THE BONDMAN. New edition, 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"The welcome given to this story has cheered and touched me, but I
am conscious that, to win a reception so warm, such a book must
have had readers who brought to it as much as they took away.... I
have called my story a saga, merely because it follows the epic
method, and I must not claim for it at any point the weighty
responsibility of history, or serious obligations to the world of
fact. But it matters not to me what Icelanders may call 'The
Bondman,' if they will honor me by reading it in the open-hearted
spirit and with the free mind with which they are content to read

CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth,
$1.00.

"A new departure by this author. Unlike his previous works, this
little tale is almost wholly humorous, with, however, a current of
pathos underneath. It is not always that an author can succeed
equally well in tragedy and in comedy, but it looks as though Mr.
Hall Caine would be one of the exceptions."--London Literary
World.

"It is pleasant to meet the author of 'The Deemster' in a brightly
humorous little story like this.... It shows the same observation
of Manx character, and much of the same artistic
skill."--Philadelphia Times.

THE STORY OF THE WEST SERIES.

Edited by Ripley Hitchcock.

"There is a vast extent of territory lying between the Missouri
River and the Pacific coast which has barely been skimmed over so
far. That the conditions of life therein are undergoing changes
little short of marvelous will be understood when one recalls the
fact that the first white male child born in Kansas is still living
there; and Kansas is by no means one of the newer States.
Revolutionary indeed has been the upturning of the old condition of
affairs, and little remains thereof, and less will remain as each
year goes by, until presently there will be only tradition of the
Sioux and Comanches, the cowboy life, the wild horse, and the
antelope. Histories, many of them, have been written a
