THE CHOIR INVISIBLE.By JAMES LANE ALLEN,Author of “A Summer in Arcady,” “A Kentucky Cardinal,” etc.12mo. Cloth. $1.50.“‘The Choir Invisible’ bears upon its front that unspeakable repose, that unhurried haste which is the hall-mark of literature; it is alive with the passion of beauty and of pain; it vibrates with that incommunicable thrill which Stevenson called the tuning-fork of art. It is distinguished by a sweet and noble seriousness, through which there strains the sunny light of a glancing humour, a wayward fancy, like sunbeams stealing into a cathedral close through stained-glass windows.”—The Bookman.“What impresses one most in this exquisite romance of Kentucky’s green wilderness is the author’s marvellous power of drawing word-pictures that stand before the mind’s eye in all the vividness of actuality. Mr. Allen’s descriptions of nature are genuine poetry of form and color.”—The Tribune, New York.“The impressions left by the book are lasting ones in every sense of the word, and they are helpful as well. Strong, clear-cut, positive in its treatment, the story will become a power in its way, and the novelist-historian of Kentucky, its cleverest author, will achieve a triumph second to no literary man’s in the country.”—Commercial Tribune, Cincinnati.“It is this mighty movement of the Anglo-Saxon race in America, this first appearance west of the mountains of civilized white types, that Mr. Allen has chosen as the motive of his historical novel. And in thus recalling ’the immortal dead’ he has aptly taken the title from George Eliot’s greatest poem. It is by far his most ambitious work in scope, in length, and in character drawing, and in construction. And, while it deals broadly with the beginning of the nation, it gains picturesqueness from the author’smilieu, as hardly anywhere else were the aristocratic elements of colonial life so contrasted with the rugged life of the backwoods.”—The Journal.Works by F.
