"Cullingworth, ... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock
Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."--_Richard le
Gallienne, in the London Star._
"'The Stark Munro Letters' is a bit of real literature.... Its reading
will be an epoch-making event in many a life."--_Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph._
_ROUND THE RED LAMP. Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life._
"Too much can not be said in praise of these strong productions, that
to read, keep one's heart leaping to the throat, and the mind in a
tumult of anticipation to the end.... No series of short stories in
modern literature can approach them."--_Hartford Times._
"If Dr. A. Conan Doyle had not already placed himself in the front rank
of living English writers by 'The Refugees,' and other of his larger
stories, he would surely do so by these fifteen short tales."--_New

D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
_LADS' LOVE._ Illustrated.
In this fresh and charming story, which in some respects recalls "The
Lilac Sunbonnet," Mr. Crockett returns to Galloway and pictures the
humor and pathos of the life which he knows so well.
_CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._
Illustrated.
"A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If there
ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic
ragamuffin."--_London Daily Chronicle._
"In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more
graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ...
It is one of the great books."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._
"One of the most successful of Mr. Crockett's works."--_Brooklyn
Eagle._
_BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT._ Third edition.
"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that
thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They
are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous,
too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught
and held palpitating in expression's grasp."--_Boston Courier._
"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the
reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable
portrayal of character."--_Boston Home Journal._
"One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the
writer's charm of manner."--_Minneapolis Tribune._
_THE LILAC SUNBONNET._ Eighth edition.
