Philip Winwood: A Sketch of the Domestic History of an American Captain in the War of Independence; Embracing Events that Occurred between and during the Years 1763 and 1786, in New York and London: written by His Enemy in War, Herbert Russell, Lieutenant in the Loyalist Forces.

A powerful story of sociological questions. The scene is laid in
Chicago, the hero being a professor in "Rockland University," whose
protest against the unequal distribution of wealth and the wretched
condition of workmen gains for him the enmity of the "Savior Oil
Company," through whose influence he loses his position. His after
career as a leader of laborers who are fighting to obtain their rights
is described with great earnestness. The character drawing is vigorous
and varied, and the romantic plot holds the interest throughout. _The
Albany Journal_ is right in pronouncing this novel "an unusually
strong story." It can hardly fail to command an immense reading
public.
A Georgian Actress. By PAULINE BRADFORD MACKIE.
Author of "Mademoiselle de Berny," "Ye Lyttle Salem Maide," etc.
With four full-page illustrations from drawings by E.W.D. Hamilton.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 300 pages. $1.50
An interesting romance of the days of George III., dealing with the
life and adventures of a fair and talented young play-actress, the
scene of which is laid in England and America. The success of Miss
Mackie's previous books will justify our prediction that a new volume
will receive an instant welcome.
God--The King--My Brother. A ROMANCE. By MARY F. NIXON.
Author of "With a Pessimist in Spain," "A Harp of Many Chords," etc.
With a frontispiece by H.C. Edwards.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25
An historical tale, dealing with the romantic period of Edward the
Black Prince. The scene is laid for the most part in the sunny land of
Spain, during the reign of Pedro the Cruel--the ally in war of the
Black Prince. The well-told story records the adventures of two young
English knight-errants, twin brothers, whose family motto gives the
title to the book. The Spanish maid, the heroine of the romance, is a
delightful characterization, and the love story, with its surprising
yet logical denouement, is enthralling.
Punchinello. By FLORENCE STUART.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 325 pages. $1.50
A love story of intense power and pathos. The hero is a hunchback
(Punchinello), who wins the love of a beautiful young girl. Her sudden
death, due indirectly to his jealousy, and the discovery that she had
never faltered in her love for him, combine to unbalance his mind. The
poetic style relieves the sadness of the story, and the reader is
impressed with the power and brilliancy of its conception, as well as
with the beauty and grace of the execution.
The Golden Fleece. Translated from the French of Amedee Achard, author
of "The Huguenot's Love," etc.
Illustrated by Victor A. Searles.
Library 12mo, cloth decorative, illustrated, 450 pages. $1.50
