By the Marshes of Minas.
Library 12mo, cloth, gilt top, illustrated $1.50
This is a volume of romance, of love and adventure in that picturesque
period when Nova Scotia was passing from the French to the English
régime. Each tale is independent of the others, but the scenes are
similar, and in several of them the evil "Black Abbé," well known from
the author's previous novels, again appears with his savages at his
heels--but to be thwarted always by woman's wit or soldier's courage.
=Earth's Enigmas.= A new edition, with the addition of three new
stories, and ten illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull.
Library 12mo, cloth, uncut edges $1.50
"Throughout the volume runs that subtle questioning of the cruel,
predatory side of nature which suggests the general title of the book.
In certain cases it is the picture of savage nature ravening for
food--for death to preserve life; in others it is the secret symbolism
of woods and waters prophesying of evils and misadventures to come. All
this does not mean, however, that Mr. Roberts is either pessimistic or
morbid--it is nature in his books after all, wholesome in her cruel
moods as in her tender."--_The New York Independent._

fiction what Gibson has done for her in art.
"Tall, slender, and athletic, fragile-looking, yet with nerves and
sinews of steel under the velvet flesh, frank as a boy and tender and
beautiful as a woman, free and independent, yet not bold--such is 'Hope
Loring,' by long odds the subtlest study that has yet been made of the
American girl."--_Dorothy Dix, in the New York American._

author.

Catherwood._

well have studied his methods from Sherlock Holmes, so searching and
successful are they.

lay this book down, once he has begun it, until the last word has been

Eagle._

worthy to be compared with Swift's biting tirades against the follies

York."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger._
"The book has a living vitality and is a strong depiction of political
New York."--_Bookseller, Newsdealer, and Stationer._

song, is equalled only by Undine in charm and mystery.

in motive. The book shows great delicacy of imagination."--_The
Criterion._
