  I. Hannah Thurston. A Story of American Life 12mo. Household edition, $1.50 "If Bayard Taylor has not placed himself, as we are half inclined to suspect, in the front rank of novelists, he has produced a very remarkable book—a really original story, admirably told, crowded with life-like characters full of delicate and subtle sympathies, with ideas the most opposite to his own, and lighted up throughout with that playful humor which suggests always wisdom rather than mere fun."—London Spectator. II. John Godfrey's Fortunes. Related by Himself 12mo. Household edition, $1.50 "'John Godfrey's Fortunes,' without being melodramatic or morbid, is one of the most fascinating novels which we have ever read. Its portraiture of American social life, though not flattering, is eminently truthful; its delineation of character is delicate and natural; its English, though sometimes careless, is singularly grateful and pleasant."—Cleveland Leader. III. The Story of Kennett. 12mo. Household edition, $1.50 "Mr. Bayard Taylor's book is delightful and refreshing reading, and great rest after the crowded artistic effects and the conventional interests of even the better kind of English novels."—London Spectator. "As a picture of rural life, we think this novel of Mr. Taylor's excels any of his previous productions."—N. Y. Evening Post. "A tale of absorbing interest."—Syracuse Standard. IV. Joseph and his Friend. A Story of Pennsylvania 12mo. Household edition, $1.50 "In Bayard Taylor's happiest vein."—Buffalo Express. "By far the best novel of the season."—Cleveland Leader. V. Beauty and the Beast and Tales of Home. 12mo Household edition, $1.50 —————— Bayard Taylor's Complete Works.
