  THROCKMORTON. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. "The incidents are of great interest, well-imagined, and admirably carried out. But the notable feature of the book is the rare charm of its literary expression. The language is full of grace and wit and delicate sensibility. To read is to be beguiled."—New York Sun.

"The pages of 'Throckmorton' are alive with picturesque sketches. Its humor is never forced, and its pathos is never over-*done. It is a novel to linger over."—The Critic.

"A charming story. The author has used good English, and the reader yields to the fascination of her style."—The Book Buyer.

MAID MARIAN, and other Stories. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. "There is an unmistakable cleverness in this collection of short stories."—Boston Literary World.

"Miss Seawell has a brisk and prolific fancy, and a turn for the odd and fantastic, while she is Past Master in the use of negro dialect and the production of tales of plantation life and manners. All these stories are spirited, well marked by local color, and written with skill and ingenuity."—New York Tribune.
