The Elerentl GoHandineit 



A ROMANCE 



BY 



ANTON GIULIO BARRILI 



From the Italian by Clara Bell 



" It is an attractive little novel, spirited in plot, and 

 marked by a charming grace in the telling. It is at 

 once bright, witty and delicate, is simple in design, but 

 has a marked dramatic interest. The characters are 

 brilliantly sketched, the dialogue is spirited, and there is 

 an unconventionality in the work as a whole that makes 

 it thoroughly delightful reading." — Boston Saturday 

 Evening Gazette^ May 28, 1882. 



" There is more to the work than appears on the 

 surface, many passages being fruitful subjects for psycho- 

 logical meditation. The characters are all well drawn, 

 especially those of the serious-minded prior, the obese 

 and tractable uncle, and the grandiloquent sub-prefect. 

 The author is an unusually good painter of human nat- 

 ure, and the ease and naturalness of his style is refresh- 

 ing. No fault is to be found with the translation." — 

 Boston Eveni7ig Transcript, May 20, 1882.
