STEPHEN CRANE’S BOOKS.
THE THIRD VIOLET. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“By this latest product of his genius our impression of Mr. Crane is confirmed that, for psychological insight, for dramatic intensity, and for potency of phrase, he is already in the front rank of English and American writers of fiction, and that he possesses a certain separate quality which places him apart.”—London Academy.
“The whole book, from beginning to end, fairly bristles with fun.... It is adapted for pure entertainment, yet it is not easily put down or forgotten.”—Boston Herald.
THE LITTLE REGIMENT, and Other Episodes of the American Civil War. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.
“In ‘The Little Regiment’ we have again studies of the volunteers waiting impatiently to fight and fighting, and the impression of the contest as a private soldier hears, sees, and feels it, is really wonderful. The reader has no privileges. He must, it seems, take his place in the ranks, and stand in the mud, wade in the river, fight, yell, swear, and sweat with the men. He has some sort of feeling, when it is all over, that he has been doing just these things. This sort of writing needs no praise. It will make its way to the hearts of men without praise.”—New York Times.
“Told with a verve that brings a whiff of burning powder to one’s nostrils.... In some way he blazons the scene before our eyes, and makes us feel the very impetus of bloody war.”—Chicago Evening Post.
