rance of Vivette. "Mr. Burgess displays infinite zest and exhaustless resources of invention, and hurries his readers breathlessly along, from one astonishing and audacious situation to another, till the book is flung down at finis with a chuckle of appreciative laughter."--_The Literary News._ Cloth, 6-3/4 x 4-1/8 in. =$1.25= * * * * * BY S.
