Alaskana-Alaska's Legends


OR Alaska in Descriptive and Legendary Poems


BY


BUSHROD WASHINGTON JAMES, A. M., M. D.


C ONTAINS the Legends of Alaska in pleasing and enter- taining Finnish verse, which lends itself to the task most agreeably. The descriptive portion of the work has not only beauty but authenticity to recommend it to the reader.


Much commendation has been given to this beautiful work by men of letters as well as by the universal public press. It is now in its third edition, each issue having been augmented by the addition of later legends. The word painting of the work is assisted by exquisite half-tone engravings taken from photographs of places and people. In typography and bind- ing the publishers have left nothing to be desired in this very elegant work.

American Resorts and Climates


BY


BUSHROD WASHINGTON JAMES, A. M., M. D.


I


N THIS work the author has classified and noted the merits of the numerous Health Resorts of America. It is undergoing careful revision, and later places of interest are to be added, bringing it up to date and making a reliable text-book and also one valuable for both invalids and pleasure seekers. In this work the writer shows the relative values of foreign and native climates, telling his conclusions in clear, moderate diction, giving desired information untrammelled by professional verbosity. A perusal will show that the object of the book is to give authentic and useful information to those needing to be guided in the selection of a climate suitable for constitutional characteristics as well as for impaired health. The author enjoys a national reputation for opinions upon cli- mates for invalids, he having traveled extensively and made many personal observations.

Dawn of a New Era in America


BY


BUSHROD WASHINGTON JAMES, A. M., M. D.


W AS WRITTEN during the gloom and depression of those days, not long past, when financial depression tended to panic in business circles and consequent distress among the classes who depend upon manufacture or com- merce for their maintenance. When Congress sat for long, wearisome weeks considering means by which to relieve the country of its weight of anxiety and to secure revenue sufficient to start the wheel of progress toward the betterment of govern- ment and people, these thoughts were penned.


The author's thoughtful mind grasped the situation, and the result was this work which contains advanced views upon political, educational, and general questions of the day, ex- pressed in language concise, but withal in such pleasantly readable form as to make the book an interesting and useful production.


1894. Published by PORTER & COATES, Now HENRY T. COATES & Co. Philadelphia, Pa. Net price, 50 cents.


Echoes of Battle


BY


BUSHROD WASHINGTON JAMES, A. M., M. D.,


T HIS IS a finely illustrated book containing several poems descrip- tive of battles of the Revolution, of the late Civil War, and of other events of · similar import. It contains also much prose matter vividly illustrative of the War for Independence; and particularly thrilling are the vivid picturings of a young surgeon's experience on the Battlefields of Antietam and Gettysburg, after the toils of war had given place to the anxious duty of relieving the sufferings of wounded and dying men, who, foes and brothers, lay side by side in helpless confusion. The illustrations of this book are not only beautiful but valuable as faithful representations of the localities in which the most momentous battles of either Revolution or Rebellion were fought. In binding also this work is exceedingly attractive.


The esteem in which this work is held is evidenced in the criticisms of the press, a few clippings of which will show their general tenor.


" The author's work is all spirited, and shows a keen appreciation of the loftiest thought inspired by these events. It is a book to kindle anew the spirit of the past."-Christian Standard, Cincinnati, Ohio.


" An attractive and instructive book."-News and Courier, Charleston, S. C.


" The poems are vigorous and stirring."-Boston Literary World.


" It should find its way into every patriotic home."-Maine Bugle.


" The lesson of patriotism cannot fail to be effective."-Woman's Tribune, Washington, D. C.


" In reading these poems one is reminded of ' Horatius at the Bridge,' or the Battle ' Shout of Ivey.'"-Home Journal, New York.


Published by PORTER & COATES, Now HENRY T. COATES & Co., Philadelphia, Pa. Price in gilt, $2.00.
