A Romance of the Sea. By CYRUS TOWNSEND BRADY, author of "For the
Freedom of the Sea," "The Grip of Honor," etc. With Frontispiece. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.
"This story has a real beauty; it breathes of the sea. Fenimore
Cooper would not be ashamed to own a disciple in the school of
which he was master in these descriptions of the tug of war as it
was in the eighteenth century between battle-ships under
sail."--_New York Mail and Express._
Shipmates.
A Volume of Salt-Water Fiction. By MORGAN ROBERTSON, author of "Masters
of Men," etc. With Frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
When Mr. Robertson writes of the sea, the tang of the brine and the
snap of the sea-breeze are felt behind his words. The adventures
and mysteries of sea life, the humors and strange complications
possible in yachting, the inner tragedies of the foks'l, the
delightful adventures of Finnegan in war, and the original
developments in the course of true love at sea, are among the vivid
pictures that make up a volume so vital in its interests and
dramatic in its situations, so delightful in its quaint humor and
so vigorous and stirring throughout, that it will be read by sea
lovers for its full flavor of the sea, and by others as a
refreshing tonic.
The Man Who Knew Better.
By T. GALLON, author of "Tatterley," etc. Illustrated by Gordon Browne.
8vo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The best Christmas story that has appeared since the death of
Charles Dickens.... It is an admirably written story, and merits
warm welcome and broad recognition."--_Baltimore Sun._
Under the Skylights.
By HENRY B. FULLER, author of "The Chevalier of Pensieri-Vani," "The
Cliff Dwellers," etc. 12mo. Deckle edge, gilt top, $1.50.
The charming humor, delightful flavor, and refined quality of Mr.
Fuller's work impart a peculiar zest to this subtly satirical
picture of the extraordinary vicissitudes of arts and letters in a
Western metropolis.
The Apostles of the Southeast.
By FRANK T. BULLEN, author of "The Cruise of the Cachalot," "Idyls of
the Sea," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Bullen writes with a sympathy and pathetic touch rare indeed.
His characters are living ones, his scenes full of life and
realism, and there is not a page in the whole book which is not
brimful of deepest interest."--_Philadelphia Item._
The Alien.
By F. F. MONTRÉSOR, author of "Into the Highways and Hedges," etc. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.50.
"May be confidently commended to the most exacting reader as an
absorbing story, excellently told."--_Kansas City Star._
