“Mr. Le Gallienne is first of all a poet, and these
little essays, which savor somewhat of Lamb, of
Montaigne, of Lang, and of Birrell, are larded with
verse of exquisite grace. He rarely ventures into the
grotesque, but his fancy follows fair paths; a certain
quaintness of expression and the idyllic atmosphere
of the book charm one at the beginning and carry one
through the nineteen ‘fancies’ that comprise the
volume.”—CHICAGO RECORD.
MARIA LOUISE POOL.
=IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY.= 16mo. $1.25.
A volume of connected sketches of country life in the South. It is on
the order of Miss Pool’s recent book entitled “In a Dike Shanty” which
received such favorable comment. It is not sensational; it is not
exciting; it is merely peaceful and pleasing, with a quiet current of
delightful humor running all through.
MARTIN J. PRITCHARD.
=WITHOUT SIN;= a novel. 12mo. $1.25. Second edition.
The NEW YORK JOURNAL gave a half-page review of the book and proclaimed
it “the most startling novel yet.”
“Abounds in situations of thrilling interest. A unique
and daring book.”—REVIEW OF REVIEWS (London).
“One is hardly likely to go far wrong in predicting
that WITHOUT SIN will attract abundant notice. Too
much can scarcely be said in praise of Mr. Pritchard’s
treatment of his subject.”—ACADEMY (London).
“The very ingenious way in which improbable incidents
are made to appear natural, the ingenious manner in
which the story is sustained to the end, the undoubted
fascination of the writing, and the convincing charm
of the principal characters, are just what make
this novel so deeply dangerous while so intensely
interesting.”—THE WORLD (London).
=CHAP-BOOK STORIES;= a volume of Reprints from the
Chap-Book, by OCTAVE THANET, GRACE ELLERY CHANNING,
MARIA LOUISE POOL, AND OTHERS. 16mo. $1.25.
The authors of this volume are all American. Beside the well-known
names, there are some which were seen in the Chap-Book for the first
time. The volume is bound in an entirely new and startling fashion.
=CHAP-BOOK ESSAYS=, by T. W. HIGGINSON, LOUISE CHANDLER
MOULTON, H. H. BOYESEN, H. W. MABIE, AND OTHERS. 16mo.
$1.25.
Essays, by the most distinguished living writers, which it has been
judged worth preserving in more permanent form than the issues of the
Chap-Book could give.
ALBERT KINROSS.
=THE FEARSOME ISLAND;= being a Modern rendering of
the narrative of one Silas Fordred, Master Mariner
of Hythe, whose shipwreck and subsequent adventures
are herein set forth. Also an appendix accounting in
a rational manner for the seeming marvels that Silas
Fordred encountered during his sojourn on the fearsome
island of Don Diego Rodriguez. With a cover designed by
Frank Hazenplug. 16mo. $1.25.
