_Boston Herald_:--“For the many who delight in following the intricacies of crime and the avenging hand of justice this book has rare charms.” _Detroit Journal_:--“For the blood-curdling mystery to be solved only by a prematurely acute young reporter who has Sherlock Holmes beaten to a stand-still, it would be hard to duplicate ‘The Mystery of the Yellow Room.’” _Pittsburg Dispatch_:--“The plot of this remarkable story is so intricately woven and so elaborately developed that the reader’s attention is positively enthralled from beginning to end.” _St. Paul News_:--“The author uses a young journalist as his hero. He has a mystery to solve, of course, but how he solves it is what readers of the ‘Yellow Room’ sit up nights and forget dinner hours to find out.” BRENTANO’S Fifth Avenue and Twenty-seventh Street, New York _A remarkable novel of London “Life.” One of the most striking pieces of fiction of modern days._ =ADAM’S CLAY= _By_ COSMO HAMILTON 12mo, Cloth, $1.50 _The New York Evening Post_:--“This is a book which presents a not ungrateful challenge to the critic whose lot it is to deal with the ‘ordinary run’ of English and American fiction. It is, at all events, not dull. Perhaps one may best suggest its quality by naming it a story not for the young person: it has precisely that Gallic attribute of intelligibility. By this we do not mean the absolute worst; it is not a sheer deliberate salacity, framed for the indecent amusement of those who leer and giggle.” _San Francisco Examiner_:--“A highly entertaining story.... It is one of those stories that once begun will not let itself be laid aside. The situations as they follow are dramatic, pathetic, and extremely well drawn.” _New York Sun_:--“The epigrammatic cynicism of the text is clever and startling, the delineation of characters skilful and undisturbed by any restrictions of propriety in its frankness. ‘Man is fire and woman tow; the devil comes and sets them in a blaze,’ is the proverb upon which the tale is founded.” BRENTANO’S Fifth Avenue and Twenty-seventh Street, New York =Lafcadio Hearn= Letters from the Raven Being the Correspondence of LAFCADIO HEARN _with_ HENRY WATKIN _Edited by_ MILTON BRONNER 12mo, Half Cloth, Gilt Top, $1.25 net
