D. LOTHROP & COMPANY'SBULLETIN OF NEW BOOKS.History of China.By Robert K. Douglass.12MO, CLOTH, ILLUSTRATED, $1.50.Until this book appeared, a thoroughly good one-volume history of the "Walled Kingdom" for popular use, was not to be had. There have been many works upon China and the Chinese, but of these few have attempted to summarize the history of that great empire and its citizens in a single comprehensive work, and none have done so with such success as to meet the popular need. In this volume we have an authentic, scholarly and most interesting summary of Chinese history from the earliest period to the present time. In addition to the careful editing of Mr. Arthur Gilman, the book has had the advantage of the critical abilities of the young Chinese scholar, Mr. Yan Phou Lee, of Yale College. The volume is richly illustrated with appropriate engravings, and will rank among standard books.Southern Alaska and the Sitkan Archipelago.By Eliza Ruhama Scidmore.FULLY ILLUSTRATED, 12MO, CLOTH, $1.50.No book yet published bears any comparison with this volume in respect of valuable and authentic information relating to the history, geography, topography, climate, natural scenery, inhabitants, and rich resources of this wonderfulterra incognita. The author, who is a writer of well-known reputation, has had exceptional opportunities for the preparation of her attractive work, having visited the regions described, at different periods, under most favorable circumstances, and having had access to the government documents relating to the history and surveys of Alaska, aside from the kindly assistance of the experts and scientists best acquainted with that marvellous region. Her book has all of the interest of a delightfully written story of adventures in a comparatively unknown region, and with the additional value which it possesses as the only approach thus far made to trustworthy treatise upon the history and resources of Alaska it will commend itself to all persons interested in that country, either as students orvoyageurs.Many Colored Threads.Selections from the writings of Goethe, edited by Carrie Adelaide Cook.EXTRA CLOTH, $1.00.Those familiar with the writings of the great German author, and those who know little of them, will be alike interested in this collection of "best thoughts." Eloquence, pathos, romance, philosophy—a wide range of sentiment and feeling, characteristic of the life of Goethe—are revealed in these selections. The book is a worthy companion to the six preceding volumes of the widely-circulated "Spare Minute Series"—Thoughts that Breathe, Dean Stanley;Cheerful Words, George MacDonald;The Might of Right, Gladstone;True Manliness, Thos. Hughes;Living Truths, Charles Kingsley;Right to the Point, Dr. Cuyler.Wide Awake, Volume I.PLAIN CLOTH BINDING, $1.75; EXTRA BINDING, COVERS STAMPED IN COLORS AND GOLD, $2.25.Including Charles Egbert Craddock's serial story "Down the Ravine," with other serials by famous authors, and nearly three hundred original illustrations by celebrated artists.
