_THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of
Man._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Hall Caine has already given us some very strong and fine work,
and 'The Deemster' is a story of unusual power.... Certain
passages and chapters have an intensely dramatic grasp, and hold
the fascinated reader with a force rarely excited nowadays in
literature."--_The Critic._
"One of the strongest novels which has appeared for many a
day."--_San Francisco Chronicle._
"Fascinates the mind like the gathering and bursting of a
storm."--_Illustrated London News._
"Deserves to be ranked among the remarkable novels of the
day."--_Chicago Times._
"Remarkably powerful, and is undoubtedly one of the strongest
works of fiction of our time. Its conception and execution are
both very fine."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
_CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx
Yarn._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.
"A new departure by this author. Unlike his previous works, this
little tale is almost wholly humorous, with, however, a current
of pathos underneath. It is not always that an author can
succeed equally well in tragedy and in comedy, but it looks as
though Mr. Hall Caine would be one of the exceptions."--_London
Literary World._
"It is pleasant to meet the author of 'The Deemster' in a
brightly humorous little story like this.... It shows the same
observation of Manx character, and much of the same artistic
skill."--_Philadelphia Times._
