Intellectually the novel is a masterpiece.—_Christian Union._ Emphatically a human document.—_The Boston Beacon._ Displays the most remarkable genius.—_Boston Home Journal._ Both absorbing and instructive.—_Boston Courier._ Yanko the Musician and Other Stories. By HENRYK SIENKIEWICZ. Translated from the Polish by Jeremiah Curtin. Illustrated by Edmund H. Garrett. 16mo. White and gold. $1.25. This charming volume contains the following stories of two continents by the popular author of “With Fire and Sword,” “The Deluge,” etc.: I. Yanko the Musician; II. The Lighthouse Keeper of Aspinwall; III. From the Diary of a Tutor in Poznan; IV. A Comedy of Errors, a Sketch of American Life; V. Bartek the Victor. “Yanko the Musician,” the initial story of the volumes, won the author his fame. In a review of Sienkiewicz in Blackwood’s Magazine, this beautiful story was fittingly described as _a little poem in prose, absolutely perfect of its kind_. “Bartek the Victor” is the story of a hero of the Franco-Prussian war. The Blackwood reviewer, writing of it, says: “The battle of Gravelotte is so admirably described that it is difficult to believe the writer not to have been actively engaged in it himself.” The stories are deeply intellectual.—_Philadelphia Public Ledger._ The tale of Yanko has wonderful pathos.—_Chicago Herald._ Exquisite in technical expression.—_Boston Beacon._ There is an outdoor freshness about these tales, and an impulse which, like Polish music, sets one’s blood a-tingling.—_New Haven Register._ They are full of powerful interest.—_Boston Courier._ The simple story of the lighthouse man is a little masterpiece.—_New York Times._ The admirers of the distinguished Polish novelist will not be disappointed in this volume of short stories, which is beautifully illustrated by Edmund H. Garrett, and daintily bound.—_Boston Home Journal._ These stories show that he touches nothing without mastery.—_Christian Register._ The title story is a strangely simple, pathetic story of a weakling child with a passion for music. The careful, loving treatment of the slight plot makes it, even in translation, a beautiful story.—_Chicago Figaro._ Five stories, all conceived with great power and written with masterly skill.—_Boston Gazette._ The Blind Musician.Translated from the Russian of VLADIMIR KOROLENKO by Aline Delano. With Introduction by George Kennan, and illustrations by Edmund H. Garrett. 16mo. Cloth, gilt top, $1.25. This unique and exquisite little book is less a story than a wonderfully faithful and delicate study in psychology. Though told in prose, it is in essence a poem. The volume is in _edition de luxe_, with dainty and charming bits of vignette illustration and a perfection of finish which gives refined pleasure to the touch as well as to the eye.—_Boston Transcript._
