_For sale by all booksellers, or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, by the Publishers,_ A. S. BARNES & CO. 156 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK Rod's Salvation. BY ANNIE ELIOT TRUMBULL. Illustrated by Charles Copeland. 12mo, cloth, 285 pages. $1.00. * * * * * The volume entitled "Rod's Salvation," contains four short stories, some of which are long enough to be fairly called novelets.... "Rod's Salvation" is a good picture of 'longshore life, telling of the devotion of a sister to a scapegrace brother and well worthy a reading.--_Springfield Republican._ Miss Trumbull is blessed by a most delightful and unpretentious gift of story-telling. Her work suggests a twilight musician; she has a certain dainty humor in her touch.--_The Citizen._ "Rod's Salvation" appears to us the most interesting sketch of the four in the present volume. It proves a thorough comprehension of the noblest characteristics of the inhabitants of the typical New England fishing village. The author shows us diamonds in the rough, and with a most happy talent, suddenly reveals to us the gleaming beauties beneath their rude exterior. "Rod's Salvation" is an inspiring story, the pathos of which is accentuated by the delicate satire, exquisite humor, and touches of kindly human nature which lead one up to the unexpected climax.--_The Church Review._ A Cape Cod Week. BY ANNIE ELIOT TRUMBULL. 12mo, cloth, 170 pages. $1.00. * * * * * The keenness, quickness, and acuteness of the New England mind were, perhaps, never better illustrated than in her stories. Her conversations are at times almost supernaturally bright; such talk as one hears from witty, brilliant, and cultivated American women--talk notable for insight, subtle discriminations, unexpected and surprised terms and persuasive humor. "A Cape Cod Week" contains an account of the adventures and achievements of three young women who sought the seclusion, silence, and scenery of Cape Cod, and who enlivened that remote and restful country by flashes of talk often brilliant, almost always entertaining. Miss Trumbull's work is delightful reading: the sameness of the commonplace and the obvious is so entirely absent from it.--_The Outlook._ Annie Eliot Trumbull delights in fine descriptions of nature as it exists. The book is capital reading and its merits can be appreciated the whole year round.--_New York Times._
