Mr. Howells has certainly never given us in one novel so many portraits of intrinsic interest. Annie Kilburn herself is a masterpiece of quietly veracious art--the art which depends for its effect on unswerving fidelity to the truth of Nature.... It certainly seems to us the very best book that Mr. Howells has written.--_Spectator, London._ APRIL HOPES. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50. Mr. Howells never wrote a more bewitching book. It is useless to deny the rarity and worth of the skill that can report so perfectly and with such exquisite humor all the fugacious and manifold emotions of the modern maiden and her lover.--_Philadelphia Press._ THE MOUSE-TRAP, and Other Farces. 12mo, Cloth, $1 00. Mr. Howells's gift of lively appreciation of the humors that lie on the surface of conduct and conversation, and his skill in reproducing them in literary form, make him peculiarly successful in his attempts at graceful, delicately humorous dialogue.--_Boston Advertiser._ * * * * * Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York. _Any of the above works sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._ BY CONSTANCE F.

Delightful touches justify those who see many points of analogy between Miss Woolson and George Eliot.--_N. Y. Times._ For tenderness and purity of thought, for exquisitely delicate sketching of characters, Miss Woolson is unexcelled among writers of fiction.--_New Orleans Picayune._ Characterization is Miss Woolson's forte. Her men and women are not mere puppets, but original, breathing, and finely contrasted creations.--_Chicago Tribune._ Miss Woolson is one of the few novelists of the day who know how to make conversation, how to individualize the speakers, how to exclude rabid realism without falling into literary formality.--_N. Y. Tribune._ Constance Fenimore Woolson may easily become the novelist laureate.--_Boston Globe._ Miss Woolson has a graceful fancy, a ready wit, a polished style, and conspicuous dramatic power; while her skill in the development of a story is very remarkable.--_London Life._
