Italian Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction
“Miss Dougall may be congratulated both on her choice of a subject
for her new book and on her remarkably able and interesting treatment
of it.... A fascinating story, which is even more remarkable and more
fascinating as a psychological study.”--_The Scotsman._
_THE MADONNA OF A DAY._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents.
“An entirely unique story. Alive with incident and related in a fresh
and captivating style.”--_Philadelphia Press._
“A novel that stands quite by itself, and that in theme as well as
in artistic merit should make a very strong appeal to the mind of a
sympathetic reader.”--_Boston Beacon._
_THE MERMAID._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.00; paper, 50 cents.
“The author of this novel has the gift of contrivance and the skill
to sustain the interest of a plot through all its development. ‘The
Mermaid’ is an odd and interesting story.”--_New York Times._
_THE ZEIT-GEIST._ 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
“One of the most remarkable novels.”--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
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 in 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._
