Appleton & Company** (top left): promoting books like "Reminiscences of a Very Idle Man" and "The Seven Seas" - **J.B. Lippincott Co.** (top right): holiday books including colonial and Revolutionary War histories - **Houghton, Mifflin & Co.** (bottom left): various titles like "Backlog Studies" and "The Tent on the Beach" - **G.P. Putnam's Sons** (bottom right): "Famous Homes of Great Britain and Their Stories" The advertisements emphasize gift-giving for the holiday season, featuring illustrated cloth-bound volumes typical of late 19th-century publishing.

This work comprises interesting descriptions of some of the most beautiful Homes of Old Evgland, In many instances these descriptions are from the pens of the members of the house described, adding greatly to the personal interest. The writers have been at one in endeavouring to make their contributions bright, though historical, and sufficiently diversified in points touched upon to suit the palate of the general reader. For, though those beautiful Homes invite and merit exclusive attention to their leading features, whetber in the way of Archi- tecture, Tapestry, Sculpture, Armour, old Paintings, Carved Wood, or Landscape Gardening, the general reader is apt to fight very shy of a technical treatise, however seductive the subject, oF noteworthy the examples, *,* Send for our Illustrated Holiday Catalogue of 48 page: G.
