CULTURE'S

GARLAND:

Being Memoranda of the gradual rise of Literature, Art, Music and Society in Chicago and other Western Ganglia. By EUGENE FIELD, of the "Chicago News." With Preface by Julian Hawthorne. No. 16 of Ticknor's Paper Series. 50 cents. In cloth, $1.

"The account of Mr. James Russell Lowell's visit to Chicago last winter, the comments on 'Colonel' Thomas Bailey Aldrich's Last Cæsar,' and the estimate of the complete works of Sappho by members of the Literary Club, are quite as good as much of Mark Twain's work."-Boston Post.

666

"The Works of Sappho,' 'Dixey as a Nemesis,' 'A Spanish Romance,' More about Kate Field,' 'A Chicago Christmas Legend,' and hosts of others, are inimitable in their comedy. Whatever else one has, or goes without, he will be sure to possess a copy of the funniest book on modern record."Boston Traveller.

"The name of Eugene Field is a famous and a favorite name in journalism. He bears the reputation of a humorist, but his humor is not of the conventional order; it has a wider and a loftier scope. The present little volume comprises a bubbling forth of delightful badinage and mischievous raillery. It is a book which doubtless will attain a national popularity; admirable, and indeed irresistible, in its way."-JULIAN HAWTHORNE.

[Extract from Mrs. Partington's Introduction.] "Well, well," said Mrs. Partington, her spectacles beaming with delight as she turned over the leaves of the new cookery book, "I declare, it excites my salvation glands even to read the names of these good things. It seems as though the greatest epicac might find something among all these meats and cosmetics to give a jest to appetite. Now a book like this will come into a house like an oasis in the desert of the great Sarah, and be a quarantine of perpetual peace."
