D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.
BY S. R. CROCKETT.
Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
LADS' LOVE. Illustrated.
"It seems to us that there is in this latest product much of the realism of personal experience. However modified and disguised, it is hardly possible to think that the writer's personality does not present itself in Saunders McQuhirr. . . . Rarely has the author drawn more truly from life than in the cases of Nance and 'the Hempie'; never more typical Scotsman of the humble sort than the farmer Peter Chrystie."—London Athenieum.
"A thoroughly delightful book. ... It is hearty, wholesome, full of pleasant light and dainty touches. It must be regarded as one of the best things that Crockett has writtten."—Brooklyn Eagle.
CLEG KELLY, ARAB OF THE CITY. His
Progress and Adventures. Illustrated.
"A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled. ... If there ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic ragamuffin."—London Daily Chronicle.
"In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ... It is one of the great books."—Boston Daily Advertiser.
BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT. Third edition.
"Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn. . . . Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, too gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and held palpitating in expression's grasp."—Boston Courier.
"Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character."—Boston Home Journal.
"One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the writer's charm of manner."—Minneapolis Tribune.
THE LILAC SUNBONNET. Eighth edition.
"A love story pure and simple, one of the old fashioned, wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year, it has escaped our notice."—New York Times.
"The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the growth of love between the young chief and heroine, is delineated with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty, which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among the best stories of the time."—New York Mail and Express.
"In its own line this little love story can hardly be excelled. It is a pastoral, an idyl—the story of love and courtship and marriage of a fine young man and a lovely girl—no more; but it is told in so thoroughly delightful a manner, with such playful humor, such delicate fancy, such true and sympathetic feeling, that nothing more could be desired."—Boston Traveler.
