NOVELS BY HALL CAINE.
THE MANXMAN.
By Hall Caine. 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 Manxman' is one of the most notable novels of the year, and is unquestionably destined to perpetuate the fame of Hall Caine for many a year to come."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
"The author exhibits a mastery of the elemental passions of life that places hum high among the foremost of present writers of fiction."—Philadelphia Inquirer.
THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of Man.
By Hall Caine. 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 for 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.
"Remarkably powerful, and is undoubtedly one of the strongest works of fiction of our time. Its conception and execution are both very fine."—Philadelphia Inquirer.
CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn.
By Hall Caine. 12mo. Paper, 50 cts.; 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.
New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue.
NOVELS BY MAARTEN MAARTENS.
THE GREATER GLORY. A Story of High Life.
By Maarten Maartens, author of "God's Fool," "Joost Avelingh," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Until the Appletons discovered the merits of Maarten Maartens, the foremost of Dutch novelists, it is doubtful if many American readers knew that there were Dutch novelists. His 'God's Fool' and 'Joost Avelingh' made for him an American reputation. To our mind this just published work of his is his best.... He is a master of epigram, an artist in description, a prophet in insight."—Boston Advertiser.
"It would take several columns to give any adequate idea of the superb way in which the Dutch novelist has developed his theme and wrought out one of the most impressive stories of the period.... It belongs to the small class of novels which one can not afford to neglect."—San Francisco Chronicle.
"Maarten Maartens stands head and shoulders above the average novelist of the day in intellectual subtlety and imaginative power."—Boston Beacon.
GOD'S FOOL.
By Maarten Maartens. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"Throughout there is an epigrammatic force which would make palatable a less interesting story of human lives or one less deftly told."—London Saturday Review. "Perfectly easy, graceful, humorous.... The author's skill in character-drawing is undeniable."—London Chronicle.
"A remarkable work."—New York Times.
"Maarten Maartens has secured a firm footing in the eddies of current literature.... Pathos deepens into tragedy in the thrilling story of 'God's Fool.'"—Philadelphia Ledger.
"Its preface alone stamps the author as one of the leading English novelists of to-day."—Boston Daily Advertiser.
"The story is wonderfully brilliant.... The interest never lags; the style is realistic and intense; and there is a constantly underlying current of subtle humor.... It is, in short, a book which no student of modern literature should fail to read."—Boston Times.
"A story of remarkable interest and point."—New York Observer.
JOOST AVELINGH.
By Maarten Maartens. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"So unmistakably good as to induce the hope that an acquaintance with the Dutch literature of fiction may soon became more general among us."—London Morning Post.
"In scarcely any of the sensational novels of the day will the reader find more mature or more human nature."—London Standard.
"A novel of a very high type. At once strongly realistic and powerfully idealistic."—London Literary World.
"Full of local color and rich in quaint phraseology and suggestion."—London Telegraph.
"Maarten Maartens is a capital story-teller."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"Our English writers of fiction will have to look to their laurels."—Birmingham Daily Post.
New York: D. APPLETON & CO. 72 Fifth Avenue.
ROUND THE RED LAMP.
By A. Conan Doyle, author of "The White Company," "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "The Refugees," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The "Red Lamp," the trade-mark, as it were, of the English country practitioner's office, is the central point of these dramatic stories of professional life. There are no secrets for the surgeon, and, a surgeon himself as well as a novelist, the author has made a most artistic use of the motives and springs of action revealed to him in a field of which he is the master.
"A volume of bright, clever sketches, ... an array of facts and fancies of medical life, and contains some of the gifted author's best work."—London Daily News.
A FLASH OF SUMMER.
By Mrs. W. K. Clifford, author of "Love Letters of a Worldly Woman," "Aunt Anne," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The story is well written and interesting, the style is limpid and pure as fresh water, and is so artistically done that it is only a second thought that notices it."—San Francisco Call.
THE LILAC SUNBONNET. A Love Story.
By S. R. Crockett, author of "The Stickit Minister," "The Raiders," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A love story pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned, wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year it has escaped us."—New York Times.
MAELCHO.
By the Hon. Emily Lawless, author of "Grania," "Hurrish," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"A paradox of literary genius. It is not a history, and yet has more of the stuff of history in it, more of the true national character and fate, than any historical monograph we know. It is not a novel, and yet fascinates us more than any novel."—London Spectator.
THE LAND OF THE SUN. Vistas Mexicanas.
By Christian Reid, author of "The Land of the Sky," "A Comedy of Elopement," etc. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75.
In this picturesque travel romance the author of "The Land of the Sky" takes her characters from New Orleans to fascinating Mexican cities like Guanajuato, Zacarecas, Aguas Calientes, Guadalajara, and of course the City of Mexico. What they see and what they do are described in a vivacious style which renders the book most valuable to those who wish an interesting Mexican travel-book unencumbered with details, while the story as a story sustains the high reputation of this talented author.
New York: D. APPLETON & CO. 72 Fifth Avenue.
Books by Mrs. Everard Cotes (Sara Jeannette Duncan).
VERNON'S AUNT.
With many Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
"Her characters, even when broadly absurd, are always consistent with themselves, and the stream of fun flows naturally on, hardly ever flagging or forced."—London Athenæum.
A DAUGHTER OF TO-DAY.
A Novel, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The book is well worth the attention it demands, and if the conviction at last slowly dawns upon the reader that it contains a purpose, it is one which has been produced by the inevitable law of reaction, and is cleverly manipulated."—London Athenæum.
"This novel is a strong and serious piece of work; one of a kind that is getting too rare in these days of universal crankiness."—Boston Courier.
"A new and capital story, full of quiet, happy touches of humor."—Philadelphia Press.
A SOCIAL DEPARTURE: How Orthodocia and I Went Round the World by Ourselves.
With 111 Illustrations by F. H. Townsend. 12mo. Paper, 75 cents; cloth, $1.75.
"Widely read and praised on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific, with scores of illustrations which fit the text exactly and show the mind of artist and writer in unison."—New York Evening Post.
"It is to be doubted whether another book can be found so thoroughly amusing from beginning to end."—Boston Daily Advertiser.
"A brighter, merrier, more entirely charming book would be, indeed, difficult to find."—St. Louis Republic.
AN AMERICAN GIRL IN LONDON.
With 80 Illustrations by F. H. Townsend. 12mo. Paper, 75 cents; cloth, $1.50.
"One of the most naïve and entertaining books of the season."—New York Observer.
"So sprightly a book as this, on life in London as observed by an American, has never before been written."—Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Overrunning with cleverness and good-will."—New York Commercial Advertiser.
THE SIMPLE ADVENTURES OF A MEM-SAHIB.
With 37 Illustrations by F. H. Townsend. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"It is like traveling without leaving one's armchair to read it. Miss Duncan has the descriptive and narrative gift in large measure, and she brings vividly before us the street scenes, the interiors, the bewilderingly queer natives, the gayeties of the English colony."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
New York: D. APPLETON & CO. 72 Fifth Avenue.
ADA CAMBRIDGE'S NOVELS.
MY GUARDIAN.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A story which will, from first to last, enlist the sympathies of the reader by its simplicity of style and fresh, genuine feeling.... The author is au fait at the delineation of character."—Boston Transcript.
"The dénouement is all that the most ardent romance-reader could desire."—Chicago Evening Journal.
THE THREE MISS KINGS.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"An exceedingly strong novel. It is an Australian story, teeming with a certain calmness of emotional power that finds expression in a continual outflow of living thought and feeling."—Boston Times.
"The story is told with great brilliancy, the character and society sketching is very charming, while delightful incidents and happy surprises abound. It is a triple love-story, pure in tone, and of very high literary merit."—Chicago Herald.
NOT ALL IN VAIN.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A worthy companion to the best of the author's former efforts, and in some respects superior to any of them."—Detroit Free Press.
"Its surprises are as unexpected as Frank Stockton's, but they are the surprises that are met with so commonly in human experience.... A better story has not been published in many moons."—Philadelphia Inquirer.
A MARRIAGE CEREMONY.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"'A Marriage Ceremony' is highly original in conception, its action graceful though rapid, and its characters speaking with that life and sprightliness that have made their author rank as a peer of delineators."—Baltimore American.
"This story by Ada Cambridge is one of her best, and to say that is to at once award it high praise."—Boston Advertiser.
"It is a pleasure to read this novel."—London Athenæum.
A LITTLE MINX.
12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.
"A thoroughly charming new novel, which is just the finest bit of work its author has yet accomplished."—Baltimore American.
"The character of the heroine is especially cleverly drawn."—New York Commercial Advertiser.
The Press on Ada Cambridge's Books.

New York: D. APPLETON & CO. 72 Fifth Avenue.
