HEART AND SCIENCE, 



By WILKIE COLLINS. 



Cloth, Black and Gold. Paper Covers. 



This last new novel by WILKIE COLLINS is published from advance 

 sheets, by arrangement with the Author, and is one of his 

 most masterly productions, dealing with questions of current 

 interest. 



Wilkie Collins has no living superior in the art of constructing a story. 

 Others may equal if not surpass him in the delineation of character, or in 

 the use of a story for the development of social theories, or for the redress of a 

 wrong against humanity and civilization; but in his own domain he stands 

 alone, without a rival. * * He holds that " the main element in the attraction 

 of all stories is the interest of curiosity and the excitement of surprise." Other 

 writers had discovered this before Collins; but recognizing the clumsiness of 

 the contrivances in use by inferior authors, he essays, by artistic and conscien- 

 tious use of the same materials and similar devices, to captivate his readers.

 That Collins is without an equal in the power of constructing a story whose 



close it will defy an expert to foretell, which will please by its surprises, its 



pure, strong diction, and its dramatic power, has long been unquestioned.
