=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._
