Staël, Madame de (Anne-Louise-Germaine), 1766-1817
“Fair Harbor is one of the few places now left in the world
which most people know nothing about. You may count on your
fingers the men and women who have ever heard of it; and if you
have the usual number of fingers, your list will come to an
end first.” And in this “singularly pretty and attractive bit
of the very tip end of the heel of Cape Cod” some happy summer
idlers passed the delightful “week away from time” which the
book records. A bit of advice: Read it.
THROUGH THE GATES OF GOLD.
A Fragment of Thought. By MABEL COLLINS. 16mo. Limp cloth. Style of “A
Little Pilgrim.” 50 cents.
“A work which is reported to be of a remarkable character
will be published by Roberts Brothers in February. It is
called ‘Through the Gates of Gold;’ and though by a well-known
author, it was submitted to that house under conditions of the
strictest secrecy, and nothing concerning the writer’s identity
or nationality is to be revealed. As Roberts Brothers have had
much experience in the secret-keeping business, there seems to
be little prospect that the mystery surrounding the origin of
the work will be penetrated. The book deals with problems of
the future life in an unusual manner, and it is believed that
it will make as much of a sensation as did ‘The Gates Ajar.’
Its simultaneous publication in London has been arranged for.”

found peace and salvation in the worship of a non-miraculous
Christ.”
