PHILOSOPHERS AND ACTRESSES.

By Arsene Houssaye. With beautifully-engraved Portraits of
Voltaire and Mad. Parabère. Two vols., 12mo, price $2.50.

"We have here the most charming book we have read these many days,—so
powerful in its fascination that we have been held for hours from our imperious labors
or needful slumbers, by the entrancing influence of its pages. One of the most desirable
fruits of the prolific field of literature of the present season."

—Portland Eclectic.

"Two brilliant and fascinating—we had almost said, bewitching—volumes, combining
information and amusement, the lightest gossip, with solid and serviceable wisdom."

—Yankee Blade.

"It is a most admirable book, full of originality, wit, information and philosophy.
Indeed, the vividness of the book is extraordinary. The scenes and descriptions are
absolutely life-like."

—Southern Literary Gazette.

"The works of the present writer are the only ones the spirit of whose rhetoric does
justice to those times, and in fascination of description and style equal the fascinations
they descant upon."

—New Orleans Commercial Bulletin.

"The author is a brilliant writer, and serves up his sketches in a sparkling manner."

Christian Freeman.
