William Waldorf Astor.
VALENTINO: An Historical Romance. (12mo, $1.00)—SFORZA: A Story of Milan. (12mo, $1.50.)
"The story is full of clear-cut little tableaux of mediæval Italian manners, customs, and observances. The movement throughout is spirited, the reproduction of bygone times realistic. Mr. Astor has written a romance which will heighten the reputation he made by 'Valentino.'"—The New York Tribune.
Arlo Bates.
A WHEEL OF FIRE. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.)
"The novel deals with character rather than incident, and is evolved from one of the most terrible of moral problems with a subtlety not unlike that of Hawthorne. One cannot enumerate all the fine points of artistic skill which make this study so wonderful in its insight, so rare in its combination of dramatic power and tenderness."—The Critic.
Hjalmar H. Boyesen.
FALCONBERG. Illustrated (12mo, $1.50)—GUNNAR. (Sq. 12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.25)—TALES FROM TWO HEMISPHERES. (Sq. 12mo, $1.00)—ILKA ON THE HILL TOP, and Other Stories. (Sq. 12mo, $1.00)—QUEEN TITANIA (Sq. 12mo, $1.00).
"Mr. Boyesen's stories possess a sweetness, a tenderness, and a drollery that are fascinating, and yet they are no more attractive than they are strong."—The Home Journal.
H. C. Bunner.
THE STORY OF A NEW YORK HOUSE. Illustrated by A. B. Frost. (12mo, $1.25)—THE MIDGE. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00)—ZADOC PINE, and Other Stories. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.)
"It is Mr. Bunner's delicacy of touch and appreciation of what is literary art that give his writings distinctive quality. Everything Mr. Bunner paints shows the happy appreciation of an author who has not alone mental discernment, but the artistic appreciation. The author and the artist both supplement one another in this excellent 'Story of a New York House.'"—The New York Times.
