l upon him to bear witness to one of the greatest, the most cruel acts of injustice that Paris ever committed. THE END. [Illustration: Publishers mark] * * * * * =George Sand's Works in English.= MAUPRAT. ANTONIA. THE BAGPIPERS. MONSIEUR SYLVESTRE. THE SNOW MAN. NANON. THE MILLER OF ANGIBAULT. As to "Mauprat," if there were any doubts as to George Sand's power, it would forever set them at rest.--_Harper's Monthly._ =12mo. Half Russia, uniform with Balzac's Novels. Each, $1.50.= * * * * * =Little Classics, by George Sand.= FADETTE. FRANCOIS THE WAIF. THE DEVIL'S POOL. THE MASTER MOSAIC WORKERS. Translated by Jane Minot Sedgwick, Ellery Sedgwick, and Charlotte C. Johnston. With etched frontispieces by Abot and an etched portrait of Titian. =16mo. Cloth, extra, gilt top. Each, $1.25.= Studies of rustic life, of which "La Petite Fadette," "Francois le Champi," and "La Mare au Diable" are the chief, and which some of her admirers regard as her greatest works.--_George Saintsbury, in Chambers' Cyclopaedia._ No description is needed of works so well known as "La Petite Fadette," "La Mare au Diable," and "Francois le Champi." Like Wordsworth, with the inward eye she sees into the life of things.--_Encyclopaedia Britannica._ "The Master Mosaic Workers" is _one of the most delightful of historical novels_, and gives a vivid picture of the life in Venice at the time when Titian, Tintoretto, and Giorgione were in their zenith, and when the famous mosaics which still adorn St. Mark's were being made.--_Literary World._ * * * * * =George Sand's Convent Life.= Translated from "L'Histoire de ma Vie" by Maria Ellery McKaye. These brief chapters from a fragmentary autobiography of the famous French author have been translated from the published memoirs, and are much more familiar in France than here. They relate to George Sand's girlhood, and cover only a few years, and yet are written with that vivid and picturesque charm peculiar to all her writings. They show us, with much force and interest, the kind of life which young girls led in convents seventy years ago.--_N. Y. Times._ =16mo. Cloth. With portrait. $1.00.= * * * * * LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY, PUBLISHERS, 254 WASHINGTON STREET, BOSTON. =The New Library Moliere.=
