Country life -- England -- Fiction; Domestic fiction; Love stories
They are all interesting, full of careful studies of life and
nature, written wholly without pretence or affectation, with a
feeling of sweet human sympathy, gilded by pleasant touches of
humor.--OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, writing of Miss Wilkins' stories.
JANE FIELD. A Novel. $1 25.
This is one of the cleverest and best-thought-out books of the

line tells.--_Guardian._

Miss Mary Wilkins has fairly surpassed her predecessors in this

very remarkable production.--_The Spectator._
MADELON. $1 25.
YOUNG LUCRETIA, and other Stories. Illustrated. $1 25.
We know of no one who can write a short story with such art and

Gazette._

CARDIGAN. Illustrated. $1 50.
A rattling good Indian story of the days just before the
Revolution. The descriptions of frontier life and Indian fighting
remind one of Stephen Crane at his best. The love affair between
Cardigan and "Silver Heels" is one of the most original in recent
fiction.
The picture of Pittsburg fashionable society in 1774, the balls,
races, taverns, diversions, the intrigue of Lord Dunmore, the
elopement and pursuit, the savagery of Indian warfare, the
treachery of the Tories, are of the most exciting and wonderful
character.--_Pittsburg Post._
THE CONSPIRATORS. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, $1 50.
There is an unmistakable brilliancy about "The Conspirators"; the
rollicking spirits of the hero, the man who tells the story, are
infectious, and his ardor in love is delightfully
romantic.--_Chicago Tribune._
LORRAINE. Illustrated. Cloth, $1 25.
"Lorraine" will appeal irresistibly to those who appreciate the
best type of adventure story, and is to be further commended for
its historical color and for the delicacy of its love element.
Of this novel _The Interior_ says: "A more absorbing story could
scarcely be imagined; there is no better tale among recent
publications than 'Lorraine.'"
