Mary E. Wilkins writes of New England country life, analyzes New England country character, with the skill and deftness of one who knows it through and through, and yet never forgets that, while realistic, she is first and last an artist.—Boston Advertiser.
Miss Wilkins has attained an eminent position among her literary contemporaries as one of the most careful, natural, and effective writers of brief dramatic incident. Few surpass her in expressing the homely pathos of the poor and ignorant, while the humor of her stories is quiet, pervasive, and suggestive.—Philadelphia Press.
It takes just such distinguished literary art as Mary E. Wilkins possesses to give an episode of New England its soul, pathos, and poetry.—N. Y. Times.
The pathos of New England life, its intensities of repressed feeling, its homely tragedies, and its tender humor, have never been better told than by Mary E. Wilkins.—Boston Courier.
The simplicity, purity, and quaintness of these stories set them apart in a niche of distinction where they have no rivals.—Literary World, Boston.
The charm of Miss Wilkins’s stories is in her intimate acquaintance and comprehension of humble life, and the sweet human interest she feels and makes her readers partake of, in the simple, common, homely people she draws.—Springfield Republican.

Mrs. Stuart is one of some half-dozen American writers who are doing the best that is being done for English literature at the present time. Her range of dialect is extraordinary; but, after all, it is not the dialect that constitutes the chief value of her work. That will be found in its genuineness, lighted up as it is by superior intelligence and imagination and delightful humor.—Chicago Tribune.
Mrs. Stuart is a genuine humorist.—N.Y. Mail and Express.
Few surpass Mrs. Stuart in dialect studies of negro life and character.—Detroit Free Press.

Characterization is Miss Woolson’s forte. Her men and women are not mere puppets, but original, breathing, and finely contrasted creations.—Chicago Tribune.
Miss Woolson is one of the few novelists of the day who know how to make conversation, how to individualize the speakers, how to exclude rabid realism without falling into literary formality.—N. Y. Tribune.
For tenderness and purity of thought, for exquisitely delicate sketching of characters, Miss Woolson is unexcelled among writers of fiction.—New Orleans Picayune.
For swiftly graphic stroke, for delicacy of appreciative coloring, and for sentimental suggestiveness, it would be hard to rival Miss Woolson’s sketches.—Watchman, Boston.

By LILIAN BELL
THE INSTINCT OF STEP-FATHERHOOD. Stories.
The spirit of fun is found to a greater or less degree in all of the sketches, but at times the fun borders on the tragic so closely that the dividing line between laughter and tears almost fades out of sight.—Brooklyn Eagle.
FROM A GIRL’S POINT OF VIEW.
The author is so good-humored, quaint, and clever that she has not left a dull page in her book.—Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston.
A LITTLE SISTER TO THE WILDERNESS. A Novel. New Edition.
Written from the heart and with rare sympathy.... The writer has a natural and fluent style, and her dialect has the double excellence of being novel and scanty. The scenes are picturesque and diversified.—Churchman, N.Y.
THE UNDER SIDE OF THINGS. A Novel. With a Portrait of the Author.
This is a tenderly beautiful story.... This book is Miss Bell’s best effort, and most in the line of what we hope to see her proceed in, dainty and keen and bright, and always full of the fine warmth and tenderness of splendid womanhood.—Interior, Chicago.
THE LOVE AFFAIRS OF AN OLD MAID.
So much sense, sentiment, and humor are not often united in a single volume.—Observer, N.Y.

By ELIZABETH B. CUSTER
FOLLOWING THE GUIDON. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
The story is a thrillingly interesting one, charmingly told.... Mrs. Custer gives sketches photographic in their fidelity to fact, and touches them with the brush of the true artist just enough to give them coloring. It is a charming volume, and the reader who begins it will hardly lay it down until it is finished.—Boston Traveller.
An admirable book. Mrs. Custer was almost as good a soldier as her gallant husband, and her book breathes the true martial spirit.—St. Louis Republic.
BOOTS AND SADDLES; or, Life in Dakota with General Custer. With Portrait of General Custer, and Map. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
A book of adventure is interesting reading, especially when it is all true, as is the case with “Boots and Saddles.” ... Mrs. Custer does not obtrude the fact that sunshine and solace went with her to tent and fort, but it inheres in her narrative none the less, and as a consequence “these simple annals of our daily life,” as she calls them, are never dull nor uninteresting.—Evangelist, N. Y.
No better or more satisfactory life of General Custer could have been written.... We know of no biographical work anywhere which we count better than this.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
TENTING ON THE PLAINS; or, General Custer in Kansas and Texas. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, $1 50.
Mrs. Custer was a keen observer.... The narrative abounds in vivid description, in exciting incident, and gives us a realistic picture of adventurous frontier life. This new edition will be welcomed.—Boston Advertiser.
