os, strong, simple and vivid, and

A remarkable and thrilling romance of immortality, illustrating by an

_THE PRELATE._ By ISAAC HENDERSON. 12mo. $1.50.
A story of the American colony and native society in Rome. The situations

that has been offered by an American author for years.
_INDIAN SUMMER._ By W.D. HOWELLS, Author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham," &c.
1 vol. 12 mo. $1.50.
"Mr. Howells's new story is in his pleasantest vein, full of his quiet
humor clothed in the neatest expressions. It is international; the contrast
of American and foreign ways runs through it, and Mr. Howells has added the
contrast of the old and the new Americanism. The hero is a Western
journalist, a Mugwump, much given to banter of the American sort."--_The
Nation._

the _Atlantic_, _Harpers_, _The Galaxy_, &c., will be found like
"Somebody's Neighbors," to show "that profound insight into Puritan
character, and that remarkable command of Yankee dialect, in which Mrs.
Cooke has but one equal, and no superior. These exquisite chronicles are
full of high local color, pathos and piquancy, and their perusal is
attended with alternate tears and smiles. Their narration is vigorous and
spirited, sparkling in all points, and outlined with rare dramatic skill."
