Hic Fructus Virtutis; Clifton Waller Barrett [figure description] Paste-Down Endpaper with Bookplate: heraldry figure with a green tree on top and shield below. There is a small gray shield hanging from the branches of the tree, with three blue figures on that small shield. The tree stands on a base of gray and black intertwined bars, referred to as a wreath in heraldic terms. Below the tree is a larger shield, with a black background, and with three gray, diagonal stripes across it; these diagonal stripes are referred to as bends in heraldic terms. There are three gold leaves in line, end-to-end, down the middle of the center stripe (or bend), with green veins in the leaves. Note that the colors to which this description refers appear in some renderings of this bookplate; however, some renderings may appear instead in black, white and gray tones.[end figure description]

stock of ideas which our age has furnished. Every page bears the impress of thought, but it is thought
subtilized, and redolent of poetry.

MRS. PUTNAM'S RECEIPTS. A new and enlarged edition. One volume. 12mo. Price, 75 cents.

The best Cook Book published.

THE LIFE OF JOHN STERLING. By Thomas Carlyle. In one volume 12mo. Price, $1.

THE CONFLICT OF AGES; or, the Great Debate on the Moral Relations of God
and Man. By Edward Beecher. D. D. 12mo. Price, $1.25.

“We calmly pronounce this volume to be the most important contribution which has been made for
years to our religious literature. It is an honest, manly, candid, and most able exposition of the workings
of a free and cultivated mind upon a theme second in solemnity and practical influence to no other within
the range of human thought.”

Christian Examiner.

LETTERS TO A YOUNG PHYSICIAN. By James Jackson. M. D., LL. D., Professor
Emeritus of the Theory and Practice of Physic in the University at Cambridge, etc., etc.

A most valuable work for the general reader, as well as the professional man. 1 vol. 12mo. $1.

The reputation of the venerable author is so wide-spread that it is needless to present any eulogy of his
works. For fifty years in active practice, at the head of his profession, he enjoyed every opportunity for
gaining information. The medical student and the young practitioner will receive great benefit from
this treatise, the condensed result of such a valuable experience.

THE EARNEST MAN. A Sketch of the Character and Labors of Adoniram Judson,
First Missionary to Burmah. By Mrs. H. C. Conant. In one volume, 16mo. Price $1.

To meet the general demand for a Life of the great Missionary in a more popular form than that of the
elaborate work of President Wayland, this volume has been prepared with the approval of the family
and friends of the lamented subject, the copy-right being held for the benefit of his children.

THOUGHTS AND THINGS AT HOME AND ABROAD. By Elihu Burritt. In
one volume, with a portrait. Price, $1.

This is in many respects a remarkable book—especially as showing the wonderful perseverance, industry,
and application of the author from his earlier years, and while struggling against a thousand adverse
influences. His efforts were crowned with success, and the name of the Learned Blacksmith has become
as familiar as a household word. The Essays are prefaced by a very pleasant and appreciative biographical
sketch by Mary Howitt.
