"The best new novel before the public."—New York Express.
Blanche Dearwood:
A NEW ROMANCE OF AMERICAN LIFE.
One Vol. 12mo., Cloth, $1; Paper, 75 Cents.
"Blanche Dearwood is a work of genuine Vigor, full of Passion, of Life and Character, and especially a reflection of these, as developed in our midst. It possesses a distinction from our other local novels—that of a sustained and dignified tone, which if it does not aim at a uniform ideality, reaches an elegance and beauty in its materials and finish quite equal to the best English novels. From the first page to the end, the interest is graduated with accelerating intensity, and as a delicious Love Story, or as a well-knit Intrigue, skillfully managed with an intensity of interest, happy conclusion, pleasant description and incident, we are prepared to accord it our vote and sanction, as the best new novel before the public."—New York Express.
"The best American novel of the season as far as we have yet seen. The story is full of interest, and the characters are marked with individuality."—New York Daily Times.
"It has the gentleness and delicacy of perception peculiar to the female mind, and yet the masculine strength of expression, and vigor of imagination peculiar to men."—Sunday Courier.
"There are few modern tales the perusal of which has given us more pleasure."—New York Herald.
