A MERE CYPHER.
By MARY WEST.
The novel is admirably written. It has not only distinction of style, but intellectual quality of an exceptionable order; and while the treatment is never didactic, questions of ethical import come naturally into evidence, and are dealt with in a decisive way.... A remarkably well-executed piece of fiction.—Utica News.
A BORN PLAYER.
By the MARCHESA THEODOLI.
A thoroughly pleasing and unpretentious story of modern Rome. The pictures of home life in the princely Astalli family are most curious and interesting; while the reader's sympathy with the charming and delicate romance of the book, ending happily at last, in the face of apparently insurmountable obstacles, will be readily enlisted from its inception.—The Art Amateur.
