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.
THE WATTER’S MOU’. By Bram Stoker. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
“Here is a tale to stir the most sluggish nature.... It is like standing on the deck of a wave-tossed ship; you feel the soul of the storm go into your blood.”—New York Home Journal.
MASTER AND MAN. By Count Leo Tolstoy. With an Introduction by W. D. Howells. 16mo. Cloth, 75 cents.
