4 Harold Frederic.

SETH'S BROTHER'S WIFE. (12mo, $1.25.)

"A novel that stands out in clear relief against the fiction of the time. It is made of tangible stuff, is serious without being heavy, brisk and interesting without being flippant; takes hold of real life with an easy yet firm and confident grasp that denotes judicial habits of thought as well as a comfortable mastery of the literary medium."—The Brooklyn Times.

Robert Grant.

FACE TO FACE. (12mo, paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.25.)

"This is a well-told story, the interest of which turns upon a game of cross purposes between an accomplished English girl, posing as a free and easy American Daisy Miller, and an American gentleman, somewhat given to aping the manners of the English."—The Buffalo Express.

Edward Everett Hale.

PHILIP NOLAN'S FRIENDS. Illustrated (12mo, $1.75).

"There is no question, we think, that this is Mr. Hale's completest and best novel. The characters are for the most part well drawn, and several of them are admirable."—The Atlantic Monthly.

Marion Harland.

JUDITH: A Chronicle of Old Virginia. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00)—HANDICAPPED (12mo, $1.50).

"Fiction has afforded no more charming glimpses of old Virginia life than are found in this delightful story, with its quaint pictures, its admirably drawn characters, its wit, and its frankness."—The Brooklyn Daily Times.

Joel Chandler Harris.

FREE JOE, and Other Georgian Sketches. (12mo, $1.00.)

"The author's skill as a story writer has never been more felicitously illustrated than in this volume. The title story is meagre almost to baldness in incident, but its quaint humor, its simple but broadly outlined characters, and, above all, its touching pathos, combine to make it a masterpiece of its kind."—The New York Sun.

Augustus Allen Hayes.

THE JESUIT'S RING. A Romance of Mount Desert (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00).

"The conception of the story is excellent. It indicates a scholarly research, a sensitiveness to artistic literary effect, and a fine power of selection in material."—The Boston Traveller.
