_THE FAITH DOCTOR._ By EDWARD EGGLESTON, author of "The Hoosier Schoolmaster," "The Circuit Rider," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

"One of _the_ novels of the decade."--_Rochester Union and Advertiser._

"The author of 'The Hoosier Schoolmaster' has enhanced his reputation by this beautiful and touching study of the character of a girl to love whom proved a liberal education to both of her admirers."--_London Athenæum._

"'The Faith Doctor' is worth reading for its style, its wit, and its humor, and not less, we may add, for its pathos."--_London Spectator._

"Much skill is shown by the author in making these 'fads' the basis of a novel of great interest.... One who tries to keep in the current of good novel-reading must certainly find time to read 'The Faith Doctor.'"--_Buffalo Commercial._

An excellent piece of work.... With each new novel the author of 'The Hoosier Schoolmaster' enlarges his audience and surprises old friends by reserve forces unsuspected. Sterling integrity of character and high moral motives illuminate Dr. Eggleston's fiction, and assure its place in the literature of America which is to stand as a worthy reflex of the best thoughts of this age."--_New York World._

"It is extremely fortunate that the fine subject indicated in the title should have fallen into such competent hands."--_Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph._

"This delightful story would alone be sufficient to place Dr. Eggleston in the front rank of American writers of fiction."--_Chicago Tribune._

"The subject is treated with perfect fidelity and artistic truthfulness."--_The Critic._

_"LA BELLA" AND OTHERS._ By EGERTON CASTLE, author of "Consequences." Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.00.

"The stories will be welcomed with a sense of refreshing pungency by readers who have been cloyed by a too long succession of insipid sweetness and familiar incident."--_London Athenæum._

"The author is gifted with a lively fancy, and the clever plots he has devised gain greatly in interest, thanks to the unfamiliar surroundings in which the action for the most part takes place."--_London Literary World._

"Eight stories, all exhibiting notable originality in conception and mastery of art, the first two illustrating them best. They add a dramatic power that makes them masterpieces. Both belong to the period when fencing was most skillful, and illustrate its practice."--_Boston Globe._

_ELINE VERE._ By LOUIS COUPERUS. Translated from the Dutch by J. T. GREIN. With an Introduction by EDMUND GOSSE. Holland Fiction Series. 12mo. Cloth, $1.00.

"Most careful in its details of description, most picturesque in its coloring."--_Boston Post._

"A vivacious and skillful performance, giving an evidently faithful picture of society, and evincing the art of a true story-teller."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._

"The _dénoûment_ is tragical, thrilling, and picturesque."--_New York World._
