" ' The Master of Silence ' is the first novel of Mr. Irving Bacheller, of the 

 newspaper syndicate, and deals in a striking way with the faculty of mind- 

 reading."— iVete York World. 



" A well-named story is already on the road to success. . . . Altogether 

 the story is a strange character study, full of suggestion, earnest in moral 

 purpose, and worthy of attention. 11 — Cincinnati Enquirer. 



11 There is no let up in the intrigue of ' The Master of Silence, 1 and there is 

 plot and action enough in it to construct a book-case full of novels by Howells 

 and James. "—Cambridge Tribune.

MOONBLIGHT, AND SIX FEET OF ROMANCE. 



By Dan Beard. In " Moonblight " the artist-author has brought 

 into play all those resources of humor, imagination, and sarcasm for 

 which he is so well known, to teach under the guise of a romance the 

 lesson of the wrongs inflicted by capital on labor. In the light of re- 

 cent events at the Homestead mills, this book seems to have been pro- 

 phetic. Illustrated by the author. Cloth, 8vo, $1.00. 



" A strange but powerful book." — Philadelphia Bulletin. 



"He does not construct a Utopia like Bellamy; the reforms he proposes 

 are sensible and would be profitable, if greedy capital could be induced to con- 

 sider and try them.'"— Springfield Republican. 



" It is a witty, gay, poetical book, full of bright things and true things, the 

 seer donning a jester's garb to preach in; and one may be sure, under the 

 shrug and the smile, of the keen dart aimed at pride, prejudice, self-seeking, 

 injustice, and the praise for whatsoever is beautiful and good."— Hartford 

 Courant.
