“Such an artist is the author of ‘Dorothy Fox,’ and we must thank her for a charming novel. The story is dramatically interesting, and the characters are drawn with a firm and graceful hand. The style is fresh and natural, vigorous without vulgarity, simple without mawkishness. Dorothy herself is represented as charming all hearts, and she will charm all readers.... We wish ‘Dorothy Fox’ many editions.”—London Times.

“Few recently published novels have received more general perusal and approval than ‘Only a Girl;’ and ‘Why Did He Not Die?’ possesses in at least an equal degree all the elements of popularity.

MUST IT BE?

A Romance. From the German of Carl Detlef. By MS., translator of “By His Own Might” and “A Twofold Life.” Illustrated. 8vo. Paper cover, 75 cents. Fine cloth, $1.25.

“The scene is laid in Russia, and the story is told with great vigor and picturesqueness of style. It has some charming domestic scenes, in addition to a number of intensely dramatic situations. The plot is exceedingly well managed, and the descriptions of Russian character, manners, and scenery are particularly happy. Its striking independence of treatment and its utter freedom from conventionality will prove not the least of its recommendations.”—Boston Globe.

“It is the best Indian story, because the truest to life, that we have lately seen.”—Boston Post.
