A New Book By Marion Haeland.

Loiterings in Pleasant Paths.

One volume, 12mo, ----- $1.75

Books of travel have multiplied of late years almost in a direct ratio to the increased facilities for journeying, and it may be said that the quality has also proportionately improved. We have works profusely adorned with superb illustrations, and others without pictorial embellishments, relying for their attractiveness on the charm of a skilled pen and the freshness of first impressions. Such a book is Loiterings In Pleasant Paths, by "Marion Harland," whose Common Senso books have made her name a household word in every part of Hie land.

"These 'familiar talks from afar' are no fancy sketches, but actual experiences and impressions of a sluewd observer, whose mind was enriched and fully prepared to observe accurately and write intelligently and profitably. Marion Harland always writes books with a purpose, and the present volume is no exception to her rule." - Chicago Inter-Ocean.

"The observations of so clever a woman, who carries her head with her upon her travels and ventures to make use of all her faculties, are worth writing about and reading about, and this particular traveller has the good gift of so writing about them that the reading is a constant and unfailing source of pleasure." - Evangelist.

"Those who are going abroad will find this volume a delightful companion by the way; while those who are compelled to stay at home will find it the best possible substitute for the pleasure of foreign travel, as proved by actual experience." - N. Y. Evening Post.
