Thomas Nelson Page. IN OLE VIRGINIA—MARSE CHAN, and Other Stories. (12mo, $1.25.)
"There are qualities in these stories of Mr. Page which we do not find in those of any other Southern author, or not to the same extent and in the same force and they are the qualities which are too often wanting in modern literature."—N. Y. Mail and Express.
WITHIN THE CAPES. (12mo, $1.00.)
"Simplicity, earnestness, and directness are the appropriate qualities of a tale supposed to be reeled by an old sea captain as he sits by the chimney corner, stranded in a happy old age. The yarn proves to possess all the wonderful elements of romance and adventure."—The Boston Journal.

"If there is any writer of the time about whom the critics of England and America substantially agree it is Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson. There is something in his work, precisely what, it is not easy to say, which engages and fixes the attention from the first page to the last, which shapes itself before the mind's eye while reading, and which refuses to be forgotten long after the book which revealed it has been closed and put away."—The New York Mail and Express.
