Detective and mystery stories; Fiction; Love stories
"We have individually and unanimously given first place to the MSS.
entitled 'Beyond the Law.' It is a lively, unaffected, and interesting
story of good craftsmanship, showing imagination and insight, with both
vivid and dramatic qualities."
The scene is laid in Ireland and in France, the time is the William of
Orange period, and deals with the most cruel persecution against the
Catholics of Ireland.
The Way of an Eagle
By E. M. Dell
_Frontispiece in Color by John Cassel_
"_A born teller of stories. She certainly has the right stuff in
her._"--London Standard.
"In these days of overmuch involved plot and diction in the writing of
novels, a book like this brings a sense of refreshment, as much by the
virility and directness of its style as by the interest of the story it
tells.... The human interest of the book is absorbing. The descriptions
of life in India and England are delightful.... But it is the intense
humanity of the story--above all, that of its dominating character, Nick
Ratcliffe, that will win for it a swift appreciation."--_Boston
Transcript._
"Well written, wholesome, overflowing with sentiment, yet never mawkish.
Lovers of good adventure will enjoy its varied excitement, while the
frankly romantic will peruse its pages with joy."--_Chicago
Record-Herald._
Through the Postern Gate
A Romance in Seven Days. (Under the Mulberry Tree.)
_By_ Florence L. Barclay
Author of "The Rosary," "The Mistress of Shenstone," "The Following of
the Star."
"_A masterpiece._"--Phila. Ledger
"The well-known author of 'The Rosary' has not sought problems to solve
nor social conditions to arraign in her latest book, but has been
satisfied to tell a sweet and appealing love-story in a wholesome,
simple way.... There is nothing startling nor involved in the plot, and
yet there is just enough element of doubt in the story to stimulate
interest and curiosity. The book will warm the heart with its sweet and
straightforward story of life and love in a romantic setting."--_The
Literary Digest._
_Nearly One Million copies of Mrs. Barclay's popular stories have now
been printed._
