MRS. MORTIMER'S

BOOKS FOR THE NURSERY.

Lines Left Out.

The volume is an attractive juvenile book, handsomely brought out, rendering Scripture incidents into pleasant paraphrases.--_Northwestern Christian Advocate_, Chicago.

More about Jesus.

More about Jesus. Ill.u.s.trations and a Map. By Mrs. ELIZABETH MORTIMER. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents.

It consists of a series of stories, embracing the whole of the events in the life of our Blessed Lord, told in a plain, simple style, suited to the capacities of children of seven or eight years of age. But better still, all good children's books are good for adults; and this will be found equally useful to put into the hands of very ignorant grown-up people, who may from this learn the story of man's redemption in an intelligent manner. Many of the lessons are ill.u.s.trated with pictures of the places mentioned.

Streaks of Light.

Streaks of Light; or, Fifty-two Facts from the Bible for Fifty-two Sundays of the Year. Ill.u.s.trated. By Mrs. ELIZABETH MORTIMER. 16mo, Cloth, 75 cents.

"This little work," says the author, "has received the distinguished honor of being appointed to be one of the cla.s.s-books of the Samoan Collegians, and has been made to subserve the highest of all purposes--the preaching of the Gospel. To that purpose it is adapted when the hearers are untaught, untrained, and unreflecting. Each lesson can be understood by those who have no previous knowledge, and each is calculated to be the first address to one who has never before heard of G.o.d or his Christ."

Reading without Tears.

Reading without Tears; or, A Pleasant Mode of Learning to Read.

Ill.u.s.trated. Small 4to, Cloth. By Mrs. ELIZABETH MORTIMER. Two Parts. Part I., 49 cents; Part II., 62 cents; complete in One Volume, $1.03.

An easy, simple, and pleasant book for the tiny scholars of the nursery-room. It contains a picture for every word of spelling capable of pictorial explanation. The reading-lessons have been carefully selected, being composed of the preceding spelling-lessons, by which means, together with the picture meanings, the words are easily impressed on the memory of a very young child.--_Athenaeum_, London.

Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York.

By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Ill.u.s.trated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.

It is a capital book for boys. * * * The stories it contains are full of the kind of novelty, peril, and adventure which are so fascinating.--_Spectator_, London.

Wild Life under the Equator.

By PAUL B. DU CHAILLU. Ill.u.s.trated. 12mo, Cloth, $1.50.

The amount of enjoyment that was afforded to the children by the previous work of this author, "Stories of the Gorilla Country," is beyond computation. * * * We have read every word of "Wild Life under the Equator" with the liveliest interest and satisfaction. No ingenious youth of twelve in the land will find it more "awfully jolly" than did we.--_N. Y. Evening Post._
