._ "All her books are written with talent and a woman's true feeling."--_U. S. Gazette._ "It is full of deep feeling, tenderness, pure feminine sentiment and moral truth."--_Albany Knickerbocker._ II. NATHALIE. Two Parts. 12mo. Paper Covers, 75 cents; cloth, $1. "A work of extraordinary merit, with a far deeper design than merely to arouse, it attempts to solve some of the subtle problems of human nature. Some of the wisest lessons in life are taught in the work, while the artistic skill with which the narrative is managed imparts a vivid interest. The author might be, with a stronger infusion of the poetic element, another Joanna Baillie; and no one will read the work without a high estimate of her dramatic powers and her deep insight."--_Evangelist._ III. MADELEINE. One Volume. 12mo. Paper Covers, 50 cents; cloth, 75 cents. "A charming story, gracefully told. Its intrinsic interest as a narrative, and the tenderness of its pathos will win for it many readers."--_Boston Traveller._ "The character of Madeleine, the heroine, is beautifully drawn and powerfully portrayed. Miss Kavanagh is most known by her excellent novel of 'Nathalie.' This book possesses no less interest, though of a very different kind."--_Courier and Enq._ IV. WOMEN OF CHRISTIANITY. One Volume. 12mo. Cloth, 75 cents. "The design and spirit of this volume are alike admirable. Miss Kavanagh divides her work into four periods; the first relates the deeds of holy women under the Roman empire; the second tells us of the fruits of faith in the middle ages; the third is devoted to the women of the seventeenth century; and the fourth to those of the eighteenth and present centuries. We have read many of these records of other days, as told by Miss Kavanagh, and we are sure that the influence upon every Christian-minded person cannot but be for good, if he will meditate upon what our holy religion is every day doing. The volume is well worthy a place in every Christian family."--_Ban. of the Cross._ * * * * * _D. APPLETON & CO.'S PUBLICATIONS._ THE GREAT KENTUCKY NOVEL. D. APPLETON & COMPANY HAVE JUST PUBLISHED Tempest and Sunshine; or, Life in Kentucky. BY MRS. MARY J. HOLMES. One Volume, 12mo. Paper covers, 75 cents; cloth, $1.
