“‘The Master of Silence’ is the first novel of Mr. Irving Bacheller, of the newspaper syndicate, and deals in a striking way with the faculty of mind-reading.”—_New York World._ “A well-named story is already on the road to success.... Altogether the story is a strange character study, full of suggestion, earnest in moral purpose, and worthy of attention.”—_Cincinnati Enquirer._ “There is no let up in the intrigue of ‘The Master of Silence,’ and there is plot and action enough in it to construct a bookcase full of novels by Howells & James.”—_Cambridge Tribune._ =Mr. Billy Downs and His Likes.=—By RICHARD MALCOLM JOHNSTON, author of “Dukesborough Tales.” Colonel Johnston has selected a number of his most characteristic and entertaining stories, now first published in book form, for a volume of the new “Fiction, Fact, and Fancy Series.” Colonel Johnston is easily the dean of Southern men of letters, and the announcement of a new volume from his pen calls for no further comment. Cloth, 12mo, 75 cents. =Moonblight and Six Feet of Romance.=—By DAN BEARD. In “Moonblight” the artist-author has brought into play all those resources of humor, imagination, and sarcasm for which he is so well known, to teach under the guise of a romance the lesson of the wrongs inflicted by capital on labor. In the light of recent events at the Homestead mills, this book seems to have been prophetic. Illustrated by the author. Cloth, 8vo, $1.00. “A strange but powerful book.”—_Philadelphia Bulletin._ “He does not construct a Utopia like Bellamy; the reforms he proposes are sensible and would be profitable, if greedy capital could be induced to consider and try them.”—_Springfield Republican._ “It is a witty, gay, poetical book, full of bright things and true things, the seer donning a jester’s garb to preach in: and one may be sure, under the shrug and the smile, of the keen dart aimed at pride, prejudice, self-seeking, injustice, and the praise for whatsoever is beautiful and good.”—_Hartford Courant._ =The Prince and the Pauper. A Tale for Young People of all Ages.=—By MARK TWAIN. New popular edition of this “classic” of American fiction.
