“Mr. James’s writings are distinctively works of art. One and all
of them appeal most strongly to cultivated minds. In no instance does
he descend from his transcendent ideals of literature. An acquaintance
with Henry James means an appreciation of the finer style of written
English, and an inhalation of the atmosphere of purest English
literature. No list of books for the summer will be complete without
‘=Embarrassments=.’”--_Cambridge Press._
THE OTHER HOUSE.
12mo, cloth, $1.50.
“The characters are original and well drawn. The incidents are
natural and clearly described. The dialogues are crisp and to the
point. Neither of ‘padding’ nor a vulgar sensationalism is there
any trace. A most meritorious work, then, and one which can hardly fail
to add to the author’s reputation.”--_New York Herald._
“‘The Other House’ shows Henry James at his best. That best
is a putting into words of an exquisite comprehension of motives and
shades of thought, a magic grasp of character variations, a bringing
to the surface of hidden nerve fibres ever unsuspected yet tremendously
potent.”--_Chicago Daily News._
THE PRINCESS CASAMASSIMA.
12mo, $1.25.
We find no fault with Mr. Henry James’s “Princess Casamassima.”
It is a great novel; it is his greatest, and it is incomparably the
greatest novel of the year in our language.... From first to last we
find no weakness in the book; the drama works simply and naturally; the
causes and effects are logically related; the theme is made literature
without ceasing to be life.--_Harper’s New Monthly Magazine,
Editor’s Study._
THE REVERBERATOR.
12mo, $1.00.
The public will be glad to find Mr. James in his best vein. One is
thankful again that there is so brilliant an American author to give us
entertaining sketches of life.--_Boston Herald._
THE ASPERN PAPERS, AND OTHER STORIES.
12mo, $1.00.
The stories are told with that mastery of the art of story-telling
which their writer possesses in a conspicuous degree.--_Literary
World._
It is as a short story writer that we think Mr. James appears at his
best, and in this volume he may be read in his most attractive and most
artistic vein.--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._
Mr. Henry James is at his best in “The Aspern Papers.” ... For
careful finish, minute analysis, and vivid description of both the
scenes and the characters, “The Aspern Papers” may take high rank
among Mr. James’s stories.--_Guardian._
PARTIAL PORTRAITS.
12mo, $1.75.
Henry James has never appeared to better advantage as an author than
in this delightful volume of critical essays.... No one can fail to
acknowledge the exquisite charm of style which pervades the book,
and the kind appreciation the author evinces of the finer and subtler
qualities of the authors with whom he deals.--_Boston Saturday Evening
Gazette._
THE BOSTONIANS.
12mo, $1.25.
