ERNDON'S INCOME.

A NOVEL.

BY HELEN CAMPBELL.

AUTHOR OF "THE WHAT-TO-DO CLUB."

One volume. 16mo. Cloth. $1.50.

"Confirmed novel-readers who have regarded fiction as created for
amusement and luxury alone, lay down this book with a new and serious
purpose in life. The social scientist reads it, and finds the solution
of many a tangled problem; the philanthropist finds in it direction
and counsel. A novel written with a purpose, of which never for an
instant does the author lose sight, it is yet absorbing in its
interest. It reveals the narrow motives and the intrinsic selfishness
of certain grades of social life; the corruption of business methods;
the 'false, fairy gold,' of fashionable charities, and 'advanced'
thought. Margaret Wentworth is a typical New England girl, reflective,
absorbed, full of passionate and repressed intensity under a quiet and
apparently cold exterior. The events that group themselves about her
life are the natural result of such a character brought into contact
with real life. The book cannot be too widely read."--_Boston
Traveller._

"If the 'What-to-do Club' was clever, this is decidedly more so. It is
a powerful story, and is evidently written in some degree, we cannot
quite say how great a degree, from fact. The personages of the story
are very well drawn,--indeed, 'Amanda Briggs' is as good as anything
American fiction has produced. We fancy we could pencil on the margin
the real names of at least half the characters. It is a book for the
wealthy to read that they may know something that is required of them,
because it does not ignore the difficulties in their way, and
especially does not overlook the differences which social standing
puts between class and class. It is a deeply interesting story
considered as mere fiction, one of the best which has lately appeared.
We hope the authoress will go on in a path where she has shown herself
so capable."--_The Churchman._

"In Mrs. Campbell's novel we have a work that is not to be judged by
ordinary standards. The story holds the reader's interest by its
realistic pictures of the local life around us, by its constant and
progressive action, and by the striking dramatic quality of scenes and
incidents, described in a style clear, connected, and harmonious. The
