THE CURSE OF GOLD.
BY MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS.
Price $1.75 in Cloth; or, $1.50 in Paper Cover.
Read what the Editors of the New York Weekly say of it, in their paper, editorially:
“Mrs. Ann S. Stephens has thrown into ‘The Curse of Gold’ all that graphic delineation of passion and character, beauty and strength of style, reality of description, sweep of imagination, brilliancy of fashion, power over the fount of tears and laughter, and trenchant sarcasm which have male her writings the source of great pleasure to readers of fiction wherever the English language is known.
“‘The Curse of Gold’ will be found to be one of the most thrilling, intensely absorbing, unfailingly interesting, and delightfully romantic stories which Mrs. Stephens has ever penned.
“‘The Curse of Gold’ never drags, but from the first chapter to the last the intense interest is maintained, and incident follows incident, action follows action with such rapidity that the reader is hurried along, fascinated in the various windings and unwindings of the plot. The characters are so naturally portrayed that they appear to have been drawn from real life. The situations are never overstrained, nor yet commonplace, but of a nature to excite the attention and elicit the admiration of the reader at the fertility of invention of the author.”
