PUBLICATIONS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
1 JED. A Boy's Adventures in the Army of '61-'65.
A story of battle and prison, of peril and escape. By WARREN LEE GOSS, author of "The Soldier's Story of his Captivity at Andersonville and other Prisons," "The Recollections of a Private" (in the Century War Series).
In this story the author has aimed to furnish true pictures of scenes in the great Civil War, and not to produce sensational effects. The incidents of the book are real ones, drawn in part from the writer's personal experiences and observations as a soldier of the Union, during that war. The descriptions of the prison are especially truthful, for in them the author briefly tells what he himself saw. One of the best war stories ever written. Boys will read it with avidity.

5 ROLF AND HIS FRIENDS.
By J A K, author of "Birchwood," "Fitch Club," etc.
A healthful, stimulating story, showing the advantage that every boy must necessarily gain from association with intelligent, progressive young people, no matter what their color or condition in life may be. The incidents are fresh and natural, the conversations bright and piquant, and the interest well sustained, while incidentally there is a valuable leaven of information.

DOCTOR LAMAR.
A powerful work of fiction by a new author.
There can be no doubt that "Doctor Lamar" is a remarkable novel. It has originality in subject and treatment. The hero is drawn with a master hand. The picture of the heroine is a revelation of innocence and beauty of the most exquisite English type. The love story which runs through the book, like a golden thread, is an idyl. Few novels are so well calculated to appeal to a large class of readers, comprising, as it does, food both for thought and recreation.

THE FOUNDING OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE
BY WILLIAM I.
Based chiefly upon Prussian State Documents.
Translated from the German of Heinrich Von Sybel by Professor Marshall Livingston Perrin, of the Boston University; 5 volumes; 8vo, cloth, per volume, $2.00; $10.00 per set. Half morocco, $15.00
The welding together into a mighty united nation of the petty dukedoms and principalities which fifty years ago made up the heterogeniety of Germany was the greatest political feat of this century. Dr. Von Sybel, pre-eminently fitted by nature and training to be the historian of this tremendous creation, had the additional advantage of access to original sources of information in the archives of Prussia, Hanover, Hesse Cassel, and Nassau, and the State papers and diplomatic correspondence preserved in the foreign office at Berlin. His history, therefore, may be accepted as absolutely authentic, and that it has been so accepted is shown by the universal chorus of praise from German critics which greeted its first appearance, and by the fact that within two months of publication fifty thousand copies were sold. Sybel's style is remarkably smooth and attractive, full of vigor, life, and movement, and it has been admirably rendered into idiomatic English by Professor Perrin, whose long residence in Germany made the language like his mother tongue to him. Finely engraved portraits of the Emperors William I., Frederick, and William II., and of Bismarck and Moltke, give additional value to the volumes.
"Since the death of Ranke, Von Sybel has occupied unquestionably the first rank among German historians."—American Hebrew.
"The translation of this admirable history is very well done indeed. It reflects few of the German involutions, and reads smoothly and flowingly. Of the history itself, it must be said that nothing comparable to it in fulness, clearness, trustworthiness, and vigor, has been written concerning the great events of which it treats."—N. Y. Tribune.
"No reason to believe that it will be superseded during the present generation."—N. Y. Sun.
"No more important historical work has appeared in the last decade."—Nation.
