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. The scene is Fifth avenue, the plot a surprise. "There is," some one has said, "as much mud in the upper classes as in the lower—only in the former it is gilded." This aphorism might serve as an epigraph toTristrem Varick.

It is the Law

A story of marriage and divorce in New York. By Thomas Edgar Willson.

"It is the Law" is a unique novel. That it contains a libel in every chapter is probably an exaggeration, but it certainly conveys that impression to the average reader. If the law on divorce and marriage of New York state is in the complex muddle that Mr. Willson depicts it, then there are extenuating circumstances for Mr. Willson placing in our hands a novel which shows that a man may have, and does have, as many legal wives as his sense of propriety or pleasure desires. The same state of things also applies to women. 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.

At Boston, Bar Harbor and Paris, By Rev. Arthur Swaze."Those who read 'A Boston Girl' will like it and those who do not read it will, if they only knew it, miss spending an agreeable hour or two."—San Francisco Call."Those who are pining for an original American Novel will be gratified upon reading this volume."—Kansas City Times.

The Confessions of a Society Man

A novel of absorbing interest.

"This is the novel of the year. The love-making in it is charming and it is interesting up to the very end. It gives a sad picture of lives of the men of the present day in our large cities, particularly in New York and Philadelphia. Like Thackeray's Barry Lyndon, it is an elaborate study of selfishness."—The World, New York.

Princess Sophia-Adelaide.

The deserted daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

"The authoress asserts in the most emphatic way, that she is Sophia-Adelaide, Princess Royal of England and Duchess of Saxony, and that she was born in Windsor Castle, on November 21, 1840, that her father was Prince Albert Edward of Germany, and that her mother is Queen Victoria. The portrait of the author printed in the volume bears an unmistakable resemblance to Queen Victoria."—Minneapolis Tribune.

Divorced

A Novel. By Madeline Vinton Dahlgren, author of "Lights and Shadows of Life," "South Sea Sketches," "A Washington Winter," "Memoirs of Admiral Dahlgren," etc.

"This is a masterly discussion of one of the burning questions of the age, dealt with according to the logic of facts. The plot is most ingenious. The characters are sketched with a powerful hand."—Tribune.

Every mother and daughter in America should read this book.

Love's Ladder

A Novel. By W. DeWitt Wallace.

The Truth about Alcohol

By Robert Alexander Gunn, M.D.

"There is much common sense in 'The Truth About Alcohol.' The author is a well-known New York physician who has made a specialty of the subject of stimulants. He demonstrates by conclusive evidence that spirits are of great value in many cases and that the temperance advocates wilfully pervert the truth. Increasing age brings with it less capacity for enduring mental strain and worry, and spirits act as a recuperative influence. The same is true in regard to taking of wine or liquors by brain-workers with their meals. Digestion is aided and the lassitude so frequently experienced is removed. The little book demands a wide circulation, as it contains information vouched for by the best medical authorities, both here and abroad, which is of great practical value."—San Francisco Chronicle.

The index is the beauty of this little work; any person can, by turning to it, find in an instant of time the duty on every article. Those who take an interest in the present tariff fight will find this volume invaluable.

Bancroft's History of the Colonization of the United States

By George Bancroft. Two vols. in one

"Since Ranke's death George Bancroft is the greatest living historian. The American citizen who has not read his history of the United States is a poor patriot, or an unfortunately ignorant person. We fear there are too many of them as there are of those who have never even read the constitution of their country. It is not too late for these delinquents to buy a copy of this great book and learn something that will be of interest and profit the remainder of their lives."—The Churchman.

Fifty Years a Queen; or, Great Britain under Queen Victoria

By Mrs. Katherine Hodge.

Justin McCarthy's "History of Our Own Times" is deservedly the most popular history of our times. It has passed the Rubicon and is now an interesting classic. "Greater Britain under Queen Victoria," which should be the title of "Fifty Years a Queen," is less pretentious to the above masterpiece, but it is a succinct, concise and accurate account of the history of the past fifty years. Those who do not care to give the time to the larger history will find this book a valuable substitute."—London Academy.

Belford's Magazine

Edited by DONN PIATT.

A Magazine devoted to Politics, Poetry, General Literature, Science and Art.

Belford's Magazine advocates the extinguishment of the surplus by a reduction of the present iniquitous and burdensome Tariff in the direction of Free-Trade or of a tariff for revenue purposes only; such reform to be effected in the interests of the farmers, the workingmen and the great mass of the population, as opposed to the manipulators of rings and trusts and other monopolists whom the present tariff enables to accumulate vast fortunes at the expense of the community.The department of Fiction is exceptionally full. Instead of a serial story dragging its slow length through several months, and exhausting the patience of the reader, a complete novel is published, and each issue also contains one or more stories. In all the departments the very best talent has been enlisted.
