#THE MINISTER'S CHARGE.# By W. D. HOWELLS, author of "The Rise of
Silas Lapham," "Indian Summer," etc. $1.50.

"In this great novel of the people Henry James finds that Mr. Howells
touches high-water mark; and sees an important and valuable work in
this minute and subtle registering of the heavy-witted countryman's
slow development under city conditions. However that may be,
Howells's pure, inimitable fun is enough to carry any story he may
write. Like all true fun, this has a most searching pathos all the
time just at hand; and never is the real dignity of character of this
actual Yankee forgotten or trifled with."--_Boston Transcript._
