VIZETELLY'S POPULAR FRENCH NOVELS.
TRANSLATIONS OF THE BEST EXAMPLES OF RECENT FRENCH FICTION OF AN
UNOBJECTIONABLE CHARACTER.
"_They are books that may be safely left lying about where the
ladies of the family can pick them up and read them. The interest
they create is happily not of the vicious sort at all._"
SHEFFIELD INDEPENDENT.
FROMONT THE YOUNGER & RISLER THE ELDER. By A. DAUDET.
"The series starts well with M. Alphonse Daudet's
masterpiece."--_Athenæum._
"A terrible story, powerful after a sledge-hammer fashion in some
parts, and wonderfully tender, touching, and pathetic in
others."--_Illustrated London News._
SAMUEL BROHL AND PARTNER. By V. CHERBULIEZ.
"M. Cherbuliez's novels are read by everybody and offend nobody.
They are excellent studies of character, well constructed, peopled
with interesting men and women, and the style in which they are
written is admirable."--_The Times._
"Those who have read this singular story in the original need not be
reminded of that supremely dramatic study of the man who lived two
lives at once, even within himself. The reader's discovery of his
double nature is one of the most cleverly managed of surprises, and
Samuel Brohl's final dissolution of partnership with himself is a
remarkable stroke of almost pathetic comedy."--_The Graphic._
THE DRAMA OF THE RUE DE LA PAIX. By A. BELOT.
"A highly ingenious plot is developed in 'The Drama of the Rue de la
Paix,' in which a decidedly interesting and thrilling narrative is
told with great force and passion, relieved by sprightliness and
tenderness."--_Illustrated London News._
MAUGARS JUNIOR. By A. THEURIET.
"One of the most charming novelettes we have read for a long
time."--_Literary World._
WAYWARD DOSIA, & THE GENEROUS DIPLOMATIST. By HENRY GRÉVILLE.
"As epigrammatic as anything Lord Beaconsfield has ever
written."--_Hampshire Telegraph._
A NEW LEASE OF LIFE, & SAVING A DAUGHTER'S DOWRY. By E. ABOUT.
"'A New Lease of Life' is an absorbing story, the interest of which
is kept up to the very end."--_Dublin Evening Mail._
"The story, as a flight of brilliant and eccentric imagination, is
unequalled in its peculiar way."--_The Graphic._
COLOMBA, & CARMEN. By P. MÉRIMÉE.
"The freshness and raciness of 'Colomba' is quite cheering after the
stereotyped three-volume novels with which our circulating libraries
are crammed."--_Halifax Times._
"'Carmen' will be welcomed by the lovers of the sprightly and
tuneful opera the heroine of which Minnie Hauk made so popular. It
is a bright and vivacious story."--_Life._
A WOMAN'S DIARY, & THE LITTLE COUNTESS. By O. FEUILLET.
