FRANK AYRTON. By Mrs. J. M. M. Hewett. 1 vol.
IN THE FLOWER OF HER YOUTH. By Mabel Collins, Author of “Too Red a Dawn,” “An Innocent Sinner,” &c. 3 vols.
“Miss Collins’s ably-written story is likely to be well received.”—Athenæum.
“Miss Collins is acquiring more strength and facility as she continues in authorship. The tale before us has some well-conceived situations.”—Academy.
“Miss Collins has evidently thrown her whole heart into her work, for many passages are full of eloquence and fire. The pathetic scenes are composed with a power of detail that in many cases will thrill the reader. Engrossing as are the first and second volumes, the third far excels either.... Miss Collins is the author of several stories of fiction, for which she has obtained the good opinion of her admirers, but ‘In the Flower of Her Youth’ far excels her former efforts.”—Public Opinion.
