One of the most delightful books of the time. It is read with keen enjoyment, and its leaves will be turned over again many times in delicious reminiscence of its fascinating episodes and its entrancing digressions.—Richard Henry Stoddard, in N. Y. Mail and Express.
Mark Twain, in the best book he has ever written, has given us a life of Joan of Arc so amazing in its realism, its vividness and force, that, like Shakespeare's plays, it compels acceptance.... It seems to us that Mark Twain's "Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc" is not only the best thing he has ever done, but one of the best things done by anybody in fiction for a long time past.—Speaker, London.

From New Electrotype Plates. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental:
THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN. With Photogravure Portrait of the Author, and Other Illustrations. $1.75.
We are suspicious of the middle-aged person who has not read "Huckleberry Finn"; we envy the young person who has it still in store.... After the humor of the book has had its way then the pathos will be apparent, and later still will come the recognition of the value of these sketches as pictures of a civilization now ended.—Philadelphia Ledger.
LIFE ON THE MISSISSIPPI. Illustrated. $1.75.
