_MAJESTY._ A Novel. By LOUIS COUPERUS. Translated by A. TEIXEIRA DE
MATTOS and ERNEST DOWSON. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"There have been many workers among novelists in the field of royal
portraiture, but it may be safely stated that few of those who have
essayed this dubious path have achieved more striking results than M.
Couperus. 'Majesty' is an extraordinarily vivid romance of autocratic
imperialism."--_London Academy._
"No novelist whom we can call to mind has ever given the world such a
masterpiece of royal portraiture as Louis Couperus's striking romance
entitled 'Majesty.'"--_Philadelphia Record._
"There is not an uninteresting page in the book, and it ought to be read
by all who desire to keep in line with the best that is published in
modern fiction."--_Buffalo Commercial._
_THE NEW MOON._ By C. E. RAIMOND, author of "George Mandeville's
Husband," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"A delicate pathos makes itself felt as the narrative progresses, whose
cadences fall on the spirit's consciousness with a sweet and soothing
influence not to be measured in words."--_Boston Courier._
"One of the most impressive of recent works of fiction, both for its
matter and especially for its presentation."--_Milwaukee Journal._
"An intensely interesting story. A curious interweaving of old
superstitions which govern a nervous woman's selfish life, and the
brisk, modern ways of a wholesome English girl."--_Philadelphia Ledger._
_THE WISH._ A Novel. By HERMANN SUDERMANN. With a Biographical
Introduction by ELIZABETH LEE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"Contains some superb specimens of original thought."--_New York World._
"The style is direct and incisive, and holds the unflagging attention of
the reader."--_Boston Journal._
"A powerful story, very simple, very direct."--_Chicago Evening Post._
_SLEEPING FIRES._ By GEORGE GISSING, author of "In the Year of Jubilee,"
"Eve's Ransom," etc. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
In this striking story the author has treated an original motive with
rare self-command and skill. His book is most interesting as a story,
and remarkable as a literary performance.
_STONEPASTURES._ By ELEANOR STUART. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
"This is a strong bit of good literary workmanship.... The book has the
value of being a real sketch of our own mining regions, and of showing
how, even in the apparently dull round of work, there is still material
for a good bit of literature."--_Philadelphia Ledger._
_COURTSHIP BY COMMAND._ By M. M. BLAKE. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
"A bright, moving study of an unusually interesting period in the life
of Napoleon,... deliciously told; the characters are clearly, strongly,
and very delicately modeled, and the touches of color most artistically
done. 'Courtship by Command' is the most satisfactory Napoleon
_bonne-bouche_ we have had."--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
_THE WATTER'S MOU'._ By BRAM STOKER. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
