ry good story,
and Mr. Moore has never written anything else so chivalrous to man or
woman."

THE IMPUDENT COMEDIAN AND OTHERS

A volume of capital short stories relating to seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries characters--Nell Gwynn, Kitty Olive, Oliver
Goldsmith, Dr. Johnson, and David Garrick. They are bright, witty and
dramatic.

The person who has a proper eye to the artistic in fiction will possess
them ere another day shall dawn.--_Scranton Tribune_.

Full of the mannerisms of the stage and thoroughly Bohemian in
atmosphere.--_Boston Herald_.

The celebrated actresses whom he takes for his heroines sparkle with
feminine liveliness of mind.--_New York Tribune_.

A collection of short stories which has a flash of the picturesqueness,
the repartee, the dazzle of the age of Garrick and Goldsmith, and Peg
Wellington and Kitty Clive.--_Hartford Courant_.

Mr. F. Frankfort Moore had a capital idea when he undertook to throw
into story form some of the traditional incidents of the history of the
stage in its earlier English days. Nell Gwynn, Kitty Clive, Mrs.
Siddons, Mrs. Abbington and others are cleverly depicted, with much of
the swagger and flavor of their times.--_The Outlook_.

12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

By MARIA LOUISE POOL

A GOLDEN SORROW

This novel was running serially in _Godey's Magazine_ at the time of
Miss Pool's death. It will not, however, be completed in that
periodical, but will be issued at once in book form. It is a story of
love and adventure in St. Augustine, much more exciting than Miss
Pool's stories usually are, but with all her delightful sense of humor.

16mo. Cloth. $1.25.

IN BUNCOMBE COUNTY

"In Buncombe County" is bubbling over with merriment--one could not be
blue with such a companion for an hour.--_Boston Times_.

It is brimming over with humor, and the reader who can follow the
fortunes of the redbird alone, who flutters through the first few
chapters, and not be moved to long laughter, must be sadly insensitive.
But laugh as he may, he will always revert to the graver vein which
unobtrusively runs from the first to the last page in the book. He
will lay down the narrative of almost grotesque adventure with a keen
remembrance of its tenderness and pathos.--_New York Tribune_.
