novels. In spite of its title and origin, a collection of Mr. Du Maurier's sketches covers any society; and in looking it over one is only too content that the artist chose to exploit a society which affords the beauty and elegance of the Du Maurier type.--_N. Y. Sun._ The kindly humor of Du Maurier, the quiet incisiveness of his satire, and his inimitable skill at the portrayal of social types are delightfully manifested in this series of one hundred plates, ending up with the melodramatic death-bed scene of Trilby.--_Boston Beacon._ IN BOHEMIA WITH DU MAURIER By Felix Moscheles. With Sixty-three Illustrations by George du Maurier. 8vo, Cloth, Gilt Tops and Uncut Edges, $2 50. For these, and for a few references to the originals of the characters in the novel, and to the hypnotic experiments in which Du Maurier was interested in his youth, the book will doubtless be bought. But he must be a dull person who does not find another charm in Mr. Moscheles's artless narrative, mostly about nothing at all, or about the nothings that make up the joy of living to madcap boys.--_N. Y. Mail and Express._ It possesses the literary quality that marked his more mature illustrations, and evinces the quality of reticence that preserved his humor from becoming caricature. He has often been compared to Thackeray; this work suggests Hood, and it would be interesting to know how much he cared for his English predecessors and assimilated.--_Philadelphia Press._ Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York _The above works are for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent by the publishers by mail, postage prepaid, on receipt of the price._ End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Martian, by George Du Maurier *** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE MARTIAN *** ***** This file should be named 27400.txt or 27400.zip ***** This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/2/7/4/0/27400/ Produced by Audrey Longhurst, Christina and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
