To Have and to Hold

By MARY JOHNSTON

Crown 8 vo, $1.50

Prisoners of Hope

Crown 8 vo, $1.50

MR. JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS (Uncle Remus") writes: "I think Miss Johnston's two books represent, with respect to their art, their style, and their noble ideals, the high watermark of American fiction that has appeared since Hawthorne died. I have read pretty nearly every American story of the better class, especially the so-called historical novels. None compares with Miss Johnston's book."

"Among the whole English-speaking peoples, in proportion as they grow in thought and spirituality and in the love of men and women, the recognition and the praise of the main body of Brownings poetry will also grow into a power the result of which we cannot as yet conceive."-contemporary keview,

The finest poem of the century" [The Blot in the 'Scutcheon'] "Tell Browning that I believe from my soul there is no man living (and not many dead) who could produce such a work."-Charles Dickens. "A wonderful book," [The Ring and the Book,'] "one of the most wonderful poems ever written. I re-read it all through."-Thomas Carlyle.

"This edition is certainly superior to any which we remember Browning is the only English poet of the present time who has attained this distinction, and. with all respect to the memory of Lord Tennyson, the only one whose genius may be said to have compelled it, from its richness. its splendor, Its profundity, its versatility and its myriad mindedness. There is none with whom he should be compared. except Shakespeare, and with Shakespeare only in the certainty and subtlety of his dramatic insight."-Richard Henry Stoddard in the Mail and Express.
