A romance dealing with an interesting phase of Scottish and
English history, the Jacobite Insurrection of 1715, which will
appeal strongly to the great number of admirers of historical
fiction. The story is splendidly told, the magic circle which
the author draws about the reader compelling a complete
forgetfulness of prosaic nineteenth century life.

etc. Illustrated by J. W. Kennedy.

An extremely well-written story of modern life. The interest
centres in the development of the character of the heroine, a

surroundings. The reader's interest is held to the end, and the
book will take high rank among American psychological novels.

A half dozen remarkable psychological stories, delicate in

dreamy realism that is matchless in its forceful execution.
