UND THE RED LAMP_. _Being Facts and Fancies of Medical Life_. "A strikingly realistic and decidedly original contribution to modern literature."-_Boston Saturday Evening Gazette_. _THE STARK MUNRO LETTERS_. Being a Series of Twelve Letters written by STARK MUNRO, M. B., to his friend and former fellow-student, Herbert Swanborough, of Lowell, Massachusetts, during the years 1881-1884. "Cullingworth.... a much more interesting creation than Sherlock Holmes, and I pray Dr. Doyle to give us more of him."--_Richard le Gallienne, in the London Star_. By S. R. CROCKETT. Uniform edition. Each, 12mo, cloth, $1.50. _THE STANDARD BEARER_. An Historical Romance. "Mr. Crockett's book is distinctly one of _the_ books of the year.

His Progress and Adventures._ Illustrated. "A masterpiece which Mark Twain himself has never rivaled.... If there ever was an ideal character in fiction it is this heroic ragamuffin."--_London Daily Chronicle_. "In no one of his books does Mr. Crockett give us a brighter or more graphic picture of contemporary Scotch life than in 'Cleg Kelly.' ... It is one of the great books."--_Boston Daily Advertiser_. _BOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT_. Third edition. "Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that thrill and burn....
