THE GRANDISSIMES. A Story of Creole Life. One vol., 12mo, $1.50.
"_The Grandissimes_ is a novel that repays study. It opens to
most of us an unknown society, an unknown world, absolutely fresh
characters, a dialect of which we had only fragments before, and
it illuminates a historical period that was in the dark.... It is
in many respects the most original contribution to American
fiction."--_Hartford Courant._
OLD CREOLE DAYS. One vol., 16mo, extra cloth, $1.00.
"These charming stories attract attention and commendation by
their quaint delicacy of style, their faithful delineation of
Creole character, and a marked originality. The careful rendering
of the dialect reveals patient study of living models; and to any
reader whose ear is accustomed to the broken English, as heard in
parts of our city every day, its truth to nature is
striking."--_New Orleans Picayune._
MADAME DELPHINE. One vol., square 12mo, cloth, 75 cents.
"This is one of the books in which the reader feels a kind of
personal interest and is sorry that he cannot continue the
acquaintance of their people after the volume is
closed."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
