"Mr. Grant is nothing if not entertaining—nothing if not subtle. Himself a clever analyst, he defies analysis."—The University.

MR. GRANT'S NOVELS.

THE KNAVE OF HEARTS.

1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"It is a companion to 'The Confessions of a Frivolous Girl,' being the autobiography of a young man who devotes himself to the profession of heart-breaking. The various species of American female flirts are amusingly and clearly sketched by a few light but powerful strokes, and this, together with the simple yet surprisingly successful methods employed to make the girls' acquaintance, to lead them gently on to the brink of the precipice, and then to drop them, instantaneously and utterly, makes the book a veritable 'flirt's vade mecum.'"—The Argonaut.

AN AVERAGE MAN.

1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

"There is a good strong purpose throughout the story. The style is rapid and bright."—Life.

THE CONFESSIONS OF A FRIVOLOUS GIRL.

1 vol. 16mo. $1.25.

"The greatest social literary hit of the year."—Chicago Tribune.

"A screaming success."—Saturday Review.

"Clever and piquant sketches—refreshing spirit and vivacity."—Harper's Magazine.

A ROMANTIC YOUNG LADY.

1 vol. 12mo. $1.50.

Mr. Grant's latest work, and in many respects his best.
