VIRGINIBUS PUERISQUE, and Other Papers. (12mo, $1.00; Cameo Edition, with etched portrait, $1.25.)

FAMILIAR STUDIES OF MEN AND BOOKS. (12mo, $1.25.)

“If there are among our readers any lovers of good books to whom Mr. Stevenson is still a stranger, we may advise them to make his acquaintance through either of these collections of essays. The papers are full of the rare individual charm which gives a distinction to the lightest products of his art and fancy. He is a notable writer of good English, who combines in a manner altogether his own the flexibility, freedom, quickness and suggestiveness of contemporary fashions with a grace, dignity, and high-breeding that belong rather to the past.”--N. Y. Tribune.

CHARLES W. STODDARD.

SOUTH SEA IDYLS. (12mo, $1.50.)

“Neither Loti nor Stevenson has expressed from tropical life the luscious, fruity delicacy, or the rich, wine-like bouquet of these sketches.”--The Independent.

RICHARD HENRY STODDARD.

UNDER THE EVENING LAMP. (12mo, $1.25.)

“A very charming volume of gossipy criticism on such poets as Burns, Motherwell and Hartley Coleridge.”--Public Opinion.

ART FOR ART’S SAKE. (With 24 illustrations. 12mo, $1.50.)

“The clear setting forth of the facts and theories of painting has its advantages in these days when there is so much art analysis that nobody can understand. This essayist deals with the subtleties, but in so doing he illuminates them. Moreover he is very interesting. His book ‘reads itself,’ as the phrase is.”--New York Sun.
