LOVELL'S INTERNATIONAL SERIES

13. On Circumstantial EvidenceBy Florence Marryat

This is a story in which love and intrigue are the two disturbing elements. Miss Marryat is well-known to the readers of sentimental novels. She has a bright and crisp way of presenting the frailties of the human race, which makes her stories entertaining.—Boston Herald.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

14. Miss Kate, or the Confessions of a CaretakerBy Rita

This is a novel of much interest in the first part, of the objectionable "guilty love" order in the latter half. There are some beautiful bits of character drawing in it, and some very clever hits at American foibles. This story is exceedingly well told.—Nashville American.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

15. A Vagabond LoverBy Rita

Is a mere sketch. The hero having been a child who was washed on shore from a shipwreck during a storm, and found by a man who believed that he had discovered the cause and generation of life. The child was made a subject for experiment; life was breathed into it, but only physical life and not its higher principle. The result is that the child grows up to manhood without one redeeming virtue, and seems to delight in doing all manner of evil.—Philadelphia Record.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 20 CENTS.

16. The Search for Basil LyndhurstBy Rosa N. Carey

Is a well written English novel, into which are woven numerous historical sketches, adding the merit of instructiveness to its other qualities.—Pittsburgh Post.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

39. Sylvia ArdenBy Oswald Crawfurd

Is a novel whose story is supposed to be told by a man who confesses at the outset that life has been with him a failure. He has been successful in nothing though trying everything—and the novel deals with the most remarkable incidents in that sort of a career. It is a cleverly done book, and there is much in it which is fresh as well as exciting.—Columbus, O., Journal.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

40. Young Mr. Ainslie's CourtshipBy F. C. Philips

It seems impossible for F. C. Philips, the author of "As in a Looking Glass," to keep sensational tragedy out of his novels. In "Young Mr. Ainslie's Courtship" he has written a story which is charming, witty? and agreeable up to the very last chapter.—San Francisco Chronicle.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

41. The Haute NoblesseBy Geo. Manville Fenn

Is a well wrought story of which the heroine is a child of the high aristocracy, but nevertheless such admirable traits and qualities that even the humblest reader cannot fail to love her.—Columbus, O., Journal.

CLOTH. $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

42. Mount EdenBy Florence Marryat

Miss Florence Marryat is well known to the readers of sentimental novels. She has a bright and crisp way of presenting the frailties of the human race, which makes her stories entertaining, even if they are devoid of all good moral purpose. They open one's eyes to the inconsistencies of life without wholly destroying his faith in his fellow citizens.—Boston Herald.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 30 CENTS.

82. A Woman's HeartBy Mrs. Alexander

The name of this author is familiar to all lovers of fiction who will need nothing more to assure them that they will not regret the time spent in reading "A Woman's Heart." It is a refined and interesting story, pleasant and easy reading, as is usual with all Mrs. Alexander's works.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 50 CENTS.

83. SyrlinBy Ouida

The announcement of a new novel by Ouida, sends a thrill of delight through the countless host of faithful admirers of that petulant priestess of mild improprieties. Her new books are just like her old ones. There is the usual abundance of gilded vice and wilful wickedness lugged in to give the book its wonted flavor.—N. O. States.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 50 CENTS.

84. The Rival PrincessBy Justin McCarthy and Mrs. Campbell Praed

It is a romance of contemporary English politics wherein many well-known public men appear under thin disguises. There is a Stuart princess with lineal claims to the English throne, and there is an unmasked Mr. Gladstone, who boldly urges the abolition of the House of Lords.--Charleston Sunday Times.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 50 CENTS.

85. BlindfoldBy Florence Marryat

Is, in many respects, the best novel which has been given us by the prolific pen of the well-known Englishwoman. The story is novel, well told, and events follow upon each other quickly, never allowing the interest to flag.—Denver News.

CLOTH, $1.00. PAPER COVER, 50 CENTS.
