This is, perhaps, the best story which Miss Murfree has
published.... Though Miss Murfree's pen has described the
wonderful mountain scenery over and over again in her previous
volumes, yet here are found new, fresh touches that are
charmingly beautiful, strange, and weird.--_Zion's Herald_,
Boston.

His tales, all of them, are pre-eminently meritorious. They are
remarkable for their careful elaboration, the conscientious
finish of their workmanship, their affluence of striking
dramatic and narrative incident, their close observation and

picturesque description, and their quiet and sustained
humor.--_Christian Intelligencer_, N. Y.

$1 75; Three-quarter Calf, $3 50; Three-quarter Crushed Levant, $4 50.
Certainly, if it were not for its predecessor, we should assign
to "Trilby" a place in fiction absolutely companionless.... It
is one of the most unconventional and charming of
novels.--_Saturday Review_, London.
It is a charming story told with exquisite grace and
tenderness.--_N. Y. Tribune_.
