astonishing wealth of illustration and decora tion; the flowers in Mrs. Deland's fragrant garden are here all in bloom, and with them are the fairies, the "rare and radiant maidens," whom Mr. Crane's magic touch evokes, and about them the twining, festooning, waving farcies, in which his genius delights. His designs which are in color, have been very successful reproduced. The book is of convenient size, and is bound in an attractive style after M Crane's own design. A red-letter Holiday inIdeed will that be which shall be graced by a more exquisite gift-vo ume than this.

Deephaven printed in large type in a crown octavo volume, and enriched with about fifty illustrations by Mr. Charles H. and Mrs. Marcia O. Woodbury. The artists know intimately the scenes, the types of characters, the very atmosphere, of Miss Jewett's stories: and this knowledge is supplemented by the power to depict them fitly. The result is eminently satisfactory, and the handsome book will commend itself to seekers after choice gifts in which literary charm, the artist's sure touch, and the bookmaker's skill combine in a symmetrical and beautiful product.

homes, its

sweet and tender household ties; its hearty appreciation of all homelike virtues, graces, and felicities, and its genuine poetic charm,all these have given it a degree of popular favor accorded to few poems. Now nine other poems by Longfellow, kindred in character and rich in home feeling, are added to The Hanging of the Crane. Several very attractive pictures have been designed for it by Messrs. Garrett, Taylor, Merrill, Caliga, and Carleton, and the carefully printed and daintily bound volume is a fit companion for At Sundown of last year and SnowBound and The Vision of Sir Launfal of recent years, each every way charming and very available for use as a gift.

BOATS GOING OUT. By Charles H. Woodbury. From Miss Jewett's "Deephaven."

SPECIAL attention is invited to the two entirely new editions of Longfellow's Complete Poetical Works. The Handy-Volume Edition is in five exquisite volumes, a Handy-Volume little larger than the ordinary Handy volumes, printed

from beautiful large type, on paper specially made with a view to opacity and printing qualities, and bound in a noticeably attractive

style. Each volume has a por-
trait of Longfellow, the five
representing him at different
periods of his career. This
is designed to be as perfect
a product of book-making art
as the Riverside Press can
achieve, and is admirably
adapted for Holiday uses.
The new Cam-

bridge Edition New Cambridge
Longfellow
is in a single vol-
ume, printed from large type
on opaque paper, and attrac-
tively bound. It contains a
portrait, an engraved title, a
biographical sketch, some
notes, and an index of first
lines. It is the ideal one-vol-
ume edition of Longfellow's
Poetical Works, and should
not be overlooked at this sea-

Not a few of the pictures represent scenes now only historic, as they have been much changed since Hawthorne looked on Rome from Hilda's tower. Very different in character, but in their way of perhaps equal interest, are Mr. Howells's delightful volumes describing in De his inimitable way the

Of smaller gift-books, less elaborate and costly, but not less attractive, mention should be made of Whittier's most famous volume. Snow-Bound, and his beautiful last book, At Sundown:

Delightfully interesting books, supple mented with fitting pictures and attractive binding, are of Cartersville Hopkinson Smith's delicious Colonel Carter of Carters ville, a book that may well contribute to "the gayety of Uncle Remus nations; " Joel Chandler Harris's Uncle Remus and his Friends, a most engaging volume of old plantation stories, songs.
