LOVE-LETTERS OF A WORLDLY WOMAN. By Mrs. W. K. CLIFFORD, Author of "Aunt Anne," "Mrs. Keith's Crime," etc. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 25. This volume contains three brilliant love-stories well worth reading.... The letters are original and audacious, and are full of a certain intellectual "abandon" which is sure to charm the cultivated reader.... We trust that Mrs. W. K. Clifford will give us more fiction in this delicately humorous, subtle, and analytic vein.--_Literary World_, Boston. Mrs. Clifford's literary style is excellent, and the love-letters always have their special interest.--_N.Y. Times._ There is abundant cleverness in it. The situations are presented with skill and force, and the letters are written with great dramatic propriety and much humor.--_St. James's Gazette_, London. In short analytical stories of this kind Mrs. Clifford has come to take a unique position in England. In the delicate, ingenious, forcible use of language, to express the results of an unusual range of observation, she stands to our literature as De Maupassant and Bourget stand to the literature of France.--_Black and White_, London. The study of character is so acute, the analysis of motives and conduct so skilful, and, withal, the wit and satire so keen, that the reader does not tire.--_Christian Intelligencer_, N.Y. * * * _Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York._ _The above work will be sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._ UNHAPPY LOVES OF MEN OF GENIUS. By THOMAS HITCHCOCK. With Twelve Portraits. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25. A fascinating book. So taking are its rapidly interchanging lights and shadows that one reads it from beginning to end without any thought of possible intrusion.--_Observer_, N.Y. The simple and perspicuous style in which Mr. Hitchcock tells these stories of unhappy loves is not less admirable than the learning and the extensive reading and investigation which have enabled him to gather the facts presented in a manner so engaging. His volume is an important contribution to literature, and it is of universal interest.--_N.Y. Sun._ The stories are concisely and sympathetically told, and the book presents in small compass what, in lieu of it, must be sought through many volumes.--_Dial_, Chicago. A very interesting little book.... The studies are carefully and aptly made, and add something to one's sense of personal acquaintanceship with those men and women who were before not strangers.--_Evangelist_, N.Y. * * * _Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York._
