“Miss Seawell’s narrative is not only infused with a tender and sympathetic spirit of romance and surcharged with human interests, but discloses, in addition, careful and minute study of local conditions and characteristic mannerisms. It is an intimate study of life on a Virginia plantation during an emergent and critical period of American history.”—Philadelphia North American.
“It is one of the romances that make, by spirit as well as letter, for youth and high feeling. It embodies, perhaps, the best work this author yet has done.”—Chicago Record-Herald.
“Aside from the engaging story itself and the excellent manner in which it is told there is much of historic interest in this vivid word-picture of the customs and manners of a period which has formed the background of much fiction.”—Brooklyn Citizen.
D. APPLETON AND COMPANY, NEW YORK
BY THE AUTHOR OF “THE FIGHTING CHANCE.”
The Younger Set.
A Novel by Robert W. Chambers. Illustrated by G. C. Wilmshurst. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
This is a famous novel of New York society; a brilliant picture of American wealth in its romance, its sins, its splendors, its divorces and its sports; a love story such as only Robert W. Chambers can write. It is stronger, tenser, better than the same author’s greatest, success, “The Fighting Chance.” Richly illustrated by G. C. Wilmshurst.
“It is brightly told, replete with the wit and sparkle and charm that invests everything Mr. Chambers writes. It is a delightful sojourn among people one could wish to know.”—Kansas City Star.
“It is written with a freshness and vigor that cannot be too much appreciated and praised.”—Salt Lake Tribune.
