-A BRILLIANT SUCCESS." 



A Double Thread 



By Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, author 

 of "Concerning Isabel Carnaby," etc. i 2mo. 

 Cloth, Si. 50. 



" Even more gay, clever, and bright than ' Concerning 

 Isabel Carnaby.' The characters are created by one who 

 evidently knows all the variations of human nature, and who 

 is as shrewd as she is keenly observant." — Boston Herald. 



" All that the fondest fancy could have painted as a 

 successor to ' Isabel Carnaby.' A more brilliant book could 

 not well have been imagined, and withal, the conversations are natural, having none 

 of that 'shop-made ' character which is so often apparent in the talk of many clever 

 modern novels. The plot is curious and ingeniously worked out, and the characters 

 are well drawn, but it is the conversation that utterly enchants. . . . We learn more 

 concerning human nature from Miss Fowler's book than from most moral treatises, 

 and there is not a shade of ' decadent ' influence to be found in all her wholesome 

 pages. . . . Miss Fowler's book is a brilliant success, quite as brilliant as her former 

 attempt." — Baltimore Sunday Herald. 



MISS ELLEN 



"e/f STRIKING AND TIMELY NOVEL." 



The Mormon Prophet. 



By Lily Dougall, author of **The Mer- 

 maid," "The Madonna of a Day," and 

 "The Zeit-Geist." i 2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" A striking story. , . . Immensely interesting and 

 diverting, and as a romance it certainly has a unique 

 power." — Boston Herald. 



" In * The Mormon Prophet ' Miss Lily Dougall has 

 told in strongly dramatic form the story of Joseph 

 Smith and of the growth of the Church of the Latter- 

 Day Saints, which has again come prominently before 

 the public through the election of a polygamist to Con- 

 gress. . . . Miss Dougall has handled her subject with 

 consummate skill. . . . She has rightly seen that this 

 man's life contained splendid material for a historical novel. She has taken no un- 

 warranted liberties with the truth, and has succeeded in furnishing a story whose 

 scope broadens with each succeeding chapter until the end." — Neio York Mail and 

 Express.
