“Good, stirring tales are they.... Remind one of those adventures indulged in by ‘The Three Musketeers.’ ... Written with a dash and swing that here and there carry one away.”--_New York Mail and Express._ _RODNEY STONE._ “A notable and very brilliant work of genius.”--_London Speaker._ “Dr. Doyle’s novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident and excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the human side of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere charged with the spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting Anglo-Saxon.”--_New York Critic._ _ROUND THE RED LAMP._ _Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life._ “A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern literature.”--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._ _THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS._ Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by STARK MUNRO, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell, Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884. “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._ D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. * * * * * By FRANK R. STOCKTON. =The Captain’s Toll-Gate.= A Complete Posthumous Novel by FRANK R. STOCKTON, Author of “Kate Bonnet,” “The Lady or the Tiger,” etc. With a Memoir by Mrs. Stockton, an Etched Portrait, Views of Mr. Stockton’s Home, and a Bibliography. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. The scene is partly laid in Washington but mainly in that part of West Virginia where the author spent the last three years of his life. Incidents centering about the “Toll-Gate” and a fashionable country home in the neighborhood are related with the author’s peculiar humor and charm of diction which have endeared him to a host of readers. The heroine who is an embodiment of the healthy vigorous girl of to-day, and her several suitors, together with the mistress of the country house and a meddlesome unmarried woman of the village, combine to present a fascinating and varied picture of social life to the present day. “In the story we have the real Stockton at his best and brightest. The fun, the whimsicality, the queer doings, the very delightful people are such as his readers have been entertained with for so many years. The fertility of invention and ingenuity is as fresh as in the early stories, and perhaps Mr. Stockton never came nearer to success in trying to keep a long story together to the end without digressions or a break in the plot. The heroine is a charming girl, her married hostess still more charming, and there are plenty of others the reader will be glad to meet.
