banks of the Avon. Gabriel and I had been up and down the land all
day, following her traces.

When we heard that she was found, we parted.

AN AUTHOR'S LOVE.

_Being the Unpublished Letters of_

PROSPER MERIMEE'S "INCONNUE."

Cloth. $1.00.

"The capriciousness, the coquetry, the tenderness,--the womanliness,
in short, which makes the letters in 'An Author's Love' so charming,
reconcile you to the audacity which has dared to assume the feminine
side of this world-famous correspondence."--_Boston Herald_.

"The dainty touches everywhere present in the volume rival the
exquisite manner of Merimee himself. One traces and unconsciously
accepts as a veracious narrative the record of a fantastic though
abiding love. No woman in the flesh could write more
winsomely."--_Philadelphia Press_.

"They are full of delightful gossip, reminiscence, anecdote, and
description, and are charmingly written throughout."--_Chicago Daily
News_.

"They are gay and melancholy by turn, full of womanly passion dashed
with coquetry, now sparkling with the sprightliest wit, now charged
with the most reckless tenderness, implying a relationship which
should satisfy the most exacting of men."--_Eclectic Magazine_.

Author of "Esther Pentreath," "Inconsequent Lives," "Jaco Treloar,"
etc.

16mo. Cloth. $1.25.

"They are so simple at first sight that one is surprised by their
depth of suggestion, which satisfies Milton's definition of the old
tales of enchantment, 'where more is meant than meets the ear,' and
the curiosity of it is that the impression left on the mind of the
reader is that of poetry urging its way into words--unwritten
poetry.... There is genius of an uncommon kind in these 'Drolls from
Shadowland.'"--_Mail and Express_.

"'Drolls from Shadowland,' by J.H. Pearce, is a work of a flavor or
timbre (or however else we may metaphor the quality too subtle to
define) so delicate that it may escape recognition for a time. In
this it only meets the fate of all really superior art. The 'Drolls'
are short, abrupt, fantastic stories, beautiful to read from their
deep imagination and haunting in their allegorical depth....
Mournful, but not bitter; brief, but not slight; subtle, but not
obscure in their hidden
