"Throughout there is an epigrammatic force which would make palatable a less interesting story of human lives or one less deftly told."--_London Saturday Review._ "Perfectly easy, graceful, humorous.... The author's skill in character-drawing is undeniable."--_London Chronicle._ "A remarkable work."--_New York Times._ "Maarten Maartens has secured a firm footing in the eddies of current literature.... Pathos deepens into tragedy in the thrilling story of 'God's Fool.'"--_Philadelphia Ledger._ "Its preface alone stamps the author as one of the leading English novelists of to-day."--_Boston Daily Advertiser._ "The story is wonderfully brilliant.... The interest never lags; the style is realistic and intense; and there is a constantly underlying current of subtle humor.... It is, in short, a book which no student of modern literature should fail to read."--_Boston Times._ "A story of remarkable interest and point."--_New York Observer._ _JOOST AVELINGH._ By MAARTEN MAARTENS. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "So unmistakably good as to induce the hope that an acquaintance with the Dutch literature of fiction may soon become more general among us."--_London Morning Post._ "In scarcely any of the sensational novels of the day will the reader find more nature or more human nature."--_London Standard._ "A novel of a very high type. At once strongly realistic and powerfully idealistic."--_London Literary World._ "Full of local color and rich in quaint phraseology and suggestion."--_London Telegraph._ "Maarten Maartens is a capital story-teller."--_Pall Mall Gazette._ "Our English writers of fiction will have to look to their laurels."--_Birmingham Daily Post._ _A JOURNEY IN OTHER WORLDS. A Romance of the Future._ By JOHN JACOB ASTOR. With 9 full-page Illustrations by Dan Beard. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "An interesting and cleverly devised book.... No lack of imagination.... Shows a skillful and wide acquaintance with scientific facts."--_New York Herald._ "The author speculates cleverly and daringly on the scientific advance of the earth, and he revels in the physical luxuriance of Jupiter; but he also lets his imagination travel through spiritual realms, and evidently delights in mystic speculation quite as much as in scientific investigation. If he is a follower of Jules Verne, he has not forgotten also to study the philosophers."--_New York Tribune._ "A beautiful example of typographical art and the bookmaker's skill.... To appreciate the story one must read it."--_New York Commercial Advertiser._
