_FROM DUSK TO DAWN._ By KATHARINE P. WOODS, author of “Metzerott,
Shoemaker.” 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
This book is an original one, like its predecessor, in that it follows
none of the beaten paths of fiction, and it raises questions of vital
interest, and addresses itself to the reader’s thought instead of
merely tickling his fancy. The influence of one human being over
another is a subject of curious analysis, as well as the relation
of the individual to the community, a subject, with its varied
amplifications, which is of the first moment to-day. There is a story,
a romance, which will interest novel-readers, but the book will hold
the attention of those for whom the average novel has little charm.
_GOD’S FOOL._ A Koopstad Story. By MAARTEN MAARTENS, author of
“Joost Avelingh.” 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
In the opinion of competent critics this new novel by Maarten Maartens
represents the finest development thus far of the author’s powers, and
its appearance in book form promises to cause what is termed in popular
parlance the “literary sensation” of the season. At least, there can be
no question regarding the high appreciation of Maarten Maartens’s work
by American and English readers.
“Maarten Maartens is a capital story-teller.”--_Pall Mall Gazette._
“Maarten Maartens is a man who, in addition to mere talent, has in him
a vein of genuine genius.”--_London Academy._
_CAPT’N DAVY’S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn._ By HALL CAINE, author of “The
Deemster,” “The Scape-Goat,” etc. 12mo. 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._
“Constructed with great ingenuity. The story is full of
delight.”--_Boston Advertiser._
“A rollicking story of Manx life, well told.... Mr. Caine has really
written no book superior in character-drawing and dramatic force to
this little comedy.”--_Boston Beacon._
_FOOTSTEPS OF FATE._ By LOUIS COUPERUS, author of “Eline Vere.”
Translated from the Dutch by Clara Bell. With an Introduction by
Edmund Gosse. Holland Fiction Series. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“It is a very remarkable book, and can not fail to make a profound
impression by its strength and originality.... Its interest is
intense, and the tragedy with which it closes is depicted with
remarkable grace and passion.”--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
“The dramatic development up to a tragical climax is in the manner of
a true artist.”--_Philadelphia Bulletin._
_THE FAITH DOCTOR._ By EDWARD EGGLESTON, author of “The Hoosier
Schoolmaster,” “The Circuit Rider,” etc., 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“One of _the_ novels of the decade.”--_Rochester Union and
Advertiser._
