s a satisfaction to have read.--_Boston Journal._ Its easy style, its natural characters, and its general tone of earnestness assure its author a high rank among contemporary novelists.--_Chicago Tribune._ MONA MACLEAN. _Medical Student. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00._ A pleasure in store for you if you have not read this volume. The author has given us a thoroughly natural series of events, and drawn her characters like an artist. It is the story of a woman's struggles with her own soul. She is a woman of resource, a strong woman, and her career is interesting from beginning to end.--_New York Herald._ "Mona Maclean" is a bright, healthful, winning story.--_New York Mail and Express._ A high-bred comedy.--_New York Times._ FELLOW TRAVELLERS. _12mo. Paper, 50 cents. Cloth, $1.00._ The stories are well told; the literary style is above the average, and the character drawing is to be particularly praised. ... Altogether, the little book is a model of its kind, and its reading will give pleasure to people of taste.--_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette._ "Fellow Travellers" is a collection of very brightly written tales, all dealing, as the title implies, with the mutual relations of people thrown together casually while travelling.--_London Saturday Review._ "_A Book that will Live._" DAVID HARUM. _A Story of American Life. By_ EDWARD NOYES WESTCOTT. _12mo. Cloth, $1.50._ Thoroughly a pure, original, and fresh American type. David Harum is a character whose qualities of mind and heart, eccentricities, and dry humor will win for his creator noble distinction. Buoyancy, life, and cheerfulness are dominant notes. In its vividness and force the story is a strong, fresh picture of American life. Original and true, it is worth the same distinction which is accorded the _genre_ pictures of peculiar types and places sketched by Mr. George W. Cable, Mr. Joel Chandler Harris, Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, Miss Wilkins, Miss Jewett, Mr. Garland, Miss French, Miss Murfree, Mr. Gilbert Parker, Mr. Owen Wister, and Bret Harte.--_Boston Herald._ Mr. Westcott has done for central New York what Mr. Cable, Mr. Page, and Mr. Harris have done for different parts of the South, and what Miss Jewett and Miss Wilkins are doing for New England, and Mr. Hamlin Garland for the West.... "David Harum" is a masterly delineation of an American type.... Here is life with all its joys and sorrows.... David Harum
