THE STORY OF THE MINE.
_As Illustrated by the Great Comstock Lode of Nevada._
_By_ CHARLES HOWARD SHINN.
Mr. Shinn writes from ... such acquaintance as could only be gained by
familiarity with the men and the places described, ... and by the
fullest appreciation of the pervading spirit of the Western mining camps
of yesterday and to-day. Thus his book has a distinctly human interest,
apart from its value as a treatise on things material.--_Review of
Reviews._
THE STORY OF THE INDIAN.
_By_ GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL, _author of "Pawnee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot
Lodge Tales," etc._
Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a
profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in
thought, feeling, and culture. Only long association with Indians can
enable a white man measurably to comprehend their thoughts and enter
into their feelings. Such association has been Mr. Grinnell's.--_New
York Sun._

analysis of the evolution of a woman's mind than is given in
Wilhelmina Galbraith; but "Windyhaugh" is not a book in which there
is only one "star" and a crowd of "supers." Every character is
limned with a conscientious care that bespeaks the true artist, and
the analytical interest of the novel is rigorously kept in its
proper place and is only one element in a delightful story. It is a
supremely interesting and wholesome book, and in an age when
excellence of technique has reached a remarkable level, "Windyhaugh"
compels admiration for its brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a
large canvas, but she has a true sense of proportion.--_Blackwood's
Magazine._
For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for arrival
at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such a book as
"Windyhaugh" must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and brilliancy.
It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the end and that it
