Miss Woolson never once follows the beaten track of the orthodox
novelist, but strikes a new and richly-loaded vein, which so far is all
her own; and thus we feel, on reading one of her works, a fresh
sensation, and we put down the book with a sigh to think our pleasant
task of reading it is finished. The author's lines must have fallen to
her in very pleasant places; or she has, perhaps, within herself the
wealth of womanly love and tenderness she pours so freely into all she
writes. Such books as hers do much to elevate the moral tone of the
day--a quality sadly wanting in novels of the time.--_Whitehall Review_,
London.

BY MARIA LOUISE POOL.
THE TWO SALOMES. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
A work of notable power and artistic feeling.--_Literary World_, Boston.
The character conceptions of the story are all good and well wrought
out, the situations are all logical and expressive, and the interest in
the problem keeps fresh till the close of the book.--_Providence
Journal._
KATHARINE NORTH. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
"Katharine North" is, from an artistic and literary standpoint, Miss
Pool's best work, and will take high rank among the novels of the year.
The story is an intensely interesting one, and is most skilfully
constructed.--_Boston Traveller._
MRS. KEATS BRADFORD. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
Miss Pool's novels have the characteristic qualities of American life.
They have an indigenous flavor. The author is on her own ground,
instinct with American feeling and purpose.--_N. Y. Tribune._
ROWENY IN BOSTON. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.
Is a surprisingly good story.... It is a very delicately drawn story in
all particulars. It is sensitive in the matter of ideas and of phrase.
Its characters make a delightful company. It is excellent art and rare
entertainment.--_N. Y. Sun._
DALLY. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25; Paper, 50 cents.
There is not a lay figure in the book; all are flesh and blood
creations.... The humor of "Dally" is grateful to the sense; it is
provided in abundance, together with touches of pathos, an inseparable
concomitant.--_Philadelphia Ledger._
