“Each one of these sketches shows the sure touch and the
constructive instinct of a born artist in letters.”—_The
Literary World_ (Boston).
“The whole book has a pungent originality, very grateful to the
jaded reader of commonplace romance.”—_Christian Union._
“Mrs. Cavazza has made a great beginning in these stories,
which will bear more than one reading, and which, as the
work of a New England woman, are very remarkable. They are
delightful, and they are mature.”—_Richard Henry Stoddard in
Mail and Express._
=In Beaver Cove and Elsewhere.=—By MATT CRIM, author of “Adventures of a
Fair Rebel.” This volume contains all of Miss Crim’s most famous short

exceptional power.”—_The Independent._

relations of events in the old and new South are full of fire,
picturesque description, and dramatic situations.”—_Cincinnati
Commercial-Gazette._
“The true Crackers are of Northern Georgia, and Matt Crim is as
much their delineator as is Miss Murfee the chronicler of the
mountaineers of Tennessee.”—_New York Times._
=Adventures of a Fair Rebel.=—By MATT CRIM. This novel is the record of a
deeply passionate nature, the interest in whose story is enhanced by her

take service in the Northern army. Striking descriptions of the campaign
in Georgia and the siege of Atlanta are given. With a frontispiece by Dan
Beard. Cloth, 8vo, $1.00. Paper, 50 cents.

Adventures of a Fair Rebel.’”—_Atlanta Herald._
“The incidents are varied, and the interest is never
allowed to flag from opening to close of this enjoyable
novel.”—_Philadelphia Ledger._
“The style is simple and straightforward, with fine touches
here and there.... The showing forth of the best aspects
on both sides of the dreadful struggle is skillfully done,
avoiding false sentiment, and maintaining an almost judicial
tone, which does not, however, lessen the interest of the
story.”—_The Nation._
=The Master of Silence. A Romance.=—By IRVING BACHELLER. Readers of Mr.
Bacheller’s stories and poems in the magazines will look with interest
for his first extended effort in fiction. (“Fiction, Fact, and Fancy
