"The established authorities in art and literature retain their exclusive place in dictionaries and hand-books long after the claim of their juniors to be observed with attention has been practically conceded at home. For this reason, partly, and partly also because the mental life of Holland receives little attention in this country, no account has yet been taken of the revolution in Dutch taste which has occupied the last six or seven yean. I believe that the present occasion is the first on which it has been brought to the notice of any English-speaking public.... 'Eline Vere' is an admirable performance."--Edmund Gosse, in Introduction. "Most careful in its details of description, most picturesque in its coloring."--Boston Post. "A vivacious and skillful performance, giving an evidently faithful picture of society, and evincing the art of a true story-teller."--Philadelphia Telegraph. "Those who associate Dutch characters and Dutch thought with ideas of the purely phlegmatic, will read with astonishment and pleasure the oft-times stirring and passionate sentences of this novel."--Public Opinion. "The dénoûment is tragical, thrilling, and picturesque."--New York World. "If modern Dutch literature has other books as good as this to offer, we hope that they will soon find a translator."--Chicago Evening Journal. A PURITAN PAGAN. By Julien Gordon, author of "A Diplomat's Diary," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger grows stronger as she writes.... The lines in her story are boldly and vigorously etched."--New York Times. "The author's recent books have made for her a secure place in current literature, where she can stand fast.... Her latest production, 'A Puritan Pagan,' is an eminently clever story, in the best sense of the word clever."--Philadelphia Telegraph. "Has already made its mark as a popular story, and will have an abundance of readers.... It contains some useful lessons that will repay the thoughtful study of persons of both sexes."--New York Journal of Commerce. "This brilliant novel will without doubt add to the repute of the writer who chooses to be known as Julien Gordon.... The ethical purpose of the author is kept fully in evidence through a series of intensely interesting situations."--Boston Beacon. "It is obvious that the author is thoroughly at home in illustrating the manner and the sentiment of the best society of both America and Europe."--Chicago Times. THE FAITH DOCTOR. By Edward Eggleston, author of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," "The Circuit Rider," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "An excellent piece of work.... With each new novel the author of 'The Hoosier Schoolmaster' enlarges his audience, and surprises old friends by reserve forces unsuspected. Sterling integrity of character and high moral motives illuminate Dr. Eggleston's fiction, and assure its place in the literature of America which is to stand as a worthy reflex of the best thoughts of this age."--New York World.
