Mr. Stephens has put into his new book, "Clementina's Highway man," the
finest qualities of plot, construction, and literary finish.
The story is laid in the mid-Georgian period. It is a dashing,
sparkling, vivacious comedy, with a heroine as lovely and changeable as
an April day, and a hero all ardor and daring.
The exquisite quality of Mr. Stephens's literary style clothes the story
in a rich but delicate word-fabric; and never before have his setting
and atmosphere been so perfect.

The stories in Mr. Roberts's new collection are the strongest and best
he has ever written.
He has largely taken for his subjects those animals rarely met with in
books, whose lives are spent "In the Silences," where they are the
supreme rulers. Mr. Roberts has written of them sympathetically, as
always, but with fine regard for the scientific truth.
"As a writer about animals, Mr. Roberts occupies an enviable place. He
is the most literary, as well as the most imaginative and vivid of all
the nature writers."--_Brooklyn Eagle_.
"His animal stories are marvels of sympathetic science and literary
exactness."--_New York World_.
