By A. CONAN DOYLE

The Refugees. A Tale of Two Continents. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.

A masterly work.... It is not every year, or even every decade, which produces one historical novel of such quality.—Spectator, London.

The White Company. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.

... Dr. Doyle’s stirring romance, the best historical fiction he has done, and one of the best novels of its kind to-day.—Hartford Courant.

Micah Clarke. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75; also 8vo, Paper, 45 cents.

A noticeable book, because it carries the reader out of the beaten track; it makes him now and then hold his breath with excitement; it presents a series of vivid pictures and paints two capital portraits; and it leaves upon the mind the impression of well-rounded symmetry and completeness.—R. E. Prothero, in The Nineteenth Century.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.

Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.

Few writers excel Conan Doyle in this class of literature. His style, vigorous, terse, and thoughtful, united to a nice knowledge of the human mind, makes every character a profoundly interesting psychological study.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

The Parasite. A Story. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.

A strange, uncanny, weird story, ... easily the best of its class. The reader is carried away by it, and its climax is a work of literary art.—Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.

The Great Shadow. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 00.

A powerful piece of story-telling. Mr. Doyle has the gift of description, and he knows how to make fiction seem reality.—Independent, N. Y.
