BOOKS BY GRAHAM TRAVERS.
_WINDYHAUGH._ A Novel. By GRAHAM TRAVERS, author of "Mona Maclean,
Medical Student," "Fellow Travellers," etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
"'Windyhaugh' shows an infinitely more mature skill and more subtle
humor than 'Mona Maclean' and a profounder insight into life. The
psychology of Dr. Todd's remarkable book is all of the right kind;
and there is not in English fiction a more careful and penetrating
analysis of the evolution of a woman's mind than is given in Wilhelmina
Galbraith; but 'Windyhaugh' is not a book in which there is only one
'star' and a crowd of 'supers.' Every character is limned with a
conscientious care that bespeaks the true artist, and the analytical
interest of the novel is rigorously kept in its proper place and is
only one element in a delightful story. It is a supremely interesting
and wholesome book, and in an age when excellence of technique has
reached a remarkable level, 'Windyhaugh' compels admiration for its
brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a large canvas, but she has a
true sense of proportion."--_Blackwood's Magazine._
"For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for
arrival at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such
a book as 'Windyhaugh' must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and
brilliancy. It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the
end and that it is a satisfaction to have read."--_Boston Journal._
"Its easy style, its natural characters, and its general tone
of earnestness assure its author a high rank among contemporary
novelists."--_Chicago Tribune._
"We can cordially eulogize the splendid vitality of the work, its
brilliancy, its pathos, its polished and crystalline style, and its
remarkable character-painting."--_New York Home Journal._
_MONA MACLEAN, Medical Student._ 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A high-bred comedy."--_New York Times._
"'Mona Maclean' is a bright, healthful, winning story."--_New York Mail
and Express._
"Mona is a very attractive person, and her story is decidedly well
told."--_San Francisco Argonaut._
"A pleasure in store for you if you have not read this volume. The
author has given us a thoroughly natural series of events, and drawn
her characters like an artist. It is the story of a woman's struggles
with her own soul. She is a woman of resource, a strong woman, and her
career is interesting from beginning to end."--_New York Herald._
_FELLOW TRAVELLERS._ 12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"The stories are well told; the literary style is above the average,
and the character drawing is to be particularly praised.... Altogether,
the little book is a model of its kind, and its reading will give
pleasure to people of taste."--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
"'Fellow Travellers' is a collection of very brightly written tales,
all dealing, as the title implies, with the mutual relations of people
thrown together casually while traveling."--_London Saturday Review._
