=Flower o’ the Vine: Romantic Ballads and Sospiri di Roma.=—This
volume contains the poems in Mr. Sharp’s latest books of verse, now
entirely out of print. His collaboration with Blanche Willis Howard
in the novel “A Fellowe and His Wife,” has made his name familiar to
American readers. As one of the most popular of the younger English
poets, we anticipate an equal success in America for “Flower o’ the
Vine,” for which Mr. Thomas A. Janvier has prepared an Introduction.
Handsomely bound, uniform with Aldrich’s “Sisters’ Tragedy” and Cora
Fabbri’s “Lyrics.” Cloth, $1.50.
_Dan Beard._
=Moonblight and Three Feet of Romance.=—Octavo, 300 pages, fully
illustrated. This story we believe will take rank with “Looking
Backward.” It treats of some of the great social problems of the day
in a novel, powerful, and intensely interesting manner. The hero
becomes strangely endowed with the power of seeing people in their
true light. It is needless to say that this power proves both a
curse and a blessing, and leads to many and strange adventures. Mr.
Beard’s reputation as an artist is world-wide, and the numerous
illustrations he provides for this book powerfully portray the
spirit of the text. Cloth, ink and gold stamps, $2.00.
