_THE MANXMAN._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A story of marvelous dramatic intensity, and in its ethical meaning has
a force comparable only to Hawthorne's 'Scarlet Letter.'"--_Boston
Beacon._
"A work of power which is another stone added to the foundation of
enduring fame to which Mr. Caine is yearly adding."--_Public Opinion._
"A wonderfully strong study of character; a powerful analysis of those
elements which go to make up the strength and weakness of a man, which
are at fierce warfare within the same breast; contending against each
other, as it were, the one to raise him to fame and power, the other to
drag him down to degradation and shame. Never in the whole range of
literature have we seen the struggle between these forces for supremacy
over the man more powerfully, more realistically delineated than Mr.
Caine pictures it."--_Boston Home Journal._
_THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of Man._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Hall Caine has already given us some very strong and fine work, and
'The Deemster' is a story of unusual power.... Certain passages and
chapters have an intensely dramatic grasp, and hold the fascinated
reader with a force rarely excited nowadays in literature."--_The
Critic._
"One of the strongest novels which has appeared in many a day."--_San
Francisco Chronicle._
"Fascinates the mind like the gathering and bursting of a
storm."--_Illustrated London News._
"Deserves to be ranked among the remarkable novels of the
day."--_Chicago Times._
_THE BONDMAN._ New edition. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The welcome given to this story has cheered and touched me, but I am
conscious that, to win a reception so warm, such a book must have had
readers who brought to it as much as they took away.... I have called my
story a saga, merely because it follows the epic method, and I must not
claim for it at any point the weighty responsibility of history, or
serious obligations to the world of fact. But it matters not to me what
Icelanders may call 'The Bondman,' if they will honor me by reading it
in the open-hearted spirit and with the free mind with which they are
content to read of Grettir and of his fights with the Troll."--_From the
Author's Preface._
_CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn._ 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth,
$1.00.
"A new departure by this author. Unlike his previous works, this little
tale is almost wholly humorous, with, however, a current of pathos
underneath. It is not always that an author can succeed equally well in
tragedy and in comedy, but it looks as though Mr. Hall Caine would be
one of the exceptions."--_London Literary World._
"It is pleasant to meet the author of 'The Deemster' in a brightly
humorous little story like this.... It shows the same observation of
Manx character, and much of the same artistic skill."--_Philadelphia
Times._
