It takes just such distinguished literary art as Mary E. Wilkins possesses to give an episode of New England its soul, pathos, and poetry.—N. Y. Times.The pathos of New England life, its intensities of repressed feeling, its homely tragedies and its tender humor, have never been better told than by Mary E. Wilkins, and in her own field she stands to-day without a rival.—Boston Courier.The simplicity, purity, and quaintness of these stories set them apart in a niche of distinction where they have no rivals.—Literary World, Boston.A gallery of striking studies in the humblest quarters of American country life. No one has dealt with this kind of life better than Miss Wilkins. Nowhere are there to be found such faithful, delicately drawn, sympathetic, tenderly humorous pictures.—N. Y. Tribune.The charm of Miss Wilkins’s stories is in her intimate acquaintance and comprehension of humble life, and the sweet human interest she feels and makes her readers partake of, in the simple, common, homely people she draws.—Springfield Republican.The author has given us studies from real life which must be the result of a lifetime of patient, sympathetic observation.... No one has done the same kind of work so lovingly and so well.—Christian Register, Boston.

Delightful touches justify those who see many points of analogy between Miss Woolson and George Eliot.—N. Y. Times.For tenderness and purity of thought, for exquisitely delicate sketching of characters, Miss Woolson is unexcelled among writers of fiction.—New Orleans Picayune.Characterization is Miss Woolson’s forte. Her men and women are not mere puppets, but original, breathing, and finely contrasted creations.—Chicago Tribune.Miss Woolson is one of the few novelists of the day who know how to make conversation, how to individualize the speakers, how to exclude rabid realism without falling into literary formality.—N. Y. Tribune.Constance Fenimore Woolson may easily become the novelist laureate.—Boston Globe.Miss Woolson has a graceful fancy, a ready wit, a polished style, and conspicuous dramatic power; while her skill in the development of a story is very remarkable.—London Life.Miss Woolson never once follows the beaten track of the orthodox novelist, but strikes a new and richly-loaded vein which, so far, is all her own; and thus we feel, on reading one of her works, a fresh sensation, and we put down the book with a sigh to think our pleasant task of reading it is finished. The author’s lines must have fallen to her in very pleasant places; or she has, perhaps, within herself the wealth of womanly love and tenderness she pours so freely into all she writes. Such books as hers do much to elevate the moral tone of the day—a quality sadly wanting in novels of the time.—Whitehall Review, London.

TRILBY. A Novel. Illustrated by the Author. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75
It is a charming story told with exquisite grace and tenderness.—N. Y. Tribune.“Trilby” is the best fiction of the older school that the magazines have permitted the public to enjoy for a long while.—N. Y. Evening Post.Proves Du Maurier to have as great power as George Meredith in describing the anomalies and romances of modern English life; while his style is far more clear and simple, and his gift of illustration adds what few authors can afford. Thackeray had this artistic skill in some degree, but not to compare with Du Maurier.—Springfield Republican.“Trilby” is so thoroughly human, so free from morbidness and the disposition to touch the unclean thing that it atones for a multitude of sins in contemporaneous fiction.... In giving this wholesome, fascinating history to the world the artist-author has done a favor to novel readers which they cannot well repay nor fitly express.—Indianapolis Journal.

Mr. Du Maurier deserves the gratitude of all who come across his book, both for the pleasant and tender fancies in which it abounds, and for its fourscore dainty sketches.—Athenæum, London.The personal characterization is particularly strong, the pictures of Paris are wonderfully graphic, and the tale will induce many of its readers to attempt Du Maurier’s receipt for “dreaming true.”—Philadelphia Ledger.Novelty of subject and of treatment, literary interest, pictorial skill—the reader must be fastidious whom none of these can allure.—Chicago Tribune.There are so many beauties, so many singularities, so much that is fresh and original, in Mr. Du Maurier’s story that it is difficult to treat it at all adequately from the point of view of criticism. That it is one of the most remarkable books that have appeared for a long time is, however, indisputable.—N. Y. Tribune.There are no suggestions of mediocrity. The pathos is true, the irony delicate, the satire severe when its subject is unworthy, the comedy sparkling, and the tragedy, as we have said, inevitable. One or two more such books, and the fame of the artist would be dim beside that of the novelist.—N. Y. Evening Post.
