able Leisure Hour Series."--_Nation_.
"To any one who wants a book that will prove both entertaining
and profitable, as good literature always is, and does not know
precisely what to ask for, we say select one of 'The Leisure Hour
Series.'"--_Boston Advertiser_.
"The series has throughout been a most creditable one, commended as
much to literary readers for the literary excellence maintained in the
selection of its books as to ordinary novel buyers by their cleverness
and interest."--_N. Y. Tribune_.
"Has a way of absorbing all the charming stories and new authors that
one never heard of until introduced in this manner.--_N. Y. Herald_.
"We do not recall one of this series that has not been deserving the
high and noble company into which it has been admitted. Outwardly,

its various volumes, from the strong stalwart pictures of Russian life
and character by Turgenieff, to the delightful stories by Mrs.
Alexander."--_Cincinnati Times_.
No. 93. THE HONORABLE MISS FERRARD. By May Laffan.
"It is not an abuse of terms to call it brilliant. The book cannot fail

"A brilliant novel ... Unmistakably the work of a finished and a
reflecting writer."--_Boston Gazette_.
No. 94. LANDOLIN. By Berthold Auerbach.
"We do not err, we think, in calling this one of his masterpieces, in
which we have his art at its best."--_N. Y. Evening Post_.
"In every sense one of his best works.... It is evident throughout,
that he has neither 'written out,' nor lost the vein of originality and
freshness which give such a charm to his books."--_Boston Post_.
"Likely to rank next to 'On the Heights.'"--_Louisville Courier
Journal_.
No. 95. MAID ELLICE. By Theo. Gift, author of "Pretty Miss Bellew."
(_New Revised Edition now Ready_.)
No. 96. HATHERCOURT. By Mrs. Molesworth, (Ennis Graham), author of "The
Cuckoo Clock."
No. 97. PLAY-DAY POEMS. Collected and edited by Rossiter Johnson. The
best of the humorous poems published since Parton's collection in 1856,
and also many of the old favorites. (_Just Ready_.)
No. 98. GADDINGS WITH A PRIMITIVE PEOPLE. By W. A. Baillie Grohman. A
remarkably entertaining volume of out-of-the-way life and adventure,
which the _London Saturday Review_ characterized as "singularly
readable;" the _Spectator_, as "a book such as the public seldom has
the opportunity of rea
