The Truth about Tristem Varick. By EDGAR SALTUS.
"Our admiration for the perfection of its style, the brilliancy
of its expressions, and the exquisite art with which the story
has been handled, is unbounded."--_Lippincott's Magazine._
"The plot is admirable, style exquisite; as a piece of art the
style demands unstinted commendation."--_St. John's (N. B.)
Progress._
"A very surprising but fascinating love-story."--_Amsterdam
Democrat._
Eden. By EDGAR SALTUS.
"Mr. Saltus is an artist; his brilliant epigrammatic touch is
as rare as it is exquisite; and to find fault with such a novel
as 'Eden' because it is not Bunyan's 'Pilgrim Progress,' is
absurd."--_Boston Traveller._
"'Eden' is the best he has ever written. It Is a capital story,
told in scholarly and clever English, and any one who begins to
read it will not want to lay it aside until the end is
reached."--_Baltimore American._
A Transaction in Hearts. By EDGAR SALTUS.
Saltus' latest novel, and in some respects his best. In the
character of Christopher Gonfallon the author aims a terrible
blow at the hypocrisy of those who, setting themselves up as
examples and leaders of men, fall before the temptations of the
beast in their own natures. The recreant minister, the evil
enigma, Claire, and the pure, sweet wife, make a trinity of
characters rarely found in modern fiction.
The Philosophy of Disenchantment. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A philosophical work which entitles the author to a first place
in the ranks of modern thinkers. Even those who disagree with
his conclusions cannot deny him a vigorous and pointed logic,
keen insight, and powerful reasoning.
The Anatomy of Negation. By EDGAR SALTUS.
A work of superlative excellence and worth.

and the characters are firmly and clearly drawn."--_N. Y.
Tribune._
"The book is written in very choice English, and the style is
flowing and harmonious."--_N. Y. Truth._
"A thoroughgoing society novel, whose style moves like a
waltz."--_Richmond States._
Miriam Ballestier. By EDGAR FAWCETT.
"A pathetic and absorbing story of thrilling
interest."--_Syracuse Herald._
"The last chapter, in particular, is one of the most beautiful
things in American literature; the picture of Miriam going out
into the night on her mission of sublime self-sacrifice
deserves to live forever in the memory."--_Chicago Herald._
Monte Rosa, the Epic of an Alp. By STARR HOYT NICHOLS.
"It is an account in poetic form of an Alpine mountain,
beginning with its birth, describing its form, appearance,
grandeur, its relations to man physically and metaphysically,
and ending with the probable ending of the mountain. It is one
of the most successful of recent attempts to wed science and
poetry."--_Albany Journal._
Memories of the Men who Saved the Union. By DONN PIATT.
"Piatt's sketches of the great coterie of men mentioned are of
absorbing interest, and no one who takes up the book will lay
it down without obtaining new ideas of the character and
motives of those so high in place during the
rebellion"--_Quincy Whig._
"They are the interesting recollections of one who was
personally acquainted with the illustrious men of whom he has
written, and who had, as well officially as socially,
opportunities of studying the character of each, of which he
has availed himself in writing one of the ablest books we have
had the pleasure to welcome from America."--_Westminster
Review._
The Lone Grave of the Shenandoah. By DONN PIATT.
"Eminently original, they are delightful to read. So
extraordinary a compound of poetry and practicality as our
author, if sought through the world, could not probably be
found."--_Washington Post._
"They are sketches, quaint, delicate, humorous, fanciful,
examples of the art of short story-writing in its
perfection."--_Chicago News._
The Protective Tariff: What it Does for Us. By HERMAN LIEB.
"It is clear in style and argument, taking strong ground for
the immediate reduction of war taxes and the putting of the
nation on a peace footing as regards the necessities of life
for the common people."--_Michigan Courier._
Life of Emperor William I., the Founder of the German Empire. By HERMAN
LIEB.
"General Lieb has done historical literature a great service in
giving it a life of one of the greatest rulers of the
nineteenth century. It is printed on good paper, in clear type,
and profusely illustrated. An edition is also issued in the
German language for those who want the history of their
fatherland in their own tongue."--_New London Telegram._
Henry Ward Beecher, Christian Philosopher, Pulpit Orator, Patriot, and
Philanthropist. Illustrated with a biographical sketch by THOS. W.
HANDFORD.
"As a pulpit orator he was during life the peer of any living,
and his utterances will go on converting men, and fitting them
for earth and heaven. As a patriot, loving his country, and
willing to make any sacrifice for its sustenance and
upbuilding, he was at all times conspicuous."--_Chicago
Inter-Ocean._
"It is much for a man worthy of a biography that he should fall
into the hands of a congenial spirit, and that the biography
should be a labor of love."--_Chicago Herald._
