LIFE OF REV.  WARREN H. CUDWORTH.  By His Sister. 380 pp. $1.50.  A simple and remarkably interesting biography of one of the most useful and saintly of Christian men.  It will be welcomed and read with satisfaction by all who knew this earnest, noble minister of the gospel, and to those who never saw him, it will be full of suggestive thoughts.

THE EVOLUTION OF DODD.  By William Hanley Smith. (In press.) Extra Cloth. 12mo, $1.00.  This remarkable book is destined to create as great a stir, in its way, as “Ginx’s Baby,” although written in an entirely different style.  It treats of phases of young life as seen through the spectacles of a keen-eyed man, sharp enough to let none of the intricacies of the newer systems of education evade him.  It should be read by every parent, teacher, and public school officer in this or any other country.  While for pure amusement in watching Dodd’s evolution, it is one of the richest books of the season.

BACCALAUREATE SERMONS. By Rev. A.P.  Peabody, D.D.  LL.D. 12mo, $1.25.  The sermons contained in this volume, delivered before the graduating classes of Harvard University, it is safe to say are not excelled by any productions of their kind.  They are not only rarely appropriate, as discourses addressed to educated young men upon the threshold of active life, but are models of logical thought, and graceful rhetoric worthy the study of all ministers.

IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.  By Dr. D.A.  Sargent.  Illustrated.  Boston:  D. Lothrop & Co.  Price 60 cents.  This little handbook is worth its weight in gold, and should be found on the most convenient shelf of every family library.  The author is connected with the Harvard College Gymnasium, and the contents of the volume are made up of practical talks delivered before the ladies’ class of the gymnasium.  His aim is to give such practical information as will aid to self-preservation in times of danger, and to teach a few of the simplest methods of meeting the common accidents and emergencies of life.  The illustrations are numerous and excellent.

RED LETTER STORIES.  Price 60 cents.  Madame Johanna Spyri is pronounced by competent critics the best living German writer for children.  Miss Lucy Wheelock of the Chauncy Hall School, Boston, has gracefully translated some of her most charming tales, under the above title.  This delightful volume, prettily bound and illustrated, is one of the best selling books of the season.

HOW SUCCESS IS WON. (Little Biographies.  Third Series.) By Mrs. Sarah K. Bolton.  Price $1.00.  This is the best of the recent books of this popular class of biography; all its “successful men” are Americans, and with two or three exceptions they are living and in the full tide of business and power.  In each case, the facts have been furnished to the author by the subject of the biography, or by family friends; and Mrs. Bolton has chosen from this authentic material those incidents which most fully illustrate the successive steps, and the ruling principles, by which success has been gained.  A portrait accompanies each biography.
