"A story of remarkable interest, originality, and ingenuity of
construction."--_Boston Home Journal._
"The perusal of this romance will repay those who care for new and
original types of character, and who are susceptible to the
fascination of a fresh and vigorous style."--_London Daily News._
New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
_CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His Progress and Adventures._ Uniform
with "The Lilac Sunbonnet" and "Bog-Myrtle and Peat." Illustrated.
12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If
there ever was an ideal character in action 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. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"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._ Sixth edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A love story pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned, wholesome,
sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a
heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other
love story half so sweet has been written this year, it has escaped
our notice."--_New York Times._
"The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the
growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is delineated
with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty,
which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among the best stories of the
time."--_New York Mail and Express._
"In its own line this little love story can hardly be excelled. It
is a pastoral, an idyl--the story of love and courtship and
marriage of a fine young man and a lovely girl--no more. But it is
told in so thoroughly delightful a manner, with such playful humor,
such delicate fancy, such true and sympathetic feeling, that
nothing more could be desired."--_Boston Traveller._
