D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
LADS' LOVE. Illustrated.
In this fresh and charming story, which in some respects recalls "The
Lilac Sunbonnet," Mr. Crockett returns to Galloway and pictures the
humor and pathos of the life which he knows so well.
CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures.
Illustrated.
"A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If there
ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic
ragamuffin."--London Daily Chronicle.
"In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more
graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ... It
is one of the great books."--Boston Daily Advertiser.
"One of the most successful of Mr. Crockett's works."--Brooklyn Eagle.
BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT. Third edition.
"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that
thrill and burn.... Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are
fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too
full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and
held palpitating in expression's grasp."--Boston Courier.
"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the
reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable
portrayal of character."--Boston Home Journal.
"One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the
writer's charm of manner."--Minneapolis Tribune.
THE LILAC SUNBONNET. Eighth edition.
