THE GREAT NOVEL OF THE DAY.
ON THE HEIGHTS
By BERTHOLD AUERBACH.
One handsome volume, with Pictorial Title. Price, $2.00.
Only recently presented to American readers, this volume has made its mark, and will be henceforth classed among those works of fiction which hold a lasting place in literature.
"'On the Heights,' in its calm beauty, is like a bill-side meadow on a bright May morning, when every blade of grass holds a sparkling world, and the air is stirred by no sound save the matin songs of the birds, and no darkness falls upon the ground save the occasional shadow of a cloud, which creeps slowly away, giving place to the full flood of sunlight.
"The 'heights' are heights of social position, of intellectual striving, and of moral purity; and the problems treated are the deepest problems of life."—Rochester Democrat.
The title is beautifully chosen, originated by Goethe's line, "On every height there lies repose." Throughout it brings into sharp contrast the life of the palace and the life of the cottage.
