The Truth about Tristem Varick. By EDGAR SALTUS.
"Our admiration for the perfection of its style, the brilliancy
of its expressions, and the exquisite art with which the story
has been handled, is unbounded."--_Lippincott's Magazine._
"The plot is admirable, style exquisite; as a piece of art the
style demands unstinted commendation."--_St. John's (N. B.)
Progress._
"A very surprising but fascinating love-story."--_Amsterdam
Democrat._
Eden. By EDGAR SALTUS.
"Mr. Saltus is an artist; his brilliant epigrammatic touch is
as rare as it is exquisite; and to find fault with such a novel
as 'Eden' because it is not Bunyan's 'Pilgrim Progress,' is
absurd."--_Boston Traveller._
"'Eden' is the best he has ever written. It Is a capital story,
told in scholarly and clever English, and any one who begins to
read it will not want to lay it aside until the end is
reached."--_Baltimore American._
A Transaction in Hearts. By EDGAR SALTUS.
Saltus' latest novel, and in some respects his best. In the
character of Christopher Gonfallon the author aims a terrible
blow at the hypocrisy of those who, setting themselves up as
examples and leaders of men, fall before the temptations of the
beast in their own natures. The recreant minister, the evil
enigma, Claire, and the pure, sweet wife, make a trinity of
characters rarely found in modern fiction.
The Philosophy of Disenchantment. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A philosophical work which entitles the author to a first place
in the ranks of modern thinkers. Even those who disagree with
his conclusions cannot deny him a vigorous and pointed logic,
keen insight, and powerful reasoning.
The Anatomy of Negation. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A work of superlative excellence and worth.
Divided Lives. By EDGAR FAWCETT.
"A spirited story; the interest is well sustained throughout,
and the characters are firmly and clearly drawn."--_N. Y.
Tribune._
"The book is written in very choice English, and the style is
flowing and harmonious."--_N. Y. Truth._
"A thoroughgoing society novel, whose style moves like a
waltz."--_Richmond States._
Miriam Ballestier. By EDGAR FAWCETT.
"A pathetic and absorbing story of thrilling
interest."--_Syracuse Herald._
"The last chapter, in particular, is one of the most beautiful
things in American literature; the picture of Miriam going out
into the night on her mission of sublime self-sacrifice
deserves to live forever in the memory."--_Chicago Herald._
Monte Rosa, the Epic of an Alp. By STARR HOYT NICHOLS.
