The Last Lady of Mulberry: A Story of Italian New York
Thomas, Henry Wilton
Italian Americans -- New York (State) -- New York -- Fiction
“Dr. Doyle’s novel is crowded with an amazing amount of incident and
excitement.... He does not write history, but shows us the human side
of his great men, living and moving in an atmosphere charged with the
spirit of the hard-living, hard-fighting Anglo-Saxon.”--_New York
Critic._
_ROUND THE RED LAMP._
_Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life._
“A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern
literature.”--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
_THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS._
Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by STARK MUNRO, M. B., to
his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell,
Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884.
“Cullingworth, ... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock
Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him.”--_Richard le
Gallienne, in the London Star._
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
_THE STANDARD BEARER._ An Historical Romance.
“Mr. Crockett’s book is distinctly one of _the_ books of the year.
Five months of 1898 have passed without bringing to the reviewers’
desk anything to be compared with it in beauty of description,
convincing characterization, absorbing plot and humorous appeal. The
freshness and sweet sincerity of the tale are most invigorating,
and that the book will be very much read there is no possible
doubt.”--_Boston Budget._
“The book will move to tears, provoke to laughter, stir the blood, and
evoke heroisms of history, making the reading of it a delight and the
memory of it a stimulus and a joy.”--_New York Evangelist._
_LADS’ LOVE._ Illustrated.
“It seems to us that there is in this latest product much of the
realism of personal experience. However modified and disguised, it
is hardly possible to think that the writer’s personality does not
present itself in Saunders McQuhirr.... Rarely has the author drawn
more truly from life than in the cases of Nance and ‘the Hempie’;
never more typical Scotsman of the humble sort than the farmer Peter
Chrystie.”--_London Athenæum._
_CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._
Illustrated.
“A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If
there ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic
ragamuffin.”--_London Daily Chronicle._
“In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more
graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in ‘Cleg Kelly.’...
It is one of the great books.”--_Boston Daily Advertiser._
_BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT._ Third edition.
“Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that
thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They
are fragments of the author’s early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous,
too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught
and held palpitating in expression’s grasp.”--_Boston Courier._
