$1.50 An exceedingly interesting romance of the revolution of 1848, the scene of which is laid at the courts of St. Petersburg, Moscow, and Vienna, and in the armies of the Austrians and Hungarians. It follows the fortunes of three young Hungarian noblemen, whose careers are involved in the historical incidents of the time. The story is told with all of Jokai's dash and vigor, and is exceedingly interesting. This romance has been translated for us directly from the Hungarian, and never has been issued hitherto in English. Slaves of Chance. By FERRIER LANGWORTHY. With five portraits of the heroines, from original drawings by Hiel. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 350 pages. $1.50 As a study of some of the realities of London life, this novel is one of notable merit. The slaves of chance, and, it might be added, of temptation, are five pretty girls, the daughters of a pretty widow, whose means are scarcely sufficient, even living as they do, in a quiet way and in a quiet London street, to make both ends meet. Dealing, as he does, with many sides of London life, the writer sketches varied types of character, and his creations are cleverly defined. He tells an interesting tale with delicacy and in a fresh, attractive style. Her Boston Experiences. By MARGARET ALLSTON (nom de plume). With eighteen full-page illustrations from drawings by Frank O. Small, and from photographs taken especially for the book. Small 12mo, cloth decorative, gilt top, 225 pages. $1.25 A most interesting and vivacious tale, dealing with society life at the Hub, with perhaps a tinge of the flavor of Vagabondia. The story has appeared serially in _The Ladies' Home Journal_, where it was received with marked success. We are not as yet at liberty to give the true name of the author, who hides her identity under the pen name, Margaret Allston, but she is well known in literature. Memory Street. By MARTHA BAKER DUNN. Author of "The Sleeping Beauty," etc. Library 12mo, cloth decorative, 300 pages. $1.25 An exceedingly beautiful story, delineating New England life and character. The style and interest will compare favorably with the work of such writers as Mary E. Wilkins, Kate Douglas Wiggin, and Sarah Orne Jewett. The author has been a constant contributor to the leading magazines, and the interest of her previous work will assure
