We have often wondered why the famous legend of El Dorado had never
found its way into romance. Though the novel of adventure is once more in
vogue, and although the cry is general that all possible themes have long
ago been exhausted this still was left untouched; the story tellers seemed to
have thought the quest as hopeless as the adventurers found it. The
omission has now been made good; the hidden city has been found.—
Macmillan's Magazine, London.—(Extract from a thirteen-page review.)
This is one of the best books of adventure that has appeared in the last
year or so.—Hartford Post.
En Route
By J. K. HUYSMANS. Translated, with a prefatory note, by C. KEGAN
PAUL. Second edition. Crown 8vo, $1.50.
We are inclined to think it not only the greatest novel of the day, but one
of the most important books of our quarter of the century.—The Bookman
(extract from five-page review).
The Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, in a letter to the translator, says: "It places
the claim of the 'Route' through mysticism higher, I think, than any other
book I have read; and by this fact alone it imposes modesty and reserve
upon all critics from outside and from a distance."
Are indeed literary gems. * * * We are glad to have found these Mexican
opals; they are to us gems of value and we thank the author.—Boston
Times.
Now and then a tale flames like a field of poppies in windless sunshine
—such, for instance, as these Mexican tales which have just appeared
bearing an unfamiliar name.—The Bookman, New York.
In them all, no worse local solecism than the dropping of a few accents.
The like hardly happens twice in a decade. * * * Are unmistakably
interesting.—Critic (New York).
Charles Dexter Allen writes as follows in the Hartford Post: "Before one
gets to the story itself, he must stop and admire the handsome setting the
book has received. Bound in dark blue, with a bold cover design in gold, it
has an especially designed title page by George Wharton Edwards, and an
excellent frontispiece by the same artist. Its title, 'The Lure of Fame,' will
suggest something of the thread of the story, but one is not thereby prepared
for so tender and sympathetic a picture as those pages reveal, or so close an
analysis of human feelings and experiences."
Nephelé
We urge so rare a treat as its pages impart on the attention of our readers.
—The Bookman (New York).
At the very first sentence the reader realizes that he is breathing a rarer
air than usually emanates from the printed page, and at the very last
sentence he realizes how he has kept on the heights. * * * Whatever the
cause, the achievement is the sort that revives one's faith in that quality
which, for want of a better word, we know as inspiration.—New York Sun.
The volume consists of the following: An Island Memory, The South Sea
Savant, In the Old Beach-Combing Days, Miss Malleson's Rival, Prescott
of Naura, Chester's "Cross," Hollis's Debt: a tale of the Northwest Pacific,
The Arm of Luno Capal, In a Samoan Village, the "Black-Birdes," In the
Evening, The Great Crushing at Mount Sugar-Bag: a Queensland Mining
Tale, The Shadows of the Dead, "For we were Friends Always," Nikoa, The
Strange White Woman of Maduro, The Obstinacy of Mrs. Tatton, The
Treasure of Don Bruno.
The Commercial Advertiser, New York, under the title of "A Revel in
Spookdom," writes in part as follows: "What is there better for a real,
clammy, irresponsible thrill than a volume of ghost stories? You open the
book anywhere and the breath of chilly, graveyard air that comes from the
pages prepares you at once for the refreshing horrors you are about to enjoy.
At least that was my experience when I opened 'A Stable for Nightmares,'
by J. Sheridan Le Fanu. The cover is of the hue of cold 'Welsh rabbit,'
suggestive of awful indigestion and gaunt nightmares that serve to make
any ghost stories probable. The tales are of various complexions, but all
imbued with the 'pobbiness' of new-made corpses that it so useful an
element in making effective preternatural narratives... Everyone of the
eleven stories is a splendid example of weirdness... If you want ghost
stories fresh from the charnel house, buy this book for 75 cents and you will
find it a profitable investment."
As the story progresses one's interest grows continually and the book
may be called not merely readable, but genuinely interesting.—Hartford
Post.
The old saying, "too many cooks spoil the broth," does not hold true in
this instance, for the little book is really enjoyable.—Boston Transcript.
This dashing romance of the sea is held by some readers to contain Mr.
Russell's best work. In it will be found the oft-quoted description of a naval
engagement.
A Noble Haul
We have given this superb sea classic a handsome dress, in keeping with
its character, and recommend it to the public as an unusually interesting
story.
The author has taken pains to represent truthfully and effectively the life
and times of Mary, Queen of Scots, the Court intrigues of the period, the
plots and counterplots of the nobles. The book is not a prosy history with a
little conversation added, but a stirring novel full of action, and will
undoubtedly rank as one of Mr. Muddock's most popular works.
A Bride's Experiment
(Second edition). By CHAS. J. MANSFORD, author of "Shafts from an
Eastern Quiver," "Bully, Fag and Hero," etc. Holland Library, paper, 50
cents; cloth, $1.00.
Updated editions will replace the previous one—the old editions will
be renamed.
