"A Politician's Daughter" is a bright, vivacious novel, based on a more than usual knowledge of American social and political life.
ALIETTE (La Morte). By Octave Feuillet, author of "The Romance of a Poor Young Man," etc. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; half bound, 75 cents.
"There is no sort of doubt that M. Octave Feuillet has produced a little book of immense power, in which the sketches of character are as vivid as if he had had no moral after-thought in his work."--London Spectator.
"Nobody can deny that M. Feuillet has made a very strong hit in 'La Morte.' ... Altogether the machinery of the novel is excellent and the interest admirably sustained."--London Saturday Review.
"The development of the characters is most skillful, and while the journal form into which the beginning and end are thrown Imposes special difficulties upon the author, there is no loss of power in these parts. Perhaps the most subtile thing in the book is the exposition, in the contrasted characters of Dr. Tallevaut and Sabine, of the two ways in which the modern scientific education may operate; and of the radical difference in the effect of such teaching upon one whose mind has been formed under religious influences and one whose growing intellect has been carefully guarded against all spiritual beliefs and doctrines. The figure of Aliette is the least strongly drawn, yet she is perfectly intelligible. Sabine is startling, and will no doubt be called unnatural, but it would be unreasonable to Bay that a girl with such a temperament, so educated, might not grow into such a woman."--New York Tribune.
"Merit of a most unusual kind."--London Athenæum.

WON BY WAITING. A Novel. By Edna Lyall. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"The Dean's daughters are perfectly real characters--the learned Cornelia especially; the little impulsive French heroine, who endures their cold hospitality and at last wins their affection, is thoroughly charming; while throughout the book there runs a golden thread of pure brotherly and sisterly love, which pleasantly reminds us that the making and marring of marriage is not, after all, the sum total of real life."--London Academy.
