l., large 16mo, cloth =$1.00= A bright and clever story of a summer on the coast of Maine, fresh, breezy, and readable from the first to the last page. The narrative describes the summer outing of a Mr. Merrithew and his family. The characters are all honest, pleasant people, whom we are glad to know. We part from them with the same regret with which we leave a congenial party of friends. Cavalleria Rusticana; or, Under the Shadow of Etna. Translated from the Italian of Giovanni Verga, by NATHAN HASKELL DOLE. Illustrated by Etheldred B. Barry. 1 vol., 16mo, cloth =$0.50= Giovanni Verga stands at present as unquestionably the most prominent of the Italian novelists. His supremacy in the domain of the short story and in the wider range of the romance is recognized both at home and abroad. The present volume contains a selection from the most dramatic and characteristic of his Sicilian tales. Verga is himself a native of Sicily, and his knowledge of that wonderful country, with its poetic and yet superstitious peasantry, is absolute. Such pathos, humor, variety, and dramatic quality are rarely met in a single volume. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE CONTINENTAL DRAGOON*** ******* This file should be named 30589.txt or 30589.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/3/0/5/8/30589 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
