LOTUS-EATING. A Summer Book. Illustrated from Designs by Kensett. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

This delightful volume is a record of summer rambles, touching gracefully on many of the most interesting spots in American scenery, and giving a series of lively pictures of the celebrated places of fashionable resort.

PRUE AND I. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

In the character and fancies of an old book-keeper, the author of these charming essays has embodied the sweetest and most genial humor which has graced English literature since the delightful Essays of Elia.

NILE NOTES OF A HOWADJI. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

The author takes the reader with him into rare and beautiful scenes of nature, unfolds the mysteries of Arabian life, and reproduces the strange incidents of a unique tour in language of wonderful vividness and force.

THE HOWADJI IN SYRIA. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

It abounds in picturesque descriptions of the marvels of the Holy Land, throwing fresh light on ancient localities, and imbued with the spirit of sympathy and reverence for the sacred scenes which it calls forth from the dim oblivion of the past.

THE POTIPHAR PAPERS. Illustrated by Drawings from Hoppin. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50.

As graphic and telling descriptions of a peculiar phase of American society, they are unexcelled; the fresh and sparkling wit, the genial humor, and keen and truthful satire with which "Our Best Society" is dissected, have delighted thousands, and made "Mrs. Potiphar" a proverb.

TRUMPS. A Novel. Illustrated by Hoppin. 12mo, Cloth, $2 00.

Gay and sparkling in its external aspect, the novel is evidently the fruit of profound insight and conscientious adherence to the truth of nature, as well as of acute observation and a spontaneous liveliness of humor. The materials are drawn from the many-colored exhibitions of fashionable and commercial life in New York; and they are wrought up into a cabinet of portraitures which vividly reflect the familiar traits of the original.
