rength and weakness of a man, which are at fierce warfare within the same breast: contending against each other, as it were, the one to raise him to fame and power, the other to drag him down to degradation and shame. Never in the whole range of literature have we seen the struggle between these forces for supremacy over the man more powerfully, more realistically delineated, than Mr. Caine pictures it."--_Boston Home Journal._ "'The Manxman' is one of the most notable novels of the year, and is unquestionably destined to perpetuate the fame of Hall Caine for many a year to come."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._ "The author exhibits a mastery of the elemental passions of life that places hum high among the foremost of present writers of fiction."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._ _THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of Man._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50. "Hall Caine has already given us some very strong and fine work, and 'The Deemster' is a story of unusual power.... Certain passages and chapters have an intensely dramatic grasp, and hold the fascinated reader with a force rarely excited nowadays in literature."--_The Critic._ "One of the strongest novels which has appeared for many a day."--_San Francisco Chronicle._ "Fascinates the mind like the gathering and bursting of a storm."--_Illustrated London News._ "Deserves to be ranked among the remarkable novels of the day."--_Chicago Times._ "Remarkably powerful, and is undoubtedly one of the strongest works of fiction of our time. Its conception and execution are both very fine."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._ _CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00. "A new departure by this author. Unlike his previous works, this little tale is almost wholly humorous, with, however, a current of pathos underneath. It is not always that an author can succeed equally well in tragedy and in comedy, but it looks as though Mr. Hall Caine would be one of the exceptions."--_London Literary World._ "It is pleasant to meet the author of 'The Deemster' in a brightly humorous little story like this.... It shows the same observation of Manx character, and much of the same artistic skill."--_Philadelphia Times._ * * * * * New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. * * * * * NOVELS BY MAARTEN MAARTENS. _THE GREATER GLORY. A Story of High Life._ By MAARTE
