HILDA WADE
A Woman with Tenacity of Purpose. By Grant Allen, author of “Miss Cayley’s Adventures,” etc. With 98 illustrations by Gordon Browne. 8o $1.50
“Mr. Allen’s text, as in all his writings, is singularly picturesque and captivating. There are no commonplaces, and, although the outcome is perfectly evident early in the story, the reader will find his attention chained.... It is one of the best of the summer books, and as an artistic bit of light reading ranks high. It is a pity that such a vivid imagination and high-bred style of discourse are no longer in the land of the living to entertain us with further stories of adventure.”—Boston Times.
THE SECRET OF THE CRATER
(A Mountain Moloch.) By Duffield Osborne, author of “The Spell of Ashtaroth,” etc. Hudson Library, No. 45. 12o, paper, 50 cts.; cloth $1.00
“The author is a novelist with a genuine gift for narrative. He knows how to tell a story, and he is capable of conceiving a plot as wild as was ever imagined by Jules Verne or Rider Haggard.... The reader will find himself amused and interested from the first page to the last.”—N. Y. Herald.
Love Letters of a Musician
By Myrtle Reed. 12o, gilt top $1.75
“Miss Reed’s book is an exquisite prose poem—words strung on thought-threads of gold—in which a musician tells his love for one whom he has found to be his ideal. The idea is not new, but the opinion is ventured that nowhere has it been one-half so well carried out as in the ‘Love Letters of a Musician.’ The ecstacy of hope, the apathy of despair, alternate in these enchanting letters, without one line of cynicism to mar the beauty of their effect.”—Rochester Herald.
