Thomas, Henry Wilton
Italian Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction
“Mr. Parker here adds to a reputation already wide, and anew
demonstrates his power of pictorial portrayal and of strong dramatic
situation and climax.”--_Philadelphia Bulletin._
=The Trespasser.= $1.25.
“Interest, pith, force, and charm--Mr. Parker’s new story possesses
all these qualities.... Almost bare of synthetical decoration, his
paragraphs are stirring because they are real. We read at times--as we
have read the great masters of romance--breathlessly.”--_The Critic._
=The Translation of a Savage.= $1.25.
“A book which no one will be satisfied to put down until the end has
been matter of certainty and assurance.”--_The Nation._
=Mrs. Falchion.= $1.25.
“A well-knit story, told in an exceedingly interesting way, and
holding the reader’s attention to the end.”
=The Pomp of the Lavilettes.= 16mo. Cloth, $1.25.
“Its sincerity and rugged force will commend it to those who love and
seek strong work in fiction.”--_The Critic._
BOOKS BY E. F. BENSON.
Mammon and Co.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
“Eminently readable.”--_London Athenæum._
“Entertaining and amusing.”--_London Academy._
“A novel of mark. Its character drawing is vigorous, its dialogue
vivacious.”--_Literature._
“Mr. Benson writes from intimate knowledge and the inside. He is a
part of the very society which he openly censures.... His novel stands
out as a strong bit of work in which he is very much at home. Its
brilliant sayings and clever epigrams give it a finish and polish
which are even more effective than the setting itself. What is more,
Mr. Benson sees with a great deal of heart the tragedy of human
experience and writes of it feelingly.”--_Boston Herald._
Dodo.
A Detail of the Day. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
“‘Dodo’ is a delightfully witty sketch of the ‘smart’ people of
society.... The writer is a true artist.”--_London Spectator._
The Rubicon.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
“The anticipations which must have been formed by all readers of
‘Dodo’ will in no wise be disappointed by ‘The Rubicon.’ The new
work is well written, stimulating, unconventional, and, in a word,
characteristic. Intellectual force is never absent, and the keen
observation and knowledge of character, of which there is abundant
evidence, are aided by real literary power.”--_Birmingham Post._
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._
