"A study in character.... Just as entertaining as though it were the conventional story of love and marriage. The clever hand of the author of 'The Green Carnation' is easily detected in the caustic wit and pointed epigram."--Jeannette L. Gilder, in the New York World. CORRUPTION. By Percy White, author of "Mr. Bailey-Martin," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A drama of biting intensity. A tragedy of inflexible purpose and relentless result."--Pall Mall Gazette. A HARD WOMAN. A Story in Scenes. By Violet Hunt. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A good story, bright, keen, and dramatic.... It is out of the ordinary, and will give you a new sensation."--New York Herald. New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. THE REDS OF THE MIDI. An Episode of the French Revolution. By Félix Gras. Translated from the Provençal by Mrs. Catharine A. Janvier. With an Introduction by Thomas A. Janvier. With Frontispiece. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "It is doubtful whether in the English language we have had a more powerful, impressive, artistic picture of the French Revolution, from the revolutionist's point of view, than that presented in Félix Gras's 'The Reds of the Midi.' ... Adventures follow one another rapidly; splendid, brilliant pictures are frequent, and the thread of a tender, beautiful love story winds in and out of its pages."--New York Mail and Express. "'The Reds of the Midi' is a red rose from Provence, a breath of pure air in the stifling atmosphere of present-day romance--a stirring narrative of one of the most picturesque events of the Revolution. It is told with all the strength of simplicity and directness; it is warm and pulsating, and fairly trembles with excitement."--Chicago Record. "To the names of Dickens, Hugo, and Erckmann-Chatrian must be added that of Félix Gras, as a romancer who has written a tale of the French Revolution not only possessing historical interest, but charming as a story. A delightful piece of literature, of a rare and exquisite flavor."--Buffalo Express. "No more forcible presentation of the wrongs which the poorer classes suffered in France at the end of the eighteenth century has ever been put between the covers of a book."--Boston Budget. "Every page is alive with incidents or scenes of the time, and any one who reads it will get a vivid picture that can never be forgotten of the Reign of Terror in Paris."--San Francisco Chronicle. "The author has a rare power of presenting vivid and lifelike pictures. He is a true artist.... His warm, glowing, Provençal imagination sees that tremendous battalion of death even as the no less warm and glowing imagination of Carlyle saw it."--London Daily Chronicle.
