_THE FAITH DOCTOR_. By EDWARD EGGLESTON, author of "The Hoosier
Schoolmaster," "The Circuit Rider," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"An excellent piece of work.... With each new novel the author of 'The
Hoosier Schoolmaster' enlarges his audience, and surprises old friends
by reserve forces unsuspected. Sterling integrity of character and high
moral motives illuminate Dr. Eggleston's fiction, and assure its place
in the literature of America which is to stand as a worthy reflex of the
best thoughts of this age."--_New York World_.
"One of _the_ novels of the decade."--_Rochester Union and Advertiser_.
"It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the title
should have fallen into such competent hands."--_Pittsburgh
Chronicle-Telegraph_.
"Much skill is shown by the author in making these 'fads' the basis of a
novel of great interest.... One who tries to keep in the current of good
novel-reading must certainly find time to read 'The Faith
Doctor.'"--_Buffalo Commercial_.
"A vivid and life-like transcript from several phases of society. Devoid
of literary affectation and pretense, it is a wholesome American novel,
well worthy of the popularity which it has won."--_Philadelphia
Inquirer_.
_AN UTTER FAILURE_. By MIRIAM COLES HARRIS, author of "Rutledge." 12mo.
Cloth, $1.25.
"A story with an elaborate plot, worked out with great cleverness and
with the skill of an experienced artist in fiction. The interest is
strong and at times very dramatic.... Those who were attracted by
'Rutledge' will give hearty welcome to this story, and find it fully as
enjoyable as that once immensely popular novel."--_Boston Saturday
Evening Gazette_.
"The pathos of this tale is profound, the movement highly dramatic, the
moral elevating."--_New York World_.
"In this new story the author has done some of the best work that she
has ever given to the public, and it will easily class among the most
meritorious and most original novels of the year."--_Boston Home
Journal_.
"The author of 'Rutledge' does not often send out a new volume, but when
she does it is always a literary event.... Her previous books were
sketchy and slight when compared with the finished and trained power
evidenced in 'An Utter Failure.'"--_New Haven Palladium_.
_A PURITAN PAGAN_. By JULIEN GORDON, author of "A Diplomat's Diary,"
etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
"Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger grows stronger as she writes.... The lines
in her story are boldly and vigorously etched."--_New York Times_.
"The author's recent books have made for her a secure place in current
literature, where she can stand fast.... Her latest production, 'A
Puritan Pagan,' is an eminently clever story, in the best sense of the
word clever."--_Philadelphia Telegraph_.
"Has already made its mark as a popular story, and will have an
abundance of readers.... It contains some useful lessons that will repay
the thoughtful study of persons of both sexes."--_New York Journal of
Commerce_.
"This brilliant novel will, without doubt, add to the repute of the
writer who chooses to be known as Julien Gordon.... The ethical purpose
of the author is kept fully in evidence through a series of intensely
interesting situations."--_Boston Beacon_.
"It is obvious that the author is thoroughly at home in illustrating the
manner and the sentiment of the best society of both America and
Europe."--_Chicago Times_.
