THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE. By Gilbert Parker.
"To tell such a story convincingly a man must have what I call the rarest of literary gifts—the power to condense. Of the good feeling and healthy wisdom of this little tale others no doubt have spoken and will speak. But I have chosen this technical quality for praise, because in this I think Mr. Parker has made the furthest advance on his previous work. Indeed, in workmanship he seems to be improving faster than any of the younger novelists."—A. T. Quiller-Couch, in the London Spectator.
THE FAÏENCE VIOLIN. By Champfleury. Translated by W. H. Bishop.
"The style is happy throughout, the humorous parts being well calculated to bring smiles, while we can hardly restrain our tears when the poor enthusiast goes to excesses that have a touch of pathos."—Albany Times-Union.
