Avelingh," etc. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. " Until the Appletons discovered the merits of Maarten Maartens, the foremost of Dutch novelists, it is doubtful if many American readers knew that there were Dutch novelists. His ' God's Fool * and ' Toost Avelingh ' made for him an American reputa- tion. To our mind this just published work of his is his best. . . . He is a master ol epigram, an artist in description, a prophet in insight." — Boston Advertiser* " It would take several columns to give any adequate idea of the superb way in which the Dutch novelist has developed his theme and wrought out one of the most impressive stories of the period. ... It belongs to the small class of novels which one can not afford to neglect" — Sam Francisco Chronicle. " Maarten Maartens stands head and shoulders above the average novelist of the day in intellectual subtlety and imaginative power." — Boston Beacon, GOZ>'S FOOL. By Maarten Maartens. iamo.

"Maarten Maartens has secured a firm footing in the eddies of curnent literature. . . . Pathos deepens into tragedy in the thrilling story of 'God's Fool.' "— Philadel- phia Ledger.

The interest never lags; the style is realistic and intense; and there is a constantly underlying current of subtle humor. . . . It is, in short, a book which no student of modern literature should fail to read. 9 ' — Boston Times. " A story of remarkable interest and point.'*— New York Observer. CYOOST AVELINGH.
