M. Imlay Taylor gives us a picturesque and interesting sketch of Moscow society during an eminently interesting period, and tells a capital story.--_The Scotsman_, Edinburgh.

C. McCLURG & CO., Publishers Chicago. A Yankee Volunteer By M. IMLAY TAYLOR 12mo. 383 pages. Price, $1.25 A painstaking chronicle of the principal incidents in the sanguinary struggle between Great Britain and her North American Colonies.... There is not a dull page in this excellent historical romance.--_Daily Telegraph_, London, Eng. It is a far cry from Russia to the United States, yet Mary Imlay Taylor, who has written some most interesting stories of intrigue and fighting at St. Petersburg, shows in her latest romance, “A Yankee Volunteer,” that she is quite as much at home in America as in the Czar’s country. Her new book has for historic background the events of the first half of the Revolutionary War, and it tells a love story which is charming and quite a part of the stern adventures that make a hero.--_Evening Bulletin_, Philadelphia. It is a good story--this of the Yankee rebel--“so gallant in love and so dauntless in war,” and of the sweet Royalist who at last became a “rebel” for love of him.--_Living Church_, Chicago. “A Yankee Volunteer” is indeed a story fraught with such exquisite beauty as is seldom associated with history.--_Boston Times._ The story is beautifully written, and moves with the dignity and quaintness inseparable from the successful historical novel.--_St. Paul Pioneer Press._ A fascinating picture of the royalist and patriot social elements of revolutionary days.--_Boston Globe._ _Sold by all booksellers, or mailed, on receipt of price, by_ A. C. McCLURG & CO., Publishers Chicago. THE BEVERLEYS. _A Story of Calcutta._ BY MARY ABBOTT, Author of “Alexia,” etc. 12mo. 264 pages. Price, $1.00 The uncommonly favorable reception of Mrs. Abbott’s brilliant novelette, “Alexia,” by the public bespeaks in advance a lively interest in her new novel, “The Beverleys.” It is a more extended and ambitious work than the former, but has the same grace of style and liveliness of treatment, together with a much more considerable plot and more subtle delineations of character and life. The action of the story takes place in India, and reveals on the part of the authoress the most intimate knowledge of the official life of the large and aristocratic English colony in Calcutta. The local coloring is strong and unusual.
