By CUTCLIFFE HYNE.
”It has the dash and tinge of reality that makes you feel as if you were in the midst of it all.”--_Detroit Free Press._
”The many readers who followed with bated breath the wild adventures of Captain Kettle in the book named for him, will welcome Cutcliffe Hyne's new collection of tales dealing with that remarkable sea dog. The volume is well called 'A Master of Fortune.'”--_Philadelphia Press._

THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN KETTLE.
By CUTCLIFFE HYNE.
The best sea story since the days of Marryat. Captain Kettle is a devil-may-care sea dog, half pirate and half preacher. The author carries him through many hairbreadth escapes and makes him a character that will live long in the annals of fiction. The success of this book is marvelous.
THE MULLIGANS. A Novel.
By EDWARD HARRIGAN.
The _New York World_ says: ”Mr. Harrigan gave to his Mulligan dramas the most distinctly typical character plays which have ever been seen on the native stage. They were studied and displayed straight from the life of New York and their popularity was unbounded. His book is one of the most generally interesting of the new season's output.”
_It is a marvelously entertaining novel, possessing a keenness of wit and humor unsurpa.s.sed by any recent work. All the characters stand out, as true to life, as natural and as vivid as if portrayed by d.i.c.kens._
NORMAN HOLT, a Story of the Army of the c.u.mberland.
By GENERAL (Capt.) CHARLES KING.
”No more charming historic war story has ever been written. It is Captain King's best, and bearing, as it does, on the great battle of Mission Ridge, although the story is woven in fiction, it adds an invaluable record of that gigantic contest between the two great armies.”
”The characters are real, their emotions natural, and the romance that is interwoven is delightful. It is wholesome and one of General King's best, if not his best book.”--_N. Y. Journal._
”From the first chapter to the last page the interest of the reader never f.a.gs. General King has written no more brilliant or stirring novel than 'Norman Holt.'”--_N. Y. Press._
