Miss Ayr of Virginia, & other stories
Magruder, Julia
Short stories, American; United States -- Social life and customs -- 19th century -- Fiction
A volume of connected sketches of country life in the South. It is
on the order of Miss Pool’s recent book entitled “In a Dike Shanty”
which received such favorable comment. It is not sensational; it
is not exciting; it is merely peaceful and pleasing, with a quiet
current of delightful humor running all through.
MARTIN J. PRITCHARD.
=WITHOUT SIN=; a novel. 12mo. $1.25. Second edition.
The NEW YORK JOURNAL gave a half-page review of the book and
proclaimed it “the most startling novel yet.”
“Abounds in situations of thrilling interest. A unique and daring
book.”--REVIEW OF REVIEWS (London).
“One is hardly likely to go far wrong in predicting that WITHOUT SIN
will attract abundant notice. Too much can scarcely be said in
praise of Mr. Pritchard’s treatment of his subject.”--ACADEMY
(London).
“The very ingenious way in which improbable incidents are made to
appear natural, the ingenious manner in which the story is sustained
to the end, the undoubted fascination of the writing, and the
convincing charm of the principal characters, are just what make
this novel so deeply dangerous while so intensely interesting.”--THE
WORLD (London).
