_PREVIOUS VOLUMES_:
=Literary Love Letters=, and Other Stories. By ROBERT HERRICK, author
of “The Man Who Wins.”
“It shows literary elegance and skill, to say nothing of the daintiest
of touches. Robert Herrick shows himself to be a past master in
subtleties of diction of the heart, and of a vivid and brilliant
imaginative turn.”--Chicago _Times-Herald_.
=A Romance in Transit.= By FRANCIS LYNDE.
“One of the most readable stories we have seen for a long time. A
comedy romance of the happiest kind.”--Bost. _Times_.
=The Old Gentleman of the Black Stock.= By THOMAS NELSON PAGE.
“The story has the delicacy, tenderness, and sweetness which
invariably characterize Mr. Page’s short stories; and the flavor of
the South and olden days is like the scent of rose leaves from a
jar.”--Boston _Times_.
=The Man Who Wins.= By ROBERT HERRICK.
“It is written with admirable restraint, and without affectations
of style, in the clearest English. It is a pleasure to welcome Mr.
Herrick into the small company of serious literary workers.”--_Chap
Book._
=Amos Judd.= By J. A. MITCHELL, Editor of _Life_. _Seventh Edition._
“It is just the book to take home to read before the fire--a book that
fulfills the simplest yet often the best function of light literature,
that of amusing.”--_The Critic._
