BIBLIOGRAPHIC KALEIDOSCOPE. APPRECIATIONS. BV MAKV CROMWELL JAKRETT. “ This volume of essays is most interesting for the glimpse which it affords of the author's own character.

C. B.”—Harpers. THE PHILOSOPHY OK THE ANCIENTS. A Collection of Earnest. Heartfelt Essays. BY EDITH JONHS. Bound in Brown Vellum, edges uncut.

A PANSY GROWER. BY LIDA VIRGINIA KIRK. “A Pansy Grower, a little volume bound in black and orange, is a book absorbing in its human interest. The story is wonderfully well planned, the thoughts clearly and concisely expressed. It is a work in which the author displays a humor like that of Lincoln, and a nature as sweet at the core.” —Princeton Critic. 2 1
