With seven etched Portraits and Views. This is the authorized biography of Mr. Whittier, arranged for while he was yet living. Mr. Pickard was closely connected with him, enjoyed his full confidence, and was intrusted with all available material for his Life. He has produced a work which the lovers of Whittier will welcome with sincere gratitude. He tells the story of Whittier as the shy Quaker boy; as feeling the impulse, and steadily increasing in the power, to express himself in verse; as becoming a clarion voice in the great struggle for Freedom, then a pure and uplifting voice in uttering the highest human aspirations, commanding the heartiest respect, and winning the sincerest affection of the nation. Mr. Whittier's letters include not only those to famous men, like Channing, Garrison, Sumner, Dr. Holmes, Lowell, Bayard Taylor, and scores of others, but those to friends less distinguished, yet no less successful in calling forth the frank and friendly sentiments which caused his letters to be highly prized. Whittier's Complete Poetical Works. New Cambridge Edition. From entirely new plates, printed from large type, on opaque paper, and attractively bound. With a Biographical Sketch, Notes, Index to Titles and First Lines, a Portrait, and an Engraving of Whittier's Amesbury home. Uniform with the Cambridge Longfellow. Crown 8vo, gilt top, $2.00; half calf, gilt top, $3.50; tree calf or full levant, $5.50. This volume presents Whittier's Complete Poems in the same form as the Cambridge Edition of Longfellow's Poems, which has proved exceedingly satisfactory, and is in such constantly increasing demand as to show that the public appreciates the comprehensive character of the volume, and the unusual excellence of its typography, paper, and binding. Whittier's Complete Poetical Works. New Handy-Volume Edition. In four beautiful volumes, large type, opaque paper, tasteful binding. With four Portraits and a View of Whittier's Oak Knoll home. Uniform with the Handy-Volume Longfellow. 4 vols. 16mo, $5.00; half calf, extra, gilt top, $9.75; full morocco, flexible, in fine leather box, $9.75; full calf, flexible, $12.75. This is an entirely new edition, from new plates, and in all respects is like the Handy-Volume Edition of Longfellow's Poems published last year, which is a favorite with lovers of choice books, and which, like the Cambridge Edition, is steadily increasing in popular demand. Each volume has a Portrait, the four representing the poet at different periods of his life. For sale by all Booksellers. Sent, postpaid, on receipt of price by the Publishers. HOUGHTON, MIFFLIN AND COMPANY, 4 PARK STREET, BOSTON; 11 EAST 17TH STREET, NEW YORK. Four Books by Percival Lowell Occult Japan: The Way of the Gods. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo, gilt top, $1.75. This is a careful and prolonged study of the Shinto faith of Japan in its more unfamiliar forms and mysterious usages. It adds not a little to a philosophical explanation of hypnotism, and indeed, of human consciousness. It is no second-hand report, but is based on thorough personal observation and participation in more or less of the mystic rites described. The great interest of the revelations made in the book and its engaging and ever alert style cannot fail to secure for it a wide reading. Noto: An Unexplored Corner of Japan. 16mo, gilt top, $1.25. The author describes a journey of a few days in one of the least interesting parts of that travelers' Paradise, Japan, and he contrives to make the most ordinary incidents delightful. We can recommend the volume in the most unhesitating manner to all readers who like good things of this class, and shall look forward for the coming of fresh work from Mr. Percival Lowell's pen. There is nothing in this book to quote, for no single passage can give an accurate impression of its most personal charm, —an easy playfulness full of wit, and yet without a single story.
