Part 19
They are all interesting, full of careful studies of life and nature, written wholly without pretence or affectation, with a feeling of sweet human sympathy, gilded by pleasant touches of humor.--OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, writing of Miss Wilkins' stories.
JANE FIELD. A Novel. $1 25.
This is one of the cleverest and best-thought-out books of the season.--_Black and White._ Is an exceptionally clever book; every line tells.--_Guardian._
PEMBROKE. $1 50.
Miss Mary Wilkins has fairly surpassed her predecessors in this kind of fiction.--_The Times._ This is the gem of Miss Wilkins's very remarkable production.--_The Spectator._
MADELON. $1 25.
YOUNG LUCRETIA, and other Stories. Illustrated. $1 25.
We know of no one who can write a short story with such art and simplicity as Miss Wilkins, and every tale is invested with a charm and a pathos which it would be hard to match.--_Birmingham Daily Gazette._

CARDIGAN. Illustrated. $1 50.
A rattling good Indian story of the days just before the Revolution. The descriptions of frontier life and Indian fighting remind one of Stephen Crane at his best. The love affair between Cardigan and "Silver Heels" is one of the most original in recent fiction.
The picture of Pittsburg fashionable society in 1774, the balls, races, taverns, diversions, the intrigue of Lord Dunmore, the elopement and pursuit, the savagery of Indian warfare, the treachery of the Tories, are of the most exciting and wonderful character.--_Pittsburg Post._
THE CONSPIRATORS. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, $1 50.
There is an unmistakable brilliancy about "The Conspirators"; the rollicking spirits of the hero, the man who tells the story, are infectious, and his ardor in love is delightfully romantic.--_Chicago Tribune._
LORRAINE. Illustrated. Cloth, $1 25.
"Lorraine" will appeal irresistibly to those who appreciate the best type of adventure story, and is to be further commended for its historical color and for the delicacy of its love element.
Of this novel _The Interior_ says: "A more absorbing story could scarcely be imagined; there is no better tale among recent publications than 'Lorraine.'"

Hardy has an exquisite vein of humor.... He has a reserve force, so to speak, of imagination, of invention, which keeps the interest undiminished always, though the personages in the drama may be few and their adventures unremarkable. But most of all he has shown the pity and the beauty of human life, most of all he has enlarged the boundaries of sympathy and charity.--_New York Tribune._
