"A sweet, tender, pure, and lovely story."--_Buffalo Commercial._
_THE ONE WHO LOOKED ON._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"A tale quite unusual, entirely unlike any other, full of a strange
power and realism, and touched with a fine humor."--_London World._
"One of the most remarkable and powerful of the year's
contributions, worthy to stand with Ian Maclaren's."--_British
Weekly._
"One of the rare books which can be read with great pleasure and
recommended without reservation. It is fresh, pure, sweet, and
pathetic, with a pathos which is perfectly wholesome."--_St. Paul
Globe._
"The story is an intensely human one, and it is delightfully
told.... The author shows a marvelous keenness in character
analysis, and a marked ingenuity in the development of her
story."--_Boston Advertiser._
_INTO THE HIGH WAYS AND HEDGES._ 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A touch of idealism, of nobility of thought and purpose, mingled
with an air of reality and well-chosen expression, are the most
notable features of a book that has not the ordinary defects of
such qualities. With all its elevation of utterance and
spirituality of outlook and insight it is wonderfully free from
overstrained or exaggerated matter, and it has glimpses of humor.
Most of the characters are vivid, yet there are restraint and
sobriety in their treatment, and almost all are carefully and
consistently evolved."--_London Athenæum._
"'Into the Highways and Hedges' is a book not of promise only, but
of high achievement. It is original, powerful, artistic, humorous.
It places the author at a bound in the rank of those artists to
whom we look for the skillful presentation of strong personal
impressions of life and character."--_London Daily News._
"The pure idealism of 'Into the Highways and Hedges' does much to
redeem modern fiction from the reproach it has brought upon
itself.... The story is original, and told with great
refinement."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"A better book than 'The Prisoner of Zenda.'"--_London Queen._
_THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO._ By ANTHONY HOPE, author of "The God
in the Car," "The Prisoner of Zenda," etc. With photogravure
Frontispiece by S. W. Van Schaick. Third edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"No adventures were ever better worth recounting than are those of
Antonio of Monte Velluto, a very Bayard among outlaws.... To all
those whose pulses still stir at the recital of deeds of high
courage, we may recommend this book.... The chronicle conveys the
emotion of heroic adventure, and is picturesquely
written."--_London Daily News._
