HOW TO BECOME RICH
A TREATISE ON
PHRENOLOGY
A Choice of Professions and Matrimony : A Self-Instructor
By Prof. William Windsor, Ph. D.
Fully Illustrated
Every young man and woman of reasonable intelligence is, or ought to be, possessed of a laudable ambition to be self-sustaining. To win a competency, to secure the necessities, to have even the luxuries of life, is perfectly praiseworthy, provided they are obtained in a legitimate manner. Every rational man seeks the occupation, trade or profession which ensures the profitable employment of his best talents, and the science which discloses to the youth at the beginning of his education what those talents are and how they may be developed to perfection in early manhood, confers upon him the greatest favor within the gift or knowledge, from a financial standpoint. That a knowledge of Phrenology does this, and more, this book proves beyond all question.
Paper, 184 pages. Price, 25 cents.
FACIOLOGY
Or, The Science of Character : A Self-Instructor
By L. B. Stevens, LL. B.
95 Illustrations
"Faciology" opens up an old, familiar and picturesque field of observation in a new and scientific light; it gives one a mortgage on man, aquasi-ownership in every creature and individual that comes within our range of contemplation; this science stimulates our observation and augments our reason; it teaches us to interrogate the causes and meaning of human actions, intensifies our interest in humanity, and fills the heart with a higher and more ardent devotion to philanthropy.
Paper, 208 pages. Price, 25 cents.

The American Star Speaker and Model Elocutionist
By CHARLES WALTER BROWN, A. M.
Many Speakers are advertised to bethe best, but a comparison is all that is necessary to convince anyone that our claim thatThe American Star Speaker & Model Elocutionistis beyond all question the best from an Elocutionary point of view.

Picturesque American Biographies
"In John Paul Jones and Ethan Allen, Mr. Brown found two of the most picturesque figures in the life of the country, and he has shown himself able to deal with them as historical persons, without detracting anything from the romantic qualities of their individuality. He competes with historical fiction by developing the superior interest of the facts as they grew out of the life of his heroes and the life of their times. Few biographies intended for popular reading and the widest general circulation illustrate this same faculty of measuring statement and giving its governing value to fact while developing the picturesque and the romantic as it lies latent in history."—William Vincent ByarsinThe St. Louis Star.

LOVE LETTERS
With Directions How To Write Them
By INGOLDSBY NORTH.
This is a branch of correspondence which fully demands a volume alone to provide for the various phases incident to Love, Courtship and Marriage. Few persons, however otherwise fluent with the pen, are able to express in words the promptings of the first dawn of love, and even the ice once broken how to follow up a correspondence with the dearest one in the whole world and how to smooth the way with those who need to be consulted in the matter. The numerous letters and answers in this book go far to overcome the difficulties and embarrassment inseparable from letters on this all-absorbing topic in all stages from beginning to end of a successful courtship, aided in many instances by the author's sensible comments on the specimen letters, and his valuable hints under adverse contingencies. It also contains the Art of Secret Writing, the Language of Love portrayed and rules in grammar.
