"Notwithstanding the assertion of the title-page, the Rev. E.E. Hale is the author of the story under notice, and it is marked by all the well-known characteristics of his peculiar style. It is an account of a remarkable movement which had for its object the amelioration of human existence by carrying out those principles of a truism which Auguste Comte is credited with having formulated, but which were first embodied in the teachings of Christianity, and which find in the golden rule their tersest and highest expression. Mr. Hale is an interesting writer and a very sympathetic one. He possesses in unusual measure the merit of naturalness. He is a true realist, but instead of placing before his readers the sins, crimes and weaknesses of men, he presents only those things which are honest and of good report. The impression made by such books as his is wholly good. They tend to make their readers better and happier and more useful in their social and civil relations, and we hope that 'Ten Times One is Ten' will have a wide circulation."—North American, Phila."Roberts Brothers have issued a new edition of 'Ten Times One is Ten,' by Edward Everett Hale, one of the cleverest of our writers. It is a racy little book, inculcating wholesome morals in an effective and almost captivating way. It is worth a score of the average Sunday-school books, and has a habit of getting itself read by whoever takes it up."—New York Star.

"An exquisitely written little sketch is found in that remarkable production, 'The Little Pilgrim,' which is just now attracting much attention both in Europe and America. It is highly imaginative in its scope, representing one of the world-worn and weary pilgrims of our earthly sphere as entering upon the delights of heaven after death. The picture of heaven is drawn with the rarest delicacy and refinement, and is in agreeable contrast in this respect to the material sketch of this future home furnished in Miss Stuart Phelps's well-remembered 'Gates Ajar.' The book will be a balm to the heart of many readers who are in accord with the faith of its author; and to others its reading will afford rare pleasure from the exceeding beauty and affecting simplicity of its almost perfect literary style."—Saturday Evening Gazette."The life beyond the grave, when the short life in this world is ended, is to many a source of dread—to all a mystery. 'A Little Pilgrim' has apparently solved it, and, indeed, it seems on reading this little book as if there were a great probability about it. A soft, gentle tone pervades its every sentence, and one cannot read it without feeling refreshed and strengthened."—The Alta California.

Professor Francis J. Child, of Harvard College, says: "It is an excellent account of the chief German heroic poems of the Middle Ages, accompanied with spirited translations. It is a book which gives both a brief and popular, and also an accurate, account of this important section of literature, and will be very welcome here and at other colleges.""No student of modern literature, and above all no student who aims to understand the literary development of Europe in its fullest range, can leave this rich and ample world of early song unexplored. To all such Professor Dippold's book will have the value of a trustworthy guide.... It has all the interest of a chapter in the growth of the human mind into comprehension of the universe and of itself, and it has the pervading charm of the vast realm of poetry through which it moves."—Christian Union.

"This little book will interest lovers of animals, and the quaint style in which M. Gautier tells of the wisdom of his household pets will please every one. The translator, too, is happy in her work, for she has succeeded in rendering the text into English without loss of the French tone, which makes it fascinating. These household pets consisted of white and black cats, dogs, chameleons, lizards, magpies, and horses, each of which has a character and story of its own. Illustrations and a pretty binding add to the attractions of the volume."—Worcester Spy."The ease and elegance of Theophile Gautier's diction is wonderful, and the translator has preserved the charm of the French author with far more than the average fidelity. 'My Household of Pets' is a book which can be read with pleasure by young and old. It is a charming volume."—St. Louis Spectator.
