In two volumes. 16mo, per volume, cloth, 75 cents; paper, 40 cents. It is full of warm life as well as knowledge. It is a most artistic and satisfying story, and the archæologist is subordinated to the artist. The love romance is prettily conceived and developed, and the era selected gives ample opportunity for novelty of description and originality of surprises."-Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. Messrs. D. Appleton & Co. are the publishers of the complete edition of Ebers's works. DICKY MONTEITH. A Love-Story. By T. GALLON, author of "Tatterley' and "A Prince of Mischance."

It is an effective and engrossing story from first to last. NEWS FROM THE BIRDS. This little book of tidings from birdland has been written with two purposes in mind. The first is, to furnish actual instruction, to tell some new facts about bird life that have not yet been recited—that is, in short, to give a little bird "news." The second purpose of the book is inspiration. It is not intended for a key. Instead of telling all that is or may be known about a particular bird, only such incidents are recited as will spur the reader to go out into the fields and woods and study the birds in their native haunts. THE STORY OF THE MIND. By Prof. JAMES MARK BALDWIN, of Princeton University. Library of Useful Stories. Illustrated. 16mo, cloth, 40 cents. A volume that has long been needed and the subject has here been treated by a master-hand. It is one of the best introductions to the subject of psychology with which we are acquainted. The little volume is not only a lucid and forcible elementary study, but the practical lessons it tells or implies are of the utmost value. . . . We strongly recommend the book to serious readers, especially to those who have hitherto avoided books on psychology as being too abstruse and dry."-Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. STUDIES OF GOOD AND EVIL. "To any one at all interested in the deeper intellectual problems of the time, these essays by Professor Royce will open lines of thought that tend inevitably to a broadened mental horizon."-Boston Beacon.
