Belford, Clarke & Co's New Books
The Truth about Tristem Varick. By Edgar Saltus.
"Our admiration for the perfection of its style, the brilliancy of its expressions, and the exquisite art with which the story has been handled, is unbounded."—Lippincott's Magazine.
"The plot is admirable, style exquisite; as a piece of art the style demands unstinted commendation."—St. John's (N. B.) Progress.
"A very surprising but fascinating love-story."—Amsterdam Democrat.
Eden. By Edgar Saltus.
"Mr. Saltus is an artist; his brilliant epigrammatic touch is as rare as it is exquisite; and to find fault with such a novel as 'Eden' because it is not Bunyan's 'Pilgrim Progress,' is absurd."—Boston Traveller.
"'Eden' is the best he has ever written. It Is a capital story, told in scholarly and clever English, and any one who begins to read it will not want to lay it aside until the end is reached."—Baltimore American.
A Transaction in Hearts. By Edgar Saltus.
Saltus' latest novel, and in some respects his best. In the character of Christopher Gonfallon the author aims a terrible blow at the hypocrisy of those who, setting themselves up as examples and leaders of men, fall before the temptations of the beast in their own natures. The recreant minister, the evil enigma, Claire, and the pure, sweet wife, make a trinity of characters rarely found in modern fiction.
The Philosophy of Disenchantment. By Edgar Saltus.
A philosophical work which entitles the author to a first place in the ranks of modern thinkers. Even those who disagree with his conclusions cannot deny him a vigorous and pointed logic, keen insight, and powerful reasoning.
