Appleton's Town and Country Library No. 200 DENOUNCED BY THE SAME AUTHOR. IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY. A ROMANCE. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. "We do not hesitate to declare that Mr. Bloundelle-Burton's new romance will be very hard to beat in its own particular line. In his previous works Mr. Burton gave evidence which entitled him to a very prominent place among the writers of his class; and now, at another bound, he has leaped into the foremost rank. If he only keeps up to the level of 'In the Day of Adversity,' he must continue to rank as one of the most interesting and popular writers of the day. . . . Mr. Burton's creative skill is of the kind which must fascinate those who revel in the narratives of Stevenson, Rider Haggard, and Stanley Weyman. Even the author of 'A Gentleman of France' has not surpassed the writer of 'In the Day of Adversity' in the moving interest of his tale."--_St. James's Gazette_. New York: D.
