“As in Madam Butterfly his subtle appreciation of love’s tender mystery creates an exquisite thrill of ‘the heavenly longing—for the love—the loved ones’ the one thing that through poverty and age can keep the door open to joy.”—New York Times.

Each, in decorated cloth covers, $1.50
The Making of Christopher Ferringham
“In brilliancy, exciting interest, and verisimilitude, The Making of Christopher Ferringham is one of the best of the semi-historical novels of the day, and not unworthy of comparison with Maurice Hewlett’s best.”—Boston Advertiser.
The Life, Treason, and Death of James Blount of Breckenhow
“A novel that may fairly challenge comparison with the very best, telling the story of treason and a love, of many good fights, a few mistakes, and a good death at the last.”—The Boston Transcript.
The Fair Maid of Greystones
“The plot of The Fair Maid of Greystones is not unworthy of Weyman at his best. This is strong praise, but it is deserved. From the moment Jack Hetherington, the Cavalier volunteer, assumes the identity of his blackguard cousin, and thus escapes certain death to face the responsibility for his kinsman’s dark deeds, until the end, which is sanely happy, the adventure never flags. This is one of the few historical novels in whose favor an exception may well be made by those who long since lost interest in the school.”—New York Mail.
