Part 14 (1/2)
What Dreams May Come. By Mrs. Gertrude Atherton.
”The interest of the story lies in its all-absorbing plot, its strong dramatic treatment, and the bold handling of one of the most difficult and least used subjects of literature.”--_Rochester Herald._
”There is good work and strong work in the book, and it is quite enough to make one hope it is not the last the auth.o.r.ess will write.”--_N. Y. Journalist._
Bella-Demonia. By SELINA DOLARO. Madame Dolaro's Posthumous Novel.
This work, founded on a drama by Madame Dolaro, shortly to be produced, is an historical novel of pure incident. It is composed of a series of startling dramatic situations, founded on facts not hitherto published in connection with the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-8, of which it is an accurate history of absorbing interest.
Mes Amours: Poems. Pa.s.sionate and Playful. By SELINA DOLARO.
”Some of them are from her own pen; she is the inspiration of the others. A few of the latter are really quite clever verses, but not nearly as bright as her annotation of them all.”--_N.
Y. Graphic._
”There is many a laugh to be had from reading the book.”--_Town Topics._
”These verses are full of spirit and life, and the merry mood sings between the lines like the contented streamlet between wind-swept hillsides.”--_Albany Journal._

”This book is well calculated to give young children just about the historical knowledge in that direction which their minds are prepared to absorb and retain.”--_Oswego Palladium._
His Way and Her Will. By FANNIE ATMAR MATHEWS.
”Is a novel of more than usual merit. Its characters are strong in word and action, and although it is a love story, its sentiment is manly, and not mawkish.”--_N. H. News._
”The characters are drawn with a firm and free hand, and the story has that symmetry of construction which shows the practical workman. The literary style is finished and graceful.”--_Baltimore News._
