“As in _Madam Butterfly_ his subtle appreciation of love’s tender mystery
creates an exquisite thrill of ‘the heavenly longing—for the love—the
loved ones’ the one thing that through poverty and age can keep the door
open to joy.”—_New York Times._

=The Making of Christopher Ferringham=
“In brilliancy, exciting interest, and verisimilitude, _The Making
of Christopher Ferringham_ is one of the best of the semi-historical
novels of the day, and not unworthy of comparison with Maurice Hewlett’s
best.”—_Boston Advertiser._
=The Life, Treason, and Death of James Blount of Breckenhow=
“A novel that may fairly challenge comparison with the very best, telling
the story of treason and a love, of many good fights, a few mistakes, and
a good death at the last.”—_The Boston Transcript._
=The Fair Maid of Greystones=
“The plot of _The Fair Maid of Greystones_ is not unworthy of Weyman
at his best. This is strong praise, but it is deserved. From the
moment Jack Hetherington, the Cavalier volunteer, assumes the identity
of his blackguard cousin, and thus escapes certain death to face the
responsibility for his kinsman’s dark deeds, until the end, which
is sanely happy, the adventure never flags. This is one of the few
historical novels in whose favor an exception may well be made by those
who long since lost interest in the school.”—_New York Mail._
Mr. CHARLES MAJOR’S NOVELS
_Each, in decorated cloth binding, $1.50_
=Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall.= Illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy
“Dorothy is a splendid creation, a superb creature of brains, beauty,
force, capacity, and passion, a riot of energy, love, and red blood. She
is the fairest, fiercest, strongest, tenderest heroine that ever woke up
a jaded novel reader and made him realize that life will be worth living
so long as the writers of fiction create her like.… The story has brains,
‘go,’ virility, gumption, and originality.”—_The Boston Herald._
=A Forest Hearth.= A Romance of Indiana in the Thirties. Illustrated
“This work is a novel full of charm and action, picturing the life and
love of the fascinating indomitably adventurous men and women, boys and
girls, who developed Indiana. It is a vigorous, breezy, outdoor book,
with the especial intimate touch that is possible only when the subject
is one which has long lain close to its author’s heart.”—_Daily News._
=Yolanda, Maid of Burgundy= Illustrated
“Charles Major has done the best work of his life in Yolanda. The volume
is a genuine romance … and after the reviewer has become surfeited with
problem novels, it is like coming out into the sunlight to read the
fresh, sweet story of her love for Max.”—_The World To-day._
