RECENT MACMILLAN NOVELS
Each, cloth, $1.50
The Long Road
By JOHN OXENHAM
“... It is a thrilling and an absorbing story. Through all the tragedy of life ... there is a rarely sweet accompaniment of tender tones, of love and heroism and intermittent, never quite lost hope. It is a touching and beautiful story.”—Buffalo Evening News.
Coniston
By WINSTON CHURCHILL
“Coniston has a lighter, gayer spirit, and a deeper, tenderer touch than Mr. Churchill has ever achieved before.... It is one of the finest and truest transcripts of modern American life thus far achieved in our fiction.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cloth, illustrated, $1.50
Lady Baltimore
By OWEN WISTER
“That the author of ‘The Virginian’ could deal deliciously with such a rich field ... might be assumed. But with what charm and delicacy, fine humor and insight, the work has been done, only a direct acquaintance with the finished volume can justly show. The Southerner will certainly find enchanting home touches in it, and every reader will feel the spell of the quiet old southern town and all the tender, dainty, and humorous southern life and atmosphere that hang about it.”—St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Cloth, $1.50
The Garden, You and I
By MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT
“Few books published in this country recently have been of a kind to make an author so proud. Hers are immensely fine and sweet.”—St. Louis Democrat.
The new book by the author of “The Garden of a Commuter’s Wife” and “People of the Whirlpool,” is a story of new friends as charming in their own way as “Barbara” herself. Their highly original vacation is described from more than one point of view, each more deliciously funny than the next.
Cloth, $1.50
A Lady of Rome
By F. MARION CRAWFORD
“His skill in making his portraits live before the reader’s eyes is unsurpassed; and in the production of story-value and prolonged suspense, Mr. Crawford has no peer.”—Boston Herald.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
White Fang
By JACK LONDON
“Jack London is the apostle of strength and courage. In ‘White Fang’ he has full play ... in his chosen field. He has done this work so well that he makes the interest as intense as if he were telling the story of a man.”—Globe Democrat.
Illustrated in colors, cloth, $1.50
When Love Speaks
By WILL PAYNE
“One of the most interesting novels ever written on the conflict between law and honesty on one side and the alliance of low politics and high finance on the other. Stirring love story woven in with the fight against an unscrupulous whiskey trust. A fine, clean American story, of interest alike to men and women.”—Chicago Record-Herald.

If Youth But Knew
By AGNES and EGERTON CASTLE
“They should be the most delightful of comrades, for their writing is so apt, so responsive, so saturated with the promptings and the glamour of spring. It is because ‘If Youth But Knew’ has all these adorable qualities that it is so fascinating.”—Cleveland Leader.
Cloth, $1.50
Disenchanted
By PIERRE LOTI
“Our romantic son of Hercules wields in defence of Liberty a slender, aromatic sorcerer’s wand. And his magic has lost nothing of its might. We dare not begin quoting a book of which every page is a picture.”—The London Times.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
The Sin of George Warrener
By Miss VAN VORST
“For acute comprehension of human nature both masculine and feminine, and a keen apprehension of a phase of our social conditions, the book is a piece of rare artistry.”—Phila. Evening Tel.
$1.50
Her Majesty’s Rebels
By SIDNEY R. LYSAGHT
“A story of Irish people that is neither prejudiced nor patronizing.... A rare and charming novel ... racy and convincing.”—World.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
Listener’s Lure
By E. V. LUCAS
“A Kensington Comedy” which proves that the delightful fellow-wanderer in Holland and in London has a keen sense of humor and a gift for semi-satirical portrait sketching.
Cloth, 12mo, $1.50
The Amulet
By CHARLES E. CRADDOCK
“... A little old-fashioned, perhaps, according to modern sensational standards, but written with force and feeling, full of local color and character, wholesome and interesting from cover to cover, and so far as one can judge, a truthful picture of a most picturesque phase of pioneer history that has not been exploited to the point of tiresomeness.”—The New York Times.
Cloth, $1.50
The Romance of John Bainbridge
By HENRY GEORGE, Jr.
“Belongs to the large class of present-day novels in which a young man of high ideals goes into politics in order to do battle with the dragons of bribery and corruption. The particular demon in this case is a perpetual street railway franchise. The love story betrays the apprentice hand, but the description of the fight in the aldermanic council is a capital piece of work.”—The Congregationalist.
$1.50
The Way of the Gods
By JOHN LUTHER LONG
As the readers of “Madam Butterfly” know, there is no one, since the death of Lafcadio Hearn, who can make Japanese life so charming as does Mr. Long. This story of the little samurai, hardly big enough to be a soldier, and of how the fair eta Hoshiko met his obligations for him, is very real and appealing.
Cloth, $1.50
The Vine of Sibmah
By Dr. ANDREW MACPHAIL
“The book is taut with action and breathless climaxes. Its principal character, a soldier, has for his friend a most engaging pirate. This combination alone makes interesting reading.”—Chicago Evening Post.
