  NOVELS BY HALL CAINE.

  _THE MANXMAN._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

  "A story of marvelous dramatic intensity, and in its ethical meaning has a force comparable only to Hawthorne's 'Scarlet Letter.'"--_Boston Beacon._

  "A work of power which is another stone added to the foundation of enduring fame to which Mr. Caine is yearly adding."--_Public Opinion._

  "A wonderfully strong study of character; a powerful analysis of those elements which go to make up the strength and weakness of a man, which are at fierce warfare within the same breast: contending against each other, as it were, the one to raise him to fame and power, the other to drag him down to degradation and shame. Never in the whole range of literature have we seen the struggle between these forces for supremacy over the man more powerfully, more realistically delineated, than Mr. Caine pictures it."--_Boston Home Journal._

  "'The Manxman' is one of the most notable novels of the year, and is unquestionably destined to perpetuate the fame of Hall Caine for many a year to come."--_Philadelphia Telegraph._

  "The author exhibits a mastery of the elemental passions of life that places him high among the foremost of present writers of fiction."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._

  _THE DEEMSTER. A Romance of the Isle of Man._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.

  "Hall Caine has already given us some very strong and fine work, and 'The Deemster' is a story of unusual power.... Certain passages and chapters have an intensely dramatic grasp, and hold the fascinated reader with a force rarely excited nowadays in literature."--_The Critic._

  "One of the strongest novels which has appeared for many a day."--_San Francisco Chronicle._

  "Fascinates the mind like the gathering and bursting of a storm."--_Illustrated London News._

  "Deserves to be ranked among the remarkable novels of the day."--_Chicago Times._

  "Remarkably powerful, and is undoubtedly one of the strongest works of fiction of our time. Its conception and execution are both very fine."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._

  _CAPT'N DAVY'S HONEYMOON. A Manx Yarn._ By HALL CAINE. 12mo. Paper, 50 cts.; cloth, $1.00.

  "A new departure by this author. Unlike his previous works, thislittle tale is almost wholly humorous, with, however, a currentof pathos underneath. It is not always that an author cansucceed equally well in tragedy and in comedy, but it looks asthough Mr. Hall Caine would be one of the exceptions."--_LondonLiterary World._

  "It is pleasant to meet the author of 'The Deemster' in abrightly humorous little story like this.... It shows the sameobservation of Manx character, and much of the same artisticskill."--_Philadelphia Times._
