BY A. CONAN DOYLE
THE REFUGEES. A Tale of Two Continents. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth,
Ornamental, $1 75.
A masterly work.... It is not every year, or even every decade, which
produces one historical novel of such quality.--_Spectator_, London.
THE WHITE COMPANY. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.
... Dr. Doyle´s stirring romance, the best historical fiction he has
done, and one of the best novels of its kind to-day.--_Hartford
Courant._
MICAH CLARKE. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75; also 8vo,
Paper, 45 cents.
A noticeable book, because it carries the reader out of the beaten
track; it makes him now and then hold his breath with excitement; it
presents a series of vivid pictures and paints two capital portraits;
and it leaves upon the mind the impression of well-rounded symmetry and
completeness.--R. E. PROTHERO, in _The Nineteenth Century_.
ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental,
$1 50.
MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1
50.
Few writers excel Conan Doyle in this class of literature. His style,
vigorous, terse, and thoughtful, united to a nice knowledge of the human
mind, makes every character a profoundly interesting psychological
study.--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
THE PARASITE. A Story. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
A strange, uncanny, weird story,... easily the best of its class. The
reader is carried away by it, and its climax is a work of literary
art.--_Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette._
THE GREAT SHADOW. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.
A powerful piece of story-telling. Mr. Doyle has the gift
of description, and he knows how to make fiction seem
reality.--_Independent_, N. Y.
