One is permitted to discover qualities of mind and a proficiency and capacity in art from which something new and distinctively the work of genius may be anticipated in American literature.--_Boston Globe._ Miss Rives has imagination, breadth, and a daring and courage oftenest spoken of as masculine. Moreover, she is exquisitely poetical, and her ideals, with all the mishaps of her delineations, are of an exalted order.--_N. Y. Star._ It was little more than two years ago that Miss Rives made her first literary conquest, a conquest so complete and astonishing as at once to give her fame. How well she has sustained and added to the reputation she so suddenly won, we all know, and the permanency of that reputation demonstrates conclusively that her success did not depend upon the lucky striking of a popular fancy, but that it rests upon enduring qualities that are developing more and more richly year by year.--_Richmond State._ It is evident that; the author has imagination in an unusual degree, much strength of expression, and skill in delineating character.--_Boston Journal._ There are few young writers who begin a promising career with so much spontaneity and charm of expression as is displayed by Miss Rives.--_Literary World_, Boston. The trait which the author seems to take the most pleasure in depicting is the passionate loyalty of a girl to her lover or of a young wife to her husband, and her portrayal of this trait has feeling, and is set off by an unconventional style and brisk movement.--_The Book Buyer_, N. Y. There is such a wealth of imagination, such an exuberance of striking language in the productions of this author, as to attract and hold the reader.--_Toledo Blade._ Miss Rives is essentially a teller of love stories, and relates them with such simple, straightforward grace that she at once captures the sympathy and interest of the reader.... There is a freshness of feeling and a mingling of pathos and humor which are simply delicious.--_New London Telegraph._ HARPER & BROTHERS _will send either of the above works by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States or Canada, on receipt of the price._ * * * * * A STRANGE MANUSCRIPT FOUND IN A COPPER CYLINDER.
