MAXWELL GRAY'S NEW NOVEL. 



THE HOUSE OF HIDDEN TREASURE. 



A Novel. By Maxwell Gray, author of 

 " The Silence of Dean Maitland," etc. i2ino. 

 Cloth, $1.50. 



This novel is regarded by the author as her most important 

 and significant work since "The Silence of Dean Maitland." 

 The scene is laid for the most part in England, and the storv 

 opens in the '00s. " There is a strong and pervading charm in 

 this new novel," says the London Chronicle in the course of a 

 long and enthusiastic review of the book, which is characterized 

 as a picture of "a woman's ideal," and free from morbid 

 thoughts and theories. 



" It is a moving drama of vast depth and stirring interest, this new novel by Maxwell 

 Gray. . . . It is a book to be read and thought about afterward." — Philadelphia Item. 



" There is no falling off in this latest novel of the author of ' The Silence of Dean 

 Maitland ' ; there are the same firmness of touch, the same insight into character and 

 motive, the same refined feeling for beauty, the same strength and spiritual significance, 

 grace, delicacy, and pathos in this latest as in the earlier novel, and to us it stands easily 

 first among the best, and most satisfactory novel of the year ; it is a good story and a 

 good work of art." — Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. 



A REMARKABLE SUCCESS. 



EVELYN INNES. 



A Story. By George Moore, author of "Esther Waters," etc. 

 i2mo. Cloth, $i.so. 



" The book is, indeed, most conscientiously constructed. There is no hasty work to 

 be detected in it. It is the fruit of three long years of unremitting work. There are 

 passages in it of remarkable power, and its author's touch is everywhere both firm and 

 sure. ... It shows no traces of the grossness of phrase and brutality of thought that 

 have so often jarred upon us." — New York Book/nan. 



" Profoundly interesting. It will highly please musical classicists. It will awaken 

 reveries on the part of sociologists. It will excite admiration in those who appreciate a 

 pure, polished, flawless literary style. It is bound to be read with ever wider attention 

 being drawn to its merits as an elaborate mosaic of literary art, a deep study of human 

 nature, a noble defense of the antiques of music, and altogether as a praiseworthy con- 

 tribution to the best works of the modern English realistic school." — Philadelphia Item. 



" The book is a remarkable performance throughout, one of which its author may 

 well be proud. It treats a vast subject in a way that is far more than merely adequate." 

 — A r ew York Book Buyer.
