Virginia -- Fiction
“It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the
title should have fallen into such competent hands.”--_Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph._
“The author of ‘The Hoosier Schoolmaster’ has enhanced his
reputation by this beautiful and touching study of the character
of a girl to love whom proved a liberal education to both of her
admirers.”--_London Athenæum._
“‘The Faith Doctor’ is worth reading for its style, its wit, and its
humor, and not less, we may add, for its pathos.”--_London Spectator._
“Much skill is shown by the author in making these ‘fads’ the basis
of a novel of great interest.... One who tries to keep in the current
of good novel-reading must certainly find time to read ‘The Faith
Doctor.’”--_Buffalo Commercial._
_AN UTTER FAILURE._ By MIRIAM COLES HARRIS, author of “Rutledge.”
12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
“A story with an elaborate plot, worked out with great cleverness
and with the skill of an experienced artist in fiction. The interest
is strong and at times very dramatic.... Those who were attracted by
‘Rutledge’ will give hearty welcome to this story, and find it fully
as enjoyable as that once immensely popular novel.”--_Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette._
“In this new story the author has done some of the best work that
she has ever given to the public, and it will easily class among the
most meritorious and most original novels of the year.”--_Boston Home
Journal._
“The author of ‘Rutledge’ does not often send out a new volume, but
when she does it is always a literary event.... Her previous books
were sketchy and slight when compared with the finished and trained
power evidenced in ‘An Utter Failure.’”--_New Haven Palladium._
_A PURITAN PAGAN._ By JULIEN GORDON, author of “A Diplomat’s Diary,”
etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger grows stronger as she writes.... The lines
in her story are boldly and vigorously etched.”--_New York Times._
“The author’s recent books have made for her a secure place in current
literature, where she can stand fast.... Her latest production, ‘A
Puritan Pagan,’ is an eminently clever story, in the best sense of the
word clever.”--_Philadelphia Telegraph._
“It is obvious that the author is thoroughly at home in illustrating
the manner and the sentiment of the best society of both America and
Europe.”--_Chicago Times._
_ELINE VERE._ By LOUIS COUPERUS. Translated from the Dutch by J. T.
GREIN. With an Introduction by EDMUND GOSSE. Holland Fiction Series.
12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“Most careful in its details of description, most picturesque in its
coloring.”--_Boston Post._
“A vivacious and skillful performance, giving an evidently
faithful picture of society, and evincing the art of a true
story-teller.”--_Philadelphia Telegraph._
“The _dénoûment_ is tragical, thrilling, and picturesque.”--_New York
World._
