By the Author of "The Last of the Cavaliers."
_12mo, Cloth_, $1.50.
"If you want a good, new 'society novel,' rather carefully written, and
full of passion and incident, but cleanly and decent from cover to
cover, try THE GAIN OF A LOSS."--_Hartford Post_.
"Written with spirit and skill, adequate to interest, without fatiguing
the reader, and containing many traits of more than ordinary
attraction."--_Boston Transcript_.
"A capital story. Written, we should say, by a lady, and told most
charmingly. Its atmosphere is healthy--its creatures men and women like
ourselves--its scenes natural--its ending just what might have been
expected. It is really pleasant in the multitude of tame novels that
have been of late inflicted upon the reading community, to pick up a
book that so sparkles with vigorous life and natural sentiment."--_Troy
Times_.
"A novel of decided merit.... Will be read for the mere interest of the
story, while the excellent plot is sustained by an undercurrent of
thought and reflection that gives it a higher value."--_New York
Leader_.
"Told in a manner which would not be discreditable to Anthony Trollope
himself, and in fact, is very much in his vein,"--_Hartford Courant_.

THE FISHER MAIDEN.
By BJOeRNSTJERN BJOeRNSON.
_16mo, Cloth_, $1.25.
"An artist, not a photographer."--_Athenaeum_.
* * * "There was room for a true genius, one with poetic insight and
thorough faith in the simple element at his command, and surely such a
man has recently arisen in Bjoernson The exquisite emotions,
apprehension of beautiful truths combined with musical sympathies,
constitutes sometimes a faculty in itself, and yields to mankind a
lyrist like Tennyson, and an idyllic thinker like Bjoernson."--_London
Spectator_.
"One of Bjoernson's best stories. The character of the heroine is
poetically delineated, and through her life he teaches the great
thought that the genius of an individual should determine his
destiny. The arguments in defence of his theory are spirited and are
just."--_New York Leader_.
"The workmanship is singularly fine, like some of that in Flemish
interiors and Moorish jewelry. There are few characters, but each is a
study, and the tale is both a story and an argument."--_N. Am. and U.
S. Gazette_.
"A story drawn from nature with the pen of a master."--_Boston
Traveller_.
"A gem--an incident in the literary history of the world."--_Troy
Times_.
