cate insight and strong impressions of life and character.... The author's theme is original, her treatment artistic, and the book is remarkable for its unflagging interest."--Philadelphia Record. "The tale never flags in interest, and once taken up will not be laid down until the last page is finished."--Boston Budget. "A well-written novel, with well-depicted characters and well-chosen scenes."--Chicago News. "A sweet, tender, pure, and lovely story."--Buffalo Commercial. THE ONE WHO LOOKED ON. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25. "A tale quite unusual, entirely unlike any other, full of a strange power and realism, and touched with a fine humor."--London World. "One of the most remarkable and powerful of the year's contributions, worthy to stand with Ian Maclaren's."--British Weekly. "One of the rare books which can be read with great pleasure and recommended without reservation. It is fresh, pure, sweet, and pathetic, with a pathos which is perfectly wholesome."--St. Paul Globe. "The story is an intensely human one, and it is delightfully told.... The author shows a marvelous keenness in character analysis, and a marked ingenuity in the development of her story."--Boston Advertiser. INTO THE HIGHWAYS AND HEDGES. 12mo. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00. "A touch of idealism, of nobility of thought and purpose, mingled with an air of reality and well-chosen expression, are the most notable features of a book that has not the ordinary defects of such qualities. With all its elevation of utterance and spirituality of outlook and insight it is wonderfully free from overstrained or exaggerated matter, and it has glimpses of humor. Most of the characters are vivid, yet there are restraint and sobriety in their treatment, and almost all are carefully and consistently evolved."--London Athenaeum. "'Into the Highways and Hedges' is a book not of promise only, but of high achievement. It is original, powerful, artistic, humorous. It places the author at a bound in the rank of those artists to whom we look for the skillful presentation of strong personal impressions of life and character."--London Daily News. "The pure idealism of 'Into the Highways and Hedges' does much to redeem modern fiction from the reproach it has brought upon itself.... The story is original, and told with great refinement."--Philadelphia Public Ledger. New York: D
