"The author of that very bright, witty, and audacious story, 'Guerndale,' has written another, 'The Crime of Henry Vane', which is just as witty in many of its chapters and has more of a purpose in its whole structure. No young novelist in this country seems better equipped than Mr. Stimson is. He shows unusual gifts in this and in his other stories."—The Philadelphia Bulletin."

"Of Mr. Stockton's stories what is there to say, but that they are an unmixed blessing and delight? He is surely one of the most inventive of talents, discovering not only a new kind in humor and fancy, but accumulating an inexhaustible wealth of details in each fresh achievement, the least of which would be riches from another hand."—W. D. Howells, in Harper's Magazine.

T. R. Sullivan.
ROSES OF SHADOW. (12mo, $1.00.)
"The characters of the story have a remarkable vividness and individuality every one of them which mark at once Mr. Sullivan's strongest promise as a novelist. All of his men are excellent. John Musgrove, the grimly pathetic old beau, sometimes reminds us of a touch of Thackeray."—The Cincinnati Times-Star.
A CHILD OF THE CENTURY. (12mo, paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.)
"This is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable novels that has been published for a long time. It is a story of to-day, of American life and character; a typical story of political and social life, free from cynicism or morbid realism, and brimming over with good-natured fun, which is never vulgar."—The Christian at Work.
