"The Last Lady of Mulberry" is the title of a fresh and charming novel, whose author, a new writer, Mr. Henry Wilton Thomas, has found an unexploited field in the Italian quarter of New York. Mr. Thomas is familiar with Italy as well as New York, and the local color of his vivacious pictures gives his story a peculiar zest. As a story pure and simple his novel is distinguished by originality in motive, by a succession of striking and dramatic scenes, and by an understanding of the motives of the characters, and a justness and sympathy in their presentation which imparts a constant glow of human interest to the tale. The author has a quaint and delightful humor which will be relished by every reader. While his story deals with actualities, it is neither depressing nor unpleasantly realistic, like many "stories of low life," and the reader gains a vivid impression of the sunnier aspects of life in the Italian quarter. The book contains a series of well-studied and effective illustrations by Mr. Emil Pollak. _BY THE AUTHOR OF "RED POTTAGE."_ =Diana Tempest.= A Novel.

APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK. DAVID HARUM. A Story of American Life. By Edward Noyes Westcott. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "David Harum deserves to be known by all good Americans; he is one of them in boundless energy, in large-heartedness, in shrewdness, and in humor."--_The Critic_, _New York_. "We have in the character of David Harum a perfectly clean and beautiful study, one of those true natures that every one, man, woman, or child, is the better for knowing."--_The World_, _Cleveland_. "The book continues to be talked of increasingly. It seems to grow in public favor, and this, after all, is the true test of merit."--_The Tribune_, _Chicago_. "A thoroughly interesting bit of fiction, with a well-defined plot, a slender but easily followed 'love' interest, some bold and finely sketched character drawing, and a perfect gold mine of shrewd, dialectic philosophy."--_The Call_, _San Francisco_. "The newsboys on the street can talk of 'David Harum,' but scarcely a week ago we heard an intelligent girl of fifteen, in a house which entertains the best of the daily papers and the weekly reviews, ask, 'Who is Kipling?'"--_The Literary World_, _Boston_.
