life, and make the reader better acquainted with this great human
organization of which we all form a part, and tend to bring him into
more intimate sympathy with what is most pure and noble in our nature.
Among the best of her productions we place the volume here under notice.
In temper and tone the volume is calculated to exert a healthful and
elevating influence."--_New-England Methodist._

DARYLL GAP; or, Whether it Paid.

A story of the petroleum days, and of a family who struck oil. "Miss
Townsend is a very entertaining writer, and, while she entertains, at
the same time instructs. Her plots are well arranged, and her characters
are clearly and strongly drawn. The present volume will not detract from
the reputation she has heretofore enjoyed."--_Pittsburg Recorder._

A WOMAN'S WORD, AND HOW SHE KEPT IT.

"The celebrity of Virginia F. Townsend as an authoress, her brilliant
descriptive powers, and pure, vigorous imagination, will insure a hearty
welcome for the above-entitled volume in the writer's happiest vein.
Every woman will understand the self-sacrifice of Genevieve Weir, and
will entertain only scorn for the miserable man who imbittered her life
to hide his own wrong-doing."--_Fashion Quarterly._

THAT QUEER GIRL.

"A fresh, wholesome book about good men and good women, bright and
cheery in style, and pure in morals. Just the book to take a young
girl's fancy, and help her to grow up, like Madeline and Argia, into the
sweetness of real girlhood; there being more of that same sweetness
under the fuss and feathers of the present day than a casual observer
might suppose."--_People's Monthly._

ONLY GIRLS.

"This volume shows how two persons, 'only girls,' saved two men from
crime, even from ruin of body and soul; and all this came about in their
lives without their purpose or knowledge at the time, and not at all as
they or anybody else would have planned it; but it comes about well and
naturally enough. The story is ingenious and graphic, and kept the
writer of this notice up far into the small hours of yesterday
morning."--_Washington Chronicle._
