. MacNamara. I Vol. illustrated. "This is a genuine American fairy tale, and, so far as we can remember, the first and only one that can lay claim to the title."--_Daily Times, Troy, N. Y._ "It is fanciful and fresh, and written out delightfully."--_Philadelphia Press._ "The story is well told and cleverly illustrated in strong and delicate pen and ink drawings."--_Brooklyn Eagle._ "A dainty little volume, describing the fate and fortunes of a Fairy Bride."--_Times-Democrat, New Orleans._ * * * * * The Truth about Tristrem Varick By Edgar Saltus, author of "Mr. Incouls Misadventure," "The Philosophy of Disenchantment," "Balzac" In this novel Mr. Saltus has treated a subject hitherto unexplored in fiction.

It is indeed strong meat, dished up in a fearless, too plain manner.--_A Critic._ * * * * * Man and Labor A Series of short and simple studies, by Cyrus Elder. "So excellent a manual of sound, economic philosophy ought to be widely circulated.... It is not a book written by a capitalist nor by a workingman. But it gives good advice to all classes, and gives it in a most attractive manner."--_Philadelphia Evening Bulletin._ "Mr. Elder's book is a compound of sound argument, apt illustration, noble sentiment and vigorous language."--_Inter Ocean, Chicago._ A Boston Girl.
