Tobacco and Alcohol: I. It Does Pay to Smoke. II. The Coming Man Will Drink Wine.
Fiske, John
Smoking; Temperance
"One of the daintiest possible of volumes. The page is
exquisite, and the binding befits it. * * * The story is full of
humor, intermingled with strains of heroism and pathos, and
sustained all the while by a noble moral of duty to man and
trust in God. Of all the queer German tales which we have read,
this is one of the queerest."--_New Englander._
Mozart. A Biographical Novel.
From the German of HERIBERT RAU, by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL. Cloth,
gilt, $1.75; plain, $1.50; paper $1.00.
"A succession of beautiful pictures from the life of the
sensitive and impassioned artist.... The work has the charm of
actual adventure and incident, without the usual waxen formality
of the historical romance. The description of European social
life, especially the German domestic sketches, are brilliant and
often delightful. Mr. Sill has evidently engaged in the
translation not as a task, but as a labor of love, and has
admirably succeeded."--_N.Y. Tribune._
"A story full of insight and artistic sympathy--a beautiful
memorial and tribute to the life, the trials, the triumphs,
andthe memory of genius; and, besides all this, has the
charm of afascinating narrative and the value of a genuine
memoir."--_Boston Transcript._
"A book of rare and absorbing interest."--_Hours at Home._

"After opening the pretty volume of this story, we did what a
newspaper reviewer rarely finds time to do with a book to be
'noticed'--read it through without stopping, from title-page to
_finis_. * * * It is a book to be welcomed in any home."--_N.Y.
Times._
