“Dr. Holland will always find a congenial audience in the homes of culture and refinement. He does not affect the play of the darker and fiercer passions, but delights in the sweet images that cluster around the domestic hearth. He cherishes a strong fellow-feeling with the pure and tranquil life in the modest social circles of the American people, and has thus won his way to the companionship of many friendly hearts.”--_The New York Tribune._ _Thomas A. Janvier._ COLOR STUDIES. (12mo, $1.00.) “Piquant, novel, and ingenious, these little stories, with all their simplicity, have excited a wide interest. The best of them, ‘Jaune D’Antimoine,’ is a little wonder in its dramatic effect, its ingenious construction.”--_The Critic._ _Virginia W. Johnson._ THE FAINALLS OF TIPTON. (12mo, $1.25.) “The plot is good, and in its working-out original. Character drawing is Miss Johnson’s recognized _forte_, and her pen-sketches of the inventor, the checker-playing clergyman and druggist, the rising young doctor, the sentimental painter, the rival grocers, etc., are quite up to her best work.”--_The Boston Commonwealth._ _Lieut. J. D. J. Kelley._ A DESPERATE CHANCE. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.) “This novel is of the good old-fashioned, exciting kind. Though it is a sea story, all the action is not on board ship. There is a well-developed mystery, and while it is in no sense sensational, readers may be assured that they will not be tired out by analytical descriptions, nor will they find a dull page from first to last.”--_The Brooklyn Union._ _The King’s Men_: A TALE OF TO-MORROW. By Robert Grant. John Boyle O’Reilly. J. S., of Dale, and John T. Wheelwright. (12mo, $1.25.) _Andrew Lang._ THE MARK OF CAIN. (12mo, paper, 25 cts.; cloth, 75 cts.) “No one can deny that it is crammed as full of incident as it will hold, or that the elaborate plot is worked out with most ingenious perspicuity.”--_The Saturday Review._ _George P. Lathrop._ NEWPORT. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.25)--AN ECHO OF PASSION. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00)--IN THE DISTANCE. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.) “It is one of the charms of Mr. Lathrop’s style that it appeals to the imagination of the reader by a delicate suggestiveness, which lies like a fine atmosphere over the landscape of the story. His novels have the refinement of motive which characterize the analytical school, but his manner is far more direct and dramatic.”--_The Christian Union._ _Brander Matthews._ THE SECRET OF THE SEA, and Other Stories. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00)--THE LAST MEETING. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00)--IN PARTNERSHIP. With H. C. Bunner (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00).
