Illustrated "...In breadth of canvas, massing of dramatic effect, depth of feeling, and rare wholesomeness of spirit, it has seldom, if ever, been surpassed by an American romance."--_Chicago Tribune_. The Crossing Illustrated "'The Crossing' is a thoroughly interesting book, packed with exciting adventure and sentimental incident, yet faithful to historical fact both in detail and in spirit."--_The Dial_. The Crisis Illustrated "It is a charming love story, and never loses its interest ... The intense political bitterness, the intense patriotism of both parties, are shown understandingly."--_Evening Telegraph_, Philadelphia. Coniston Illustrated "'Coniston' has a lighter, gayer spirit and a deeper, tenderer touch than Mr. Churchill has ever achieved before... It is one of the truest and finest transcripts of modern American life thus far achieved in our fiction."--_Chicago Record-Herald_. THE MACMILLAN COMPANY Publishers 64-66 Fifth Avenue New York * * * * * * By EDEN PHILLPOTTS The Three Brothers _Cloth, $1.50_ "'The Three Brothers' seems to us the best yet of the long series of these remarkable Dartmoor tales. If Shakespeare had written novels we can think that some of his pages would have been like some of these. Here certainly is language, turn of humor, philosophical play, vigor of incident such as might have come straight from Elizabeth's day.... The story has its tragedy, but this is less dire, more reasonable than the tragedy is in too many of Mr. Phillpotts's other tales. The book is full of a very moving interest, and it is agreeable and beautiful."--_The New York Sun_. By Miss ELLEN GLASGOW The Romance of a Plain Man _$1.50_ "From the first she has had the power to tell a strong story, full of human interest, but as her work has continued it has shown an increasing mellowness and sympathy. The atmosphere of this book is fascinating indeed."--_Chicago Tribune_. By FRANK DANBY The Heart of a Child _Cloth, $1.50_ BEING PASSAGES FROM THE EARLY LIFE OF SALLY SNAPE, LADY KIDDERMINSTER "'Frank Danby' has found herself. It is full of the old wit, the old humor, the old epigram, and the old knowledge
