By ELLEN GLASGOW HARPER & BROTHERS PUBLISHERS BY THE SAME AUTHOR. THE DESCENDANT. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 25. The writer has a sure touch, a firm and philosophically consistent hold upon his theme, much delicacy of perception, and a sane sense of humor. The style, if not of the fastidiously fine school, is fluent and often brilliant. ... The character drawing is vivid and realistic.—Boston Transcript. The characters here are skilfully drawn, and the drama in which they take part is unusually novel and impressive. ... The work of an author who has not written at random, but who has woven into a strong story some of the cardinal truths of modern science.—N. Y. Herald. —— Copyright, 1898, by Harper & Brothers.
