LARCOM, LUCY.
A New England Girlhood.
Houghton. .60
An account of Miss Larcom's youth up to the age of twenty-nine, which
includes her experiences as a Lowell mill-hand. It is not only a
record of the efforts of an aspiring young woman, but a picture of (p. 203)
one phase of New England life.
LOSSING, B.J.
The Story of the United States Navy, for Boys.
Harper. 1.75
This little work was prepared at the suggestion of Captain S.B.
Luce, U.S.N., the commander of the training-ship Minnesota.
Desirous of having it correct in every particular, I submitted
the manuscript to the Navy Department. It was returned to me with
a letter from Commodore Earl English, U.S.N., Chief of the
Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, to whom it was referred, in
which he wrote: I am much pleased with your beautiful and
instructive Story of the Navy, and I congratulate you on having
performed a labor which will contribute so much to the pleasure
and instruction of the youth of our country. Such a
bright-spirited work will refresh the memory of the noble deeds
of our departed naval heroes in the minds of the
people.
