated, some of those phases of life around us which are none the less dangerous because they are called contemptible. The extravagance of the newly rich, who have never learned the use of money, and the failure of the substitutes by which people who live by sensation try to supply the place of honor and religion, have never been portrayed more precisely. At the same time Mrs. Stowe does justice to that sex which is not enough remembered in the discussion of the wrongs of Woman. For she describes, as no one else can describe, the tyranny under which a loyal and chivalrous gentleman suffers most terribly. The pen, which more than any other quickened the public heart till the black slavery of centuries was broken, will render a service not less considerable, if it so wake the conscience of men and women that pink and white tyranny of women over men shall be impossible.

MESSRS. ROBERTS BROTHERS propose to issue, under the above heading, a Series of Handy Volumes, which shall be at once various valuable, and popular, their size a most convenient one, their typography of the very best, and their price extremely low. They will entertain the reader with poetry as well as with prose; now with fiction, then with fact; here with narration, there with inquiry; in some cases with the works of living authors, in others with the works of those long since dead. It is hoped that they will prove to be either amusing or instructive, sometimes curious, often valuable, always handy. Each Volume will, as a rule, form a work complete in itself.
