“Rarely does one find such a charming combination of wit and tenderness, of brilliancy, and reverence for the things that matter.... It is bright without being flippant, tender without being mawkish, and as joyous and as wholesome as sunshine. The characters are closely studied and clearly limned, and they are created by one who knows human nature.... It would be hard to find its superior for all-around excellence.... No one who reads it will regret it or forget it.”--_Chicago Tribune._ “For brilliant conversations, epigrammatic bits of philosophy, keenness of wit, and full insight into human nature, ‘Concerning Isabel Carnaby’ is a remarkable success.”--_Boston Transcript._ “An excellent novel, clever and witty enough to be very amusing, and serious enough to provide much food for thought.”--_London Daily Telegraph._ TWO SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN NOVELS. _LATITUDE 19°._ A Romance of the West Indies in the Year of our Lord 1820. Being a faithful account and true, of the painful adventures of the Skipper, the Bo’s’n, the Smith, the Mate, and Cynthia. By Mrs. SCHUYLER CROWNINSHIELD. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. “‘Latitude 19°’ is a novel of incident, of the open air, of the sea, the shore, the mountain eyrie, and of breathing, living entities, who deal with Nature at first hand.... The adventures described are peculiarly novel and interesting.... Packed with incidents, infused with humor and wit, and faithful to the types introduced, this book will surely appeal to the large audience already won, and beget new friends among those who believe in fiction that is healthy without being maudlin, and is strong without losing the truth.”--_New York Herald._ “A story filled with rapid and exciting action from the first page to the last. A fecundity of invention that never lags, and a judiciously used vein of humor.”--_The Critic._ “A volume of deep, undeniable charm. A unique book from a fresh, sure, vigorous pen.”--_Boston Journal._ “Adventurous and romantic enough to satisfy the most exacting reader.... Abounds in situations which make the blood run cold, and yet, full of surprises as it is, one is continually amazed by the plausibility of the main incidents of the narrative.... A very successful effort to portray the sort of adventures that might have taken place in the West Indies seventy-five or eighty years ago.... Very entertaining with its dry humor.”--_Boston Herald._ _A HERALD OF THE WEST._ An American Story of 1811-1815. By J. A. ALTSHELER, author of “A Soldier of Manhattan” and “The Sun of Saratoga.” 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
