Miss BEULAH MARIE DIX'S NOVELS, etc.
_Each, in decorated cloth covers, $1.50_
=The Making of Christopher Ferringham=
"In brilliancy, exciting interest, and verisimilitude, _The Making of Christopher Ferringham_ is one of the best of the semi-historical novels of the day, and not unworthy of comparison with Maurice Hewlett's best."--_Boston Advertiser._
=The Life, Treason, and Death of James Blount of Breckenhow=
"A novel that may fairly challenge comparison with the very best, telling the story of treason and a love, of many good fights, a few mistakes, and a good death at the last."--_The Boston Transcript._
=The Fair Maid of Greystones=
"The plot of _The Fair Maid of Greystones_ is not unworthy of Weyman at his best. This is strong praise, but it is deserved. From the moment Jack Hetherington, the Cavalier volunteer, assumes the identity of his blackguard cousin, and thus escapes certain death to face the responsibility for his kinsman's dark deeds, until the end, which is sanely happy, the adventure never flags. This is one of the few historical novels in whose favor an exception may well be made by those who long since lost interest in the school."--_New York Mail._

Mr. CHARLES MAJOR'S NOVELS
_Each, in decorated cloth binding, $1.50_
=Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall.= Illustrated by Howard Chandler Christy
"Dorothy is a splendid creation, a superb creature of brains, beauty, force, capacity, and passion, a riot of energy, love, and red blood. She is the fairest, fiercest, strongest, tenderest heroine that ever woke up a jaded novel reader and made him realize that life will be worth living so long as the writers of fiction create her like.... The story has brains, 'go,' virility, gumption, and originality."--_The Boston Herald._
=A Forest Hearth.= A Romance of Indiana in the Thirties. Illustrated
"This work is a novel full of charm and action, picturing the life and love of the fascinating indomitably adventurous men and women, boys and girls, who developed Indiana. It is a vigorous, breezy, outdoor book, with the especial intimate touch that is possible only when the subject is one which has long lain close to its author's heart."--_Daily News._
=Yolanda, Maid of Burgundy= Illustrated
"Charles Major has done the best work of his life in _Yolanda_. The volume is a genuine romance ... and after the reviewer has become surfeited with problem novels, it is like coming out into the sunlight to read the fresh, sweet story of her love for Max."--_The World To-day._

Mr. JOHN OXENHAM'S NOVEL
=The Long Road= With frontispiece
_Cloth, decorated cover, $1.50_
"Not since Robert Louis Stevenson has there appeared a writer of English who can so thoroughly serve his turn with simple Anglo-Saxon phrases ... invested with sympathetic interest, convincing sincerity, and indefinable charm of romance."--_North American._
"It is original both in plot and in treatment, and its skilful mingling of idyllic beauty and tragedy plays curious tricks with one's emotions ... and leaves an impression of happiness and spiritual uplift. It is a story that any man or woman will be the better for reading."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.
Mr. MAURICE HEWLETT'S NOVELS
_Each, in decorated cloth covers, $1.50_
=The Forest Lovers=
"The book is a joy to read and to remember, a source of clean and pure delight to the spiritual sense, a triumph of romance reduced to the essentials, and interpreted with a mastery of expression that is well-nigh beyond praise."--_The Dial._
=The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and-Nay=
"Mr. Hewlett has done one of the most notable things in recent literature, a thing to talk about with bated breath, as a bit of master-craftsmanship touched by the splendid dignity of real creation."--_The Interior._
=The Queen's Quair=
"_The Queen's Quair_ is, from every point of view, a notable contribution to historical portraiture in its subtlety, its vividness of color, its consistency, and its fascination.... Above all, it is intensely interesting."--_The Outlook._
=The Fool Errant=
"It is full of excellent description, of amusing characters, and of picaresque adventure brilliantly related ... with infinite humor and vivacity."--_The New York Herald._
=Little Novels of Italy=
"These singularly romantic stories are so true to their locality that they read almost like translations."--_New York Times._
=New Canterbury Tales=
"In the key and style of the author's Little Novels of Italy, it shows again the brilliant qualities of that remarkable book; ... daring but successful."--_New York Tribune._
