vil War._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "In 'The Little Regiment' we have again studies of the volunteers waiting impatiently to fight and fighting, and the impression of the contest as a private soldier hears, sees, and feels it, is really wonderful. The reader has no privileges. He must, it seems, take his place in the ranks, and stand in the mud, wade in the river, fight, yell, swear, and sweat with the men. He has some sort of feeling, when it is all over, that he has been doing just these things. This sort of writing needs no praise. It will make its way to the hearts of men without praise."--_New York Times._ "Told with a _verve_ that brings a whiff of burning powder to one's nostrils.... In some way he blazons the scene before our eyes, and makes us feel the very impetus of bloody war."--_Chicago Evening Post._ _MAGGIE: A GIRL OF THE STREETS._ 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents. "By writing 'Maggie' Mr. Crane has made for himself a permanent place in literature.... Zola himself scarcely has surpassed its tremendous portrayal of throbbing, breathing, moving life."--_New York Mail and Express._ "Mr. Crane's story should be read for the fidelity with which it portrays a life that is potent on this island, along with the best of us. It is a powerful portrayal, and, if somber and repellent, none the less true, none the less freighted with appeal to those who are able to assist in righting wrongs."--_New York Times._ _THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. An Episode of the American Civil War._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "Never before have we had the seamy side of glorious war so well depicted.... The action of the story throughout is splendid, and all aglow with color, movement, and vim. The style is as keen and bright as a sword-blade, and a Kipling has done nothing better in this line."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "There is nothing in American fiction to compare with it.... Mr. Crane has added to American literature something that has never been done before, and that is, in its own peculiar way, inimitable."--_Boston Beacon._ "A truer and completer picture of war than either Tolstoy or Zola."--_London New Review._ * * * * * New York: D. APPLETON AND COMPANY. D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS. MISS F. F. MONTRESOR'S BOOKS. _FALSE COIN OR TRUE?_ 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "One of the few true novels of the day.... It is powerful, and touched with a delicate insight and strong impress
