"Georg Ebers writes stories of ancient times with the conscientiousness of a true investigator. His tales are so carefully told that large portions of them might be clipped or quoted by editors of guide-books and authors of histories intended to be popular."—New York Herald.

D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS.
SLEEPING FIRES. By George Gissing, author of "In the Year of Jubilee," "Eve's Ransom," etc. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
In this striking story the author has treated an original motive with rare self-command and skill. His book is most interesting as a story, and remarkable as a literary performance.
STONEPASTURES. By Eleanor Stuart. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
"This is a strong bit of good literary workmanship.... The book has the value of being a real sketch of our own mining regions, and of showing how, even in the apparently dull round of work, there is still material for a good bit of literature."—Philadelphia Ledger.
COURTSHIP BY COMMAND. By M. M. Blake. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
"A bright, moving study of an unusually interesting period in the life of Napoleon, ... deliciously told; the characters are clearly, strongly, and very delicately modeled, and the touches of color most artistically done. 'Courtship by Command' is the most satisfactory Napoleon bonne-bouche we have had."—New York Commercial Advertiser.
