Governesses -- Fiction; Love stories; New England -- Fiction; Young women -- Fiction
By JOHN STRANGE WINTER. Is a book which must stand unique in modern
literature because the character of Angelique Dodsworth, the
heroine, is an original conception. She was a charming creature,
with the sense of the value of money very imperfectly developed. The
story of her going to London from her humble home at Beech Croft,
and eventually marrying a title, is fascinating in both plot and
style. It is a first-class story. Cloth bound.

FATHER ANTHONY.
By ROBERT BUCHANAN. “One of the most touching and dramatic stories
ever written in connection with Irish life. It is a heart-stirring
story; and it is the more attractive because Mr. Buchanan writes of
Irish life from personal knowledge, and describes places and people
with which, and with whom, he has had a long familiarity. Father
John is a typical Irish character. Mr. Buchanan has never conceived
a more finely-drawn character than Father Anthony. The book can be
heartily commended to all classes of readers.”—_London Weekly Sun._

THE SONG OF THE SWORD, a Romance of 1796.
By LEO DITRICHSTEIN. This author needs no introduction to the public.
In this thrilling story he displays a perfect wealth of plots and
critical situations. It is an excellent work, fine and subtle, with
many exciting scenes. A spirit of chivalrous romance exudes from
each chapter. There is in fact an odor of romance all about it. The
work spent on the central figures is splendid, and the entire book
satisfies the demand for combined entertainment and interest in a
historical novel. Cloth bound. Illustrated.

WIDOW MAGOOGIN.
By JOHN J. JENNINGS. The inimitable Irish widow’s philosophy on the
topics of the day, spoken in her own dialect, is wonderfully funny.
As a critic the “Irish widow” touches upon the foibles of fads and
fashions with masterly sarcasm, and Mr. Jennings, in his art, has
characterized her with skilful touches true to nature. Cloth bound.

MATTHEW DOYLE.
By WILL GARLAND. This is a powerful story, and one with an object. The
vital question of lynching is its theme, and arguments on both sides
of the subject are ably set forth. The author has written with
spirit and drawn his characters with firm and clear strokes. It is
original, exciting, and shows clearly the true position of the negro
in the south, in an unprejudicial manner. It is a great book. Cloth
bound.
