The following notices of the above works give a critical estimate of the
authors and their productions:
STEVEN LAWRENCE YEOMAN. A Novel. By Mrs. Edwards. One
volume, octavo. Illustrated. Cloth, $2.00; paper, $1.25.
“The public verdict has already been passed, and has given her a front
rank among living novelists.”
—Christian Freeman.
“It is a work of no small merit, and teaches a most excellent moral.”
—Galesburg Free Press.
“There is something so natural in it all, so like `real life.”'
—Advocate.
“With the exception of `George Eliot,' there is not one among the many
women writers of England who might not be proud of having written `Steven
Lawrence.”'
—New York Citizen.
CIPHER. A Novel. By Jane G. Austin. One volume, octavo. Illustrated.
Cloth, $1.50; paper, $1.
“Cipher” reminds us in a vivid manner of the weird imagination and constructive
ingenuity of Poe, with a touch here and there of the subtler psychological
insight of Hawthorne.
PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE. A Novel. By Charles Reade, Author
of “Foul Play,” “Griffith Gaunt,” etc. One vol. octavo. Illustrated. Cloth.
SUSAN FIELDING. A Novel. By Mrs. Edwards, Author of “Archie
Lovell” and “Steven Lawrence Yeoman.” One volume, octavo. Cloth,
$2.00; paper, $1.25.
ARCHIE LOVELL. A Novel. By Mrs. Edwards. One volume octavo.
Illustrated. Cloth, $1.75; paper, $1.
“Mrs. Edwards is an artist. She has the dramatic instinct; she can delineate
a man or woman after nature—without caricature; hence the reality of her
impersonations and the vital interest of her stories. Who can forget Archie
Lovell? We seem to have known her personally; her dress, her manners, her
talk, her looks, her very nature are distinctly familiar.”
—H. T. Tuckerman, in
Boston Transcript.
WAITING FOR THE VERDICT. A Novel. By Mrs. R. H. Davis,
Author of “Life in the Iron Mills,” “Margret Howth,” etc. One volume,
octavo. Illustrated. Cloth, $2.
