THE LION SKIN

And the Lover Hunt; by Charles de Bernard. 12mo, $1.00.

"It is not often the novel-reader can find on his bookseller's shelf a publication so full
of incidents and good humor, and at the same time so provocative of honest thought."

National (Worcester, Mass.) Ægis.

"It is full of incidents; and the reader becomes so interested in the principal personages
in the work, that he is unwilling to lay the book down until he has learned their
whole history."

Boston Olive Branch.

"It is refreshing to meet occasionally with a well-published story which is written for
a story, and for nothing else—which is not tipped with the snapper of a moral, or
loaded in the handle with a pound of philanthropy, or an equal quantity of leaden philosophy."

Springfield Republican.
