NUMA ROUMESTAN;
OR, JOY ABROAD AND GRIEF AT HOME.
BY ALPHONSE DAUDET.

"'Numa Roumestan' is a masterpiece; it is really a perfect work; it

whole."--MR. HENRY JAMES.
"'Numa Roumestan' is a triumph for the art of literary
seduction."--_Spectator._

COUNTESS SARAH.
BY GEORGES OHNET, AUTHOR OF "THE IRONMASTER."
TRANSLATED FROM THE 118TH FRENCH EDITION.
"The book contains some very powerful situations and first-rate
character-studies."--_Whitehall Review._
"The translation, which forms one of Vizetelly's capital series of
one-volume novels, is a vigorous and obviously faithful one, and to
an interesting plot must be added a number of strongly marked and
cleverly drawn characters."--_Society._
_THIRD EDITION._
A MUMMER'S WIFE.
BY GEORGE MOORE, AUTHOR OF "A MODERN LOVER."
"'A Mummer's Wife' is a striking book, clever, unpleasant,
realistic.... The woman's character is a very powerful study, and
the strolling player, if less original, is not less completely
presented.... No one who wishes to examine the subject of realism in
fiction with regard to English novels can afford to neglect 'A
Mummer's Wife.'"--_Athenæum._
"'A Mummer's Wife,' in virtue of its vividness of presentation and
real literary skill, may be regarded as in some degree a
representative example of the work of a literary school that has of
late years attracted to itself a good deal of the notoriety which is
a very useful substitute for fame."--_Spectator._
"Mr. Moore shows unquestionable power in telling Kate Lennox's
story, and the sketch of her second husband--big, frankly sensual,
yet good-natured--is probably as good as anything of the kind could
be."--_Academy._
