“The characters of the story have a remarkable vividness and

individuality--every one of them--which mark at once Mr. Sullivan’s

strongest promise as a novelist. All of his men are excellent. John

Musgrove, the grimly pathetic old beau, sometimes reminds us of a

touch of Thackeray.”--_The Cincinnati Times-Star._

_John T. Wheelwright._

A CHILD OF THE CENTURY. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.)

“This is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable novels that has been

published for a long time. It is a story of to-day, of American life

and character; a typical story of political and social life, free from

cynicism or morbid realism, and brimming over with good-natured fun,

which is never vulgar.”--_The Christian at Work._
