Miss Florence Marryat is well known to the readers of sentimental
novels. She has a bright and crisp way of presenting the frailties of
the human race, which makes her stories entertaining, even if they are
devoid of all good moral purpose. They open one's eyes to the
inconsistencies of life without wholly destroying his faith in his
fellow citizens.--_Boston Herald._

_=82. A Woman's Heart=_--By Mrs. Alexander
The name of this author is familiar to all lovers of fiction who will
need nothing more to assure them that they will not regret the time
spent in reading "A Woman's Heart." It is a refined and interesting
story, pleasant and easy reading, as is usual with all Mrs. Alexander's
works.

_=83. Syrlin=_--By Ouida
The announcement of a new novel by Ouida, sends a thrill of delight
through the countless host of faithful admirers of that petulant
priestess of mild improprieties. Her new books are just like her old
ones. There is the usual abundance of gilded vice and wilful wickedness
lugged in to give the book its wonted flavor.--_N. O. States._

=_84. The Rival Princess_=--By Justin McCarthy and Mrs. Campbell Praed
It is a romance of contemporary English politics wherein many well-known
public men appear under thin disguises. There is a Stuart princess with
lineal claims to the English throne, and there is an unmasked Mr.
Gladstone, who boldly urges the abolition of the House of
Lords.-_-Charleston Sunday Times._

_=85. Blindfold=_--By Florence Marryat
Is, in many respects, the best novel which has been given us by the
prolific pen of the well-known Englishwoman. The story is novel, well
told, and events follow upon each other quickly, never allowing the
interest to flag.--_Denver News._
