“Interest, pith, force, and charm—Mr. Parker’s new story possesses all these qualities.... Almost bare of synthetical decoration, his paragraphs are stirring because they are real. We read at times—as we have read the great masters of romance—breathlessly.”—_The Critic._ “Gilbert Parker writes a strong novel, but thus far this is his masterpiece.... It is one of the great novels of the year.”—_Boston Advertiser._ _THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE._ 16mo. Flexible cloth, 75 cents. “A book which no one will be satisfied to put down until the end has been matter of certainty and assurance.”—_The Nation._ “A story of remarkable interest, originality, and ingenuity of construction.”—_Boston Home Journal._ “The perusal of this romance will repay those who care for new and original types of character, and who are susceptible to the fascination of a fresh and vigorous style.”—_London Daily News._ ---------------------------- New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BY S. R. CROCKETT. _CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._ Uniform with “The Lilac Sunbonnet” and “Bog-Myrtle and Peat.” Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. It is safe to predict for the quaint and delightful figure of Cleg Kelly a notable place in the literature of the day. Mr. Crockett’s signal success in his new field will enlarge the wide circle of his admirers. The lights and shadows of curious phases of Edinburgh life, and of Scotch farm and railroad life, are pictured with an intimate sympathy, richness of humor, and truthful pathos which make this new novel a genuine addition to literature. It seems safe to say that at least two characters—Cleg and Muckle Alick—are likely to lead Mr. Crockett’s heroes in popular favor. The illustrations of this fascinating novel have been the result of most faithful and sympathetic study. _BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT._ Third edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. “Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author’s early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and held palpitating in expression’s grasp.”—_Boston Courier._ “Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character.”—_Boston Home Journal._ “One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the writer’s charm of manner.”—_Minneapolis Tribune._ _THE LILAC SUNBONNET._ Sixth edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
