It is rich in curious legends and myths of the darker sort, and it is a startling proof of the halting progress of mankind, that some of the most ancient and horrible of these superstitions-as the dread of the vampire and the were-wolf -prevail at this day in certain parts of Europe."—North American Review.

KEMBLE'S (FRANCES ANN) RECORDS OF A GIRLHOOD. Large 12mo. With Portrait. $2.50.

"This book is so charming, so entertaining, so stamped with the impress of a strong, remarkable, various nature, that we feel almost tormented in being treated to a view only of the youthful phases of character. Like most of the novels that we read, or don't read, this volume is the history of a young lady's entrance inte life. Mrs. Kemble's young lady is a very brilliant and charming one, and out only complaint is that we part company with her too soon. What we have here, however, is excellent reading. She is naturally a writer; she has a style of her own which is full of those felicities of expression that indicate the literary sense."-Nation.

"A book of the rarest interest to all lovers of literature."-N. Y. Eve. Post. "In no one English book has so rich a store of great legends ever before been collected. To praise this wonderfully delightful volume is a mere waste of words." -Phila. Times.

GAUTIER'S (THEOPHILE) WORKS.

A Winter in Russia. Translated by M. M. RIPLEY. 12mo. $1.75.

"As little like the ordinary book of travel as a slender antique vase filled with the perfumed wine of Horatian banquets is like the fat comfortable tea-cup of a modern breakfast-table."-N. Y. Tribune.

The book is a charming one, and nothing approaching it in merit has been written on the outward face of things in Russia. He sees pictures where most people find mere dead surfaces; and where common eyes find the tint of a picture, he constructs a complete work of art."—Nation.
