EVERY-DAY BUSINESS, PRACTICAL NOTES ON ITS DETAILS
Arranged for Young People
by M. S. EMERY
Price, cloth, 50 cents
An accurate knowledge of how to attend to the every-day affairs of a business life is, indeed, a most valuable possession. The requirements of modern business life are manifold and exacting, demanding technical information, and, besides, quite a degree of what may justly be termed “cultivation.” This valuable and indispensable book covers a wide range of information of much importance, and is designed as a text-book for schools, and for ready reference for young people and those who need such instruction as it contains. It treats in an attractive and clear manner subjects which bear on every-day callings, like “Letter-writing,” by which so large a percentage of business is conducted; “Bills, Receipts, and Accounts;” “Post-Office Business,” with instructions regarding late advantages and scope of accommodation; “Telegrams,” “Express Business,” “United States Money,” “Savings Banks,” “National Banks,” “Bank Checks,” “Notes and Drafts,” “Mortgages,” “Investment and Speculation,” “Taxes,” “Fire Insurance,” and “Life Insurance.” These are topics conveying a general idea of the worth of the book—topics about which business men must know, and covering that which they who would be business men must learn. Keeping relatively abreast of modern methods, the educators of our day see the necessity of imparting business knowledge, as well as that which is purely scientific, historical, or literary in its nature; hence, the adaptability of “Every-Day Business” to the necessities of American schools and our progressive ways of life.
AN HOUR WITH DELSARTE
A STUDY OF EXPRESSION, by Anna Morgan, of the Chicago Conservatory. Illustrated by Rosa Mueller Sprague and Marian Reynolds, with full-page figure illustrations, 4to, cloth, $2.00.
“This beautiful quarto volume presents the ideas of Delsarte in words which all may understand. It is explicit and comprehensible. No one can read this book or study its twenty-two graceful and graphic illustrations without perceiving the possibility of adding strength and expression to gestures and movements, as well as simplicity and ease. Mr. Turveydrop went through life with universal approval, simply by his admirable ‘deportment.’ Every young person may profitably take a hint from his success, and this book will be found invaluable as an instructor.”—Woman’s Journal, Boston.
“‘Flexibility and grace’ are the watchwords of this great teacher, and it must be conceded that the charming young ladies who serve as models throughout the book have their share of these two desiderata of expression; this book gives an altogether charming insight into Delsarte’s system, and no young lady who desires to acquire ease of manner and grace of carriage could do better than to read it carefully. The style is quite in keeping with the subject, light, graceful, and entertaining.”—American Stationer.
