"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._
New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.
_THE ONE WHO LOOKED ON._ By F. F. MONTRÉSOR, author of "Into the Highways and Hedges." 16mo. Cloth, special binding, $1.25.
"The story runs on as smoothly as a brook through lowlands; it excites your interest at the beginning and keeps it to the end."--_New York Herald._
"An exquisite story.... No person sensitive to the influence of what makes for the true, the lovely, and the strong in human friendship and the real in life's work can read this book without being benefited by it."--_Buffalo Commercial._
"The book has universal interest and very unusual merit.... Aside from its subtle poetic charm, the book is a noble example of the power of keen observation."--_Boston Herald._
_CORRUPTION_. By PERCY WHITE, author of "Mr. Bailey-Martin," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"There is intrigue enough in it for those who love a story of the ordinary kind, and the political part is perhaps more attractive in its sparkle and variety of incident than the real thing itself."--_London Daily News._
"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.
"An extremely clever work. Miss Hunt probably writes dialogue better than any of our young novelists.... Not only are her conversations wonderfully vivacious and sustained, but she contrives to assign to each of her characters a distinct mode of speech, so that the reader easily identifies them, and can follow the conversations without the slightest difficulty."--_London Athenæum._
"One of the best writers of dialogue of our immediate day. The conversations in this book will enhance her already secure reputation."--_London Daily Chronicle._
"A creation that does Miss Hunt infinite credit, and places her in the front rank of the younger novelists.... Brilliantly drawn, quivering with life, adroit, quiet-witted, unfalteringly insolent, and withal strangely magnetic."--_London Standard._
