Printed on Tinted Paper, with a Photograph from an Original Drawing; green vellum, gilt top, $1.00.
The same, without Photograph. Cloth, red edges, 75 cts.

"Perhaps the highest compliment which can be paid them is the truthful assertion, that any person may read them with keen interest, and never reflect they were written for young people."-Continental Monthly.

Liszt's Life of Chopin.

Translated from the French by Mrs. MARTHA WALKER COOK. 1 vol. 16mo. With Portrait. Cloth, $1.00.

"It is, indeed, a beautiful little volume: paper, type, binding, and the whole external style, are most inviting, and worthy of the precious contents.... Liszt has given us a most loving, subtle, just appreciation of the composer and his music. More brilliantly imaginative chapters than those in which he describes the Polish dances are hardly to be found in any novel.... Every lover of Chopin's music should possess it."-Dwight's Journal of Music.

Mendelssohn's Letters from Italy and Switzerland.

Translated from the German by LADY WALLACE. With a Biographical Notice by JULIE DE MARGUERITTES. 16mo. Cloth, $1.25.

I vol.

"In these letters... the playful, affectionate nature of the man sheds everywhere the loveliest radiance. There is music in his descriptions, and a murmur of song seems to run through all his letters. They are the converse of his Songs Without Words, and we venture to predict that the Letters of Mendelssohn will become as classical as those compositions. seldom that we have inclination to speak of a book in terms of equal warmth."-Parthenon.

"No work from Mr. Leland's pen has afforded us so much pleasure; and we recommend it to all who want and relish bright, refreshing, cheerful reading. Every chapter in the book is delightful."-Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

"The author's design is to review the characteristics of modern literature and art, unfold the sources of their morbidness and melancholy, suggest the proper remedies, and thus open the way for a new era of culture, based on the genial and earnest study of nature. We need not say that his cause is plead with eloquence and taste."-Cincinnati Gazelle.

"We commend SUNSHINE IN THOUGHT' to the morbid, the prejudiced, the narrow, the over-sensitive, and especially to those whose sensibility is morbid and view of life partial and petulant:-to all it will be an interesting exposition and a pleasant treatise."-Boston Transcript.
