One of the best stories of recent years. It had no large success on publication but the sale has steadily increased, every reader recommending it to others. Mr. George Merriam Hyde writes in the _Book Buyer_: "The story seems to me the strongest and sincerest bit of fiction I have read since "Quo Vadis." The _Bookman_ says of it: "A novel in praise of the most lovable of men of letters, not even excepting Charles Lamb, must be welcome, though in it the romance of Goldsmith's life may be made a little too much of for strict truth * * * Mr. Moore has the history of the time and of the special circle at his finger-ends. He has lived in its atmosphere, and his transcripts are full of vivacity. * * * "The Jessamy Bride" is a very good story, and Mr. Moore has never written anything else so chivalrous to man or woman." 12mo. Cloth. Third impression. $1.50. THE IMPUDENT COMEDIAN AND OTHERS A volume of capital short stories relating to seventeenth and eighteenth centuries characters--Nell Gwynn, Kitty Olive, Oliver Goldsmith, Dr. Johnson, and David Garrick. They are bright, witty and dramatic. The person who has a proper eye to the artistic in fiction will possess them ere another day shall dawn.--_Scranton Tribune_. Full of the mannerisms of the stage and thoroughly Bohemian in atmosphere.--_Boston Herald_. The celebrated actresses whom he takes for his heroines sparkle with feminine liveliness of mind.--_New York Tribune_. A collection of short stories which has a flash of the picturesqueness, the repartee, the dazzle of the age of Garrick and Goldsmith, and Peg Wellington and Kitty Clive.--_Hartford Courant_. Mr. F. Frankfort Moore had a capital idea when he undertook to throw into story form some of the traditional incidents of the history of the stage in its earlier English days. Nell Gwynn, Kitty Clive, Mrs. Siddons, Mrs. Abbington and others are cleverly depicted, with much of the swagger and flavor of their times.--_The Outlook_. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. HERBERT S. STONE & Co., CHICAGO & NEW YORK. * * * * * By MARIA LOUISE POOL A GOLDEN SORROW This novel was running serially in _Godey's Magazine_ at the time of Miss Pool's death. It will not, however, be completed in that periodical, but will be issued at once in book form. It is a story of love and adventure in St. Augustine, much more exciting than Miss Pool's stories usually are, but with all her delightful sense of humor. 16mo. Cloth. $1.25. IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY "In Buncombe County" is bubbling over with merriment--one could not be blue with such a companion for an hour.--_Boston Times_.
