"If Italian literature includes any more such unique and charming stories as this one, it is to be hoped that translators will not fail to discover them to the American public. The 'Eleventh Commandment' deals with a variety of topics--the social intrigues necessary to bring about preferment in political life, a communal order, an adventurous unconventional heiress, and her acquiescent, good-natured uncle, and most cleverly are the various elements combined, the whole forming an excellent and diverting little story. The advent of a modern Eve in the masculine paradise (?) established at the Convent of San Bruno is fraught with weighty consequences, not only to the individual members of the brotherhood, but to the well-being of the community itself. The narrative of M'lle Adela's adventures is blithely told, and the moral deducible therefrom for men is that, on occasion, flight is the surest method of combating temptation."--_Art Interchange, New York._ "Very entertaining is the story of 'The Eleventh Commandment,' ingeniously conceived and very cleverly executed."--_The Critic, New York._ * * * * * =A WHIMSICAL WOOING.=--By =Anton Giulio Barrili=, from the Italian by Clara Bell, in one vol. Paper, 25 cts. Cloth, 50 cts. "If 'The Eleventh Commandment,' the previous work of Barrili, was a good three-act play, 'A Whimsical Wooing' is a sparkling comedietta. It is one situation, a single catastrophe, yet, like a bit of impressionist painting of the finer sort, it reveals in a flash all the possibilities of the scene. The hero, Roberto Fenoglio, a man of wealth, position, and accomplishments, finds himself at the end of his resources for entertainment or interest. Hopelessly bored, he abandons himself to the drift of chance, and finds himself, in no longer space of time than from midnight to daylight--where and how, the reader will thank us for not forestalling his pleasure in finding out for himself."--_The Nation, New York._ "'A Whimsical Wooing' is the richly-expressive title under which 'Clara Bell' introduces a cleverly-narrated episode by Anton Giulio Barrili to American readers. It is a sketch of Italian life, at once rich and strong, but nevertheless discreet in sentiment and graceful in diction. It is the old story of the fallacy of trusting to a proxy in love matters."--_Boston Post._ _William S. Gottsberger, Publisher, New York._ * * * * * =ERNESTINE.=--A Novel, by =Wilhelmine von Hillern=, from the German by S. Baring-Gould, in two vols. Paper, 80 cts. Cloth, $1.50. * * * * *
