ROMANCE AND REVERIE. By EDGAR FAWCETT. 1 vol. 12mo.  Printed on fine hand-made paper, with gilt top. $2.00.  A volume of poems, by the author of “Song and Story.”

“Mr. Fawcett was the man of whom Longfellow expected more than from any of the other young American authors, both as a poet and novelist.”—­American Queen.

“The Revue des Deux Mondes gives high praise to Mr. Fawcett’s poetry, and compares his briefer lyrics to the famous ‘Emaux et Camees’ of Theophile Gautier.”—­Beacon.

STORIES AND SKETCHES. By JOHN BOYLE O’REILLY, editor of the Pilot, author of “Moondyne,” Songs, Legends, Ballads etc. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

The great popularity of the author, and the intrinsic merit and interest of his writings, will ensure a warm reception to this collection of his latest and best works.

MOROZ’ KRASNYI-NOS’ (Red-Nosed Frost).  Russian:  Sostavil’ Nikolai Alekseevich’ Nekrasov’.  Translated in the original meters from the Russian of N.A.  NEKRASOV.

CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AND STORIES OF THE SAINTS. By CLARA ERKSINE CLEMENT.  Assisted by KATHERINE E. CONWAY. 1 vol.  Large 12mo., with many full page illustrations. $2.50.

This is a revised version of the greater part of the author’s “Hand-book of Legendary Art,”—­of which seventeen large editions have been exhausted.  The clear and beautiful explanation of the expressive symbols by which men’s minds are helped to reverent contemplation of the mysteries of revealed religion, leaves nothing to be desired.  The “Stories of the Saints” will be illustrated by numerous full page engravings from the rarest and finest works of the great masters of Christian Art—­prominence being given to scenes from the life of the Blessed Virgin, and pictures of the Evangelists, and the Founders and notable Saints of the Religious Orders.
