By F. Marion Crawford, author of "Children of the King," "Saracinesca," etc., etc. Uniform with the pocket edition of William Winter's Works. With photogravure portrait. 18mo, cloth, 75 cents.
* * * Also a large-paper limited edition. 12mo, $2.00.
"Mr. Crawford in the course of this readable little essay touches upon such topics as realism and romanticism, the use of dialect, the abuse of scientific information, the defects of historical fiction. Mr. Crawford's discussion of what does and what does not constitute the novel will be read with eager interest by the large company of his sincere admirers in this country."—Beacon.
CHILDREN OF THE KING.
A Tale of Southern Italy. 12mo, cloth, $1.00.
"A sympathetic reader cannot fail to be impressed with the dramatic power of this story. The simplicity of nature, the uncorrupted truth of a soul, have been portrayed by a master-hand. The suddenness of the unforeseen tragedy at the last renders the incident of the story powerful beyond description. One can only feel such sensations as the last scene of the story incites. It may be added that if Mr. Crawford has written some stories unevenly, he has made no mistakes in the stories of Italian life. A reader of them cannot fail to gain a clearer, fuller acquaintance with the Italians and the artistic spirit that pervades the country."—M.L.B. in Syracuse Journal.
Macmillan & Co. take pleasure in announcing that they have added the following volumes (with the author's latest revisions) to their uniform edition of the Works of Mr. F. Marion Crawford, thereby enabling them to issue a complete edition of all his novels:

F. MARION CRAWFORD'S NOVELS
NEW UNIFORM AND COMPLETE EDITION.
12mo, cloth. Price $1.00 each.
"Mr. F. Marion Crawford is," as Mr. Andrew Lang says, "the most 'versatile and various' of modern novelists. He has great adaptability and subtleness of mind, and whether dealing with life in modern Rome or at the court of Darius at Shushan, in the wilds of India or in the fashionable quarter of New York, in the Black Forest or in a lonely parish of rural England, he is equally facile and sure of his ground; a master of narrative style, he throws a subtle charm over all he touches."

WORKS BY HENRY JAMES.
A NEW VOLUME OF STORIES.
THE LESSON OF THE MASTER,
AND OTHER STORIES.
12mo, cloth extra, $1.00.
THE PRINCESS CASAMASSIMA.
12mo, $1.25.
We find no fault with Mr. Henry James's "Princess Casamassima." It is a great novel; it is his greatest, and it is incomparably the greatest novel of the year in our language.... From first to last we find no weakness in the book; the drama works simply and naturally; the causes and effects are logically related; the theme is made literature without ceasing to be life.—Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Editor's Study.
THE REVERBERATORS.
12mo, $1.00.
The public will be glad to find Mr. James in his best vein. One is thankful again that there is so brilliant an American author to give us entertaining sketches of life.—Boston Herald.
THE ASPERN PAPERS,
AND OTHER STORIES.
12mo, $1.00.
The stories are told with that mastery of the art of story-telling which their writer possesses in a conspicuous degree.—Literary World.
PARTIAL PORTRAITS.
12mo, $1.75.
Henry James has never appeared to better advantage as an author than in this delightful volume of critical essays.—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
THE BOSTONIANS.
12mo, $1.25.
Unquestionably "The Bostonians" is not only the most brilliant and remarkable of Mr. James's novels, but it is one of the most important of recent contributions to literature.—Boston Courier.
A LONDON LIFE,
AND OTHER STORIES.
12mo, $1.00.
His short stories, which are always bright and sparkling, are delightful.... Will bear reading again and again.—Mail and Express.
FRENCH POETS AND NOVELISTS.

WORKS BY MRS. HUMPHRY WARD.
Mrs. Humphry Ward's New Novel,
THE HISTORY OF DAVID GRIEVE.
12mo, cloth, extra, $1.00.
ROBERT ELSMERE.
12mo, cloth, $1.00; Library Edition, 2 vols., $3.00.
The book is a drama in which every page is palpitating with intense and real life. It is a realistic novel in the highest sense of the word.—The Whitehall Review.
MR. GLADSTONE writes of this Novel in the "Nineteenth Century."
The strength of the book seems to lie in an extraordinary wealth of diction, never separated from thought; in a close and searching faculty of social observation; in generous appreciation of what is morally good, impartially exhibited in all directions; above all, in the sense of omission with which the writer is evidently possessed, and in the earnestness and persistency of purpose with which through every page and line it is pursued. The book is eminently an offspring of the time, and will probably make a deep, or at least a very sensible impression; not, however, among mere novel-readers, but among those who share, in whatever sense, the deeper thought of the period.
AMIEL'S JOURNAL.
THE JOURNAL INTIME OF HENRI-FREDERIC AMIEL.
TRANSLATED, WITH AN INTRODUCTION AND NOTES. WITH A PORTRAIT.
New and Cheaper Edition. 12mo, $1.25.
A wealth of thought and a power of expression which would make the fortune of a dozen less able works.—Churchman.
A work of wonderful beauty, depth, and charm.... Will stand beside such confessions as St. Augustine's and Pascal's.... It is a book to converse with again and again: fit to stand among the choicest volumes that we esteem as friends of our souls.—Christian Register.
MISS BRETHERTON.
12mo, cloth (uniform with "Robert Elsmere"), $1.25.
It shows decided character and very considerable originality.... It is full of earnest womanly sympathy with the ambitions of a beautiful girl placed in false and difficult positions by good fortune, which may possibly turn to misfortune.... We are impressed throughout by the refinement and the evidence of culture which underlie all the book, though they are seldom or never obtruded.—London Times.
MILLY AND OLLY;
OR, A HOLIDAY AMONG THE MOUNTAINS.
16mo, $1.00.
ILLUSTRATED BY MRS. ALMA-TADEMA.
The present season will scarcely see a more charming addition to children's literature than this of Mrs. Ward's. Her book has seemed to us all that a Christmas gift for a child should be.—Academy.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
Obvious typographical and printer errors have been corrected without comment.
On page 324: There was no opening quote mark to match the closing quote at the end of the first paragraph on this page. The text does not clearly define where the opening quote mark should be, and so it has been added before the phrase: "who had never known...."
Other than the above, no effort has been made to standardize internal inconsistencies in spelling, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, etc. The author's usage is preserved as in the original publication.
