THE FAITH DOCTOR. By Edward Eggleston, author of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," "The Circuit Rider," etc., 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "One of the novels of the decade."—Rochester Union and Advertiser.

"It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the title should have fallen into such competent hands."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

"The author of 'The Hoosier Schoolmaster' has enhanced his reputation by this beautiful and touching study of the character of a girl to love whom proved a liberal education to both of her admirers."—London Athenæum.

"'The Faith Doctor' is worth reading for its style, its wit, and its humor, and not less, we may add, for its pathos."—London Spectator.

"Much skill is shown by the author in making these 'fads' the basis of a novel of great interest. . . . One who tries to keep in the current of good novel-reading must certainly find time to read 'The Faith Doctor.'"—Buffalo Commercial.



AN UTTER FAILURE. By Miriam Coles Harris, author of "Rutledge." 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A story with an elaborate plot, worked out with great cleverness and with the skill of an experienced artist in fiction. The interest is strong and at times very dramatic. . . . Those who were attracted by 'Rutledge' will give hearty welcome to this story, and find it fully as enjoyable as that once immensely popular novel."—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.

"In this new story the author has done some of the best work that she has ever given to the public, and it will easily class among the most meritorious and most original novels of the year."—Boston Home Journal.

"The author of 'Rutledge' does not often send out a new volume, but when she does it is always a literary event. . . . Her previous books were sketchy and slight when compared with the finished and trained power evidenced in 'An Utter Failure.'"—New Haven Palladium.



A PURITAN PAGAN. By Julien Gordon, author of "A Diplomat's Diary," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger grows stronger as she writes. . . . The lines in her story are boldly and vigorously etched."—New York Times.

"The author's recent books have made for her a secure place in current literature, where she can stand fast. . . . Her latest production, 'A Puritan Pagan,' is an eminently clever story, in the best sense of the word clever."—Philadelphia Telegraph.

"It is obvious that the author is thoroughly at home in illustrating the manner and the sentiment of the best society of both America and Europe."—Chicago Times.



ELINE VERE. By Louis Couperus. Translated from the Dutch by J. T. Grein. With an Introduction by Edmund Gosse. Holland Fiction Series. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "Most careful in its details of description, most picturesque in its coloring."—Boston Post.

"A vivacious and skillful performance, giving an evidently faithful picture of society, and evincing the art of a true story-teller."—Philadelphia Telegraph.

"The dénoûment is tragical, thrilling, and picturesque."—New York World.
