By Thomas Hitchcock. With Twelve Portraits. 16mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25.

A fascinating book. So taking are its rapidly interchanging lights and shadows that one reads it from beginning to end without any thought of possible intrusion.—Observer, N.Y.

The simple and perspicuous style in which Mr. Hitchcock tells these stories of unhappy loves is not less admirable than the learning and the extensive reading and investigation which have enabled him to gather the facts presented in a manner so engaging. His volume is an important contribution to literature, and it is of universal interest.—N.Y. Sun.

The stories are concisely and sympathetically told, and the book presents in small compass what, in lieu of it, must be sought through many volumes.—Dial, Chicago.

A very interesting little book.... The studies are carefully and aptly made, and add something to one’s sense of personal acquaintanceship with those men and women who were before not strangers.—Evangelist, N.Y.
