_ROUND THE RED LAMP._ By A. CONAN DOYLE, author of "The White Company,"
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "The Refugees," etc. 12mo. Cloth,
$1.50.

The "Red Lamp," the trade-mark, as it were, of the English country
practitioner's office, is the central point of these dramatic stories of
professional life. There are no secrets for the surgeon, and, a surgeon
himself as well as a novelist, the author has made a most artistic use
of the motives and springs of action revealed to him in a field of which
he is the master.

"A volume of bright, clever sketches, ... an array of facts and fancies
of medical life, and contains some of the gifted author's best
work."--_London Daily News._

_A FLASH OF SUMMER._ By Mrs. W. K. CLIFFORD, author of "Love Letters of
a Worldly Woman," "Aunt Anne," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

as fresh water, and is so artistically done that it is only a second
thought that notices it."--_San Francisco Call._

_THE LILAC SUNBONNET. A Love Story._ By S. R. CROCKETT, author of "The

"A love story pure and simple, one of the old-fashioned, wholesome,
sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who
is merely a good and beautiful woman; and if any other love story half
so sweet has been written this year it has escaped us."--_New York
Times._

_MAELCHO._ By the Hon. EMILY LAWLESS, author of "Grania," "Hurrish,"
etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"A paradox of literary genius. It is not a history, and yet has more of
the stuff of history in it, more of the true national character and
fate, than any historical monograph we know. It is not a novel, and yet
fascinates us more than any novel."--_London Spectator._

_THE LAND OF THE SUN. Vistas Mexicanas._ By CHRISTIAN REID, author of
"The Land of the Sky," "A Comedy of Elopement," etc. Illustrated. 12mo.
Cloth, $1.75.

In this picturesque travel romance the author of "The Land of the Sky"
takes her characters from New Orleans to
