Works by Mrs. Young.

Adrift, A Story of Niagara : A Novel. Dedicated to William Dean Howells. A very taking story. The descriptions of the falls and river of Niagara are not less fascinating than the human interest of the book. Albany Journal.

Thistle Down: Poems. Dedicated to Margaret McKenna Ditto.

We wonder if this poet had in mind the Galatea of Theocritus when she wrote Thistle Down? Her verses have the trembling, airy grace we see in harls and gossamers. Some of the pieces have the quality of genius. Maurice Thompson in The Independent.

Glynne s Wife: A Novelette in Verse. Dedicated to Robert D. Young.

Probably the rarest of all the Roycroft publica tions. New York Times.

It is said the author felt the romance and pathos of Mr. Vanderbilt s waiting on his yacht "Valiant" for the news of Mrs. Vanderbilt s marriage to Mr. Belmont, and out of that incident the charming fiction grew. The story is of very unusual merit from every standpoint, and one in which the powers of the poet, the novelist, and the moralist are singularly combined. A. Jeffrey in Brooklyn Citizen.

These lines have the genuine Byronic flavor, and are in places as voluptuous of color and form as Keats. Walter Storrs Bigelow in Boston Transcript.
