NEW BOOKS.

Fables in Song.

A By OWEN MEREDITH (Robert Lord Lytton), author of "Lucile," etc. I vol. 16mo. Cabinet Edition. Gilt top....

.........$2.00

A new volume of poems by the author of "Lucile" is sure of a wide reading. These "Fables in Song" are such as Esop might have written if he had lived in this century and enjoyed its best culture. They cover a large range of topics, they puncture deftly many a folly and sham, they are pervaded by practical good sense, and they are written in varied measures so peculiarly attractive that they will delight persons who do not usually read poetry.

"One of the most noticeable characteristics of these poems is that in them the souls of things are revealed; and all flowers and weeds that grow seem to have a human interest for us. So, indeed, do all creatures-bird, butterfly, mole, eagle, homely barnyard fowl, lion, fox-we feel their very hearts beat."-L. C. M. in N. Y. Tribune.

Comprising Reminiscences and Letters of Thackeray, Dickens, Haw

By JAMES T. FIELDS.

thorne, Miss Mitford, and others. Cheaper Edition. I vol.

[ocr errors]
[blocks in formation]

"Mr. Fields has certainly met with signal success in the composition of an entertaining volume. It will offer a rare charm to the lovers of literary anecdote—a class which probably includes the whole of its readers-and in many considerable portions possesses an interest no less enticing than the naive recitals of Boswell, or the pleasant recollections of Crabb Robinson."-New York Tribune.

Zelda's Fortune.

Vol. 37 in Osgood's Library of Novels. 8vo. Illustrated. Paper, $1.00; cloth.........$1.50 "Quite out of the range of ordinary novels. It is distinguished by unusual descriptive power, strong characterization, and a vigor of narration that enchains the reader's attention."

NEARLY READY.

Young Brown.

By GRENVILLE MURRAY, author of "The Member for Paris," etc. I vol. 8vo. Illustrated. Paper, 75 cents; cloth..... ..$1.25 A story of remarkable force, and displaying great knowledge of the world. In quite another sphere, it is no less noteworthy than "The Member for Paris," of which the Westminster Review said: "His is the best English novel descriptive of French life, both in Paris and the provinces, which we have read for years. The characters are all clearly and incisively drawn, and there is not a dull page in the book."

PARTON'S JEFFERSON.

The Life of Thomas Jefferson.

By JAMES PARTON. I vol. Crown 8vo, pp. 764. Uniform with Parton's works. With fine portrait..

Parton is a born biographer, as his Franklin, Jackson, and Burr abundantly prove. of Jefferson is one of his happiest efforts, and-to readers-most delightful.

New-York Tribune.

THE LEADING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER.
BETTER THAN EVER.

"The new TRIBUNE of to-day, like the old TRIBUNE of the past, is to be consecrated to the development of ideas, the exposition of principles, and the promulgation of truth."

The unanimous and unsolicited verdict of the hundreds of thousands of readers of THE TRIBUNE, is that the paper was never so good as at the present time. During the past year it has enlarged its field and improved its facilities in every direction, and enters upon the year 1874, which is to be one of the most important in public and political affairs, with most encouraging prospects. THE TRIBUNE, however, believes in deeds rather than in words, in results rather than in promises. It points to its record and its columns for the past twelve months as the best evidence of what it has done, and the most satisfactory pledge of what it will do. All the distinctive features of the paper will be preserved and strengthened; the "Extras," whose sale has reached hundreds of thousands, will be continued; the front of its new building completed, and the present admitted pre-eminence of the paper, not only maintained, but still further advanced. TERMS OF THE TRIBUNE.

DAILY (by Mail), one year. $10.

SEMI-WEEKLY, one year, $3; five copies, one year, $12.50; ten copies (and one Extra), one year, $25.
