TALES OF ROMANCE 



THE GOLDEN SILENCE By C. N. & A. M. Williamson

 mystery of the desert. The action is dramatic and the descriptions are done with 

 rare power. The story will bring a new type of Williamson novel to all those 

 who love tales of mystery, romance and adventure. Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.35 



(postage H cents) . 



ACCOUNT RENDERED By E. F. Benson 



SECOND LARGE PRINTING 



The fearful consequences of a great lie, entailing a sublime sacrifice, form the 

 groundwork of this romance. Far beneath the gentle satire and humor one finds 

 those revelations of human nature in its charms and its foibles which it is Mr. 

 Benson's unique art to give us so vividly. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12 cents). 



THE COWARD OF THERMOPYLAE 



By Caroline Dale Snedeker 



This is a tale of Greece in its Golden Age. The narrative has exquisite charm 

 and as it unfolds this intimate record of a human spirit in that far-off day, one is 

 conscious of the supreme and simple beauty of Greek life and of all that great 

 train of dramatic events which made Thermopylae a name forever. Illustrated 

 and decorated. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12 cents). 



THE MILLER OF OLD CHURCH By Ellen Glasgow 



Miss Glasgow's art has deepened steadily with each new novel since she electri- 

 fied the literary world over a dozen years ago. This story unfolds itself among 

 contemporary people whom she knows and depicts with searching sureness, sym- 

 pathy, and humor. Wrapper in color. Fixed price, $1.35 (postage 13 cents). 



FENELLA By H. L. Stuart 



This story of a love abandoned in blindness and saved through its own undying 

 faith will rank with the finest-wrought of modern fiction. Paul Ingram, mystic 

 and dreamer, is a figure that will live, and the story of his love for Fenella, that 

 stanchest of souls, pure of vision, and unworldly wise, sounds the very depths of 

 the human heart. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12 cents). 



By Thomas Dixon 



THE ROOT OF EVIL 



SECOND LARGE PRINTING 

 The splendid strength of this tale lies in the conflict between James Stuart and Nan 

 in which love and desire of luxury struggle for mastery. It is Mr. Dixon's best 

 book. Illustrated. Fixed price, $1.20 (postage 12 cents). 



PANTHER'S CUB By Agnes and Egerton Castle 



The love story of an opera-singer and an English lord is an old tale. In this 

 case the lord loves the daughter, and has to reckon not only with the frantic pro- 

 test of his own family, but also with the jealousy and bitter resentment of " La 

 Marmora," the mother. Illustrated in color. Fixed price, $1.20. (postage 12 cents). 



BOOKS FOR A QUIET HOUR 



RECOLLECTIONS OF ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS 



"The Prisoner of Fort Warren." 

 Avary. Containing the Prison 



Edited by Myrta Lockett 

 Diary of Mr. Stephens. 



"A heart-melting record" is the term applied by a reviewer in the New York 

 Times to this book. He continues: "Of the true stories of literature, we know of 

 none more touching and appealing than this book." The only companion Stephens 

 had in his confinement was a mouse. In his diary occur such touching entries: 



"Saw nothing of my mouse to-day. If he is about he kept close, though I 

 noticed that a piece of potato which I placed on the floor for him, should he seek 

 food while I was asleep, was gone when I got up. Whether Geary [the soldier 

 who was detailed as his attendant] "or the mouse removed it, I do not know. I 

 will bait my mouse again." And again: "Unless the little mouse is eyeing me 

 from his hole, I have no other companion." And this unconsciously pathetic 

 touch: "I think he is about somewhere; he may not be alone." 



Photogravure frontispiece. Net, $2.50 (postage 35 cents). 



LIFE OF ANDREW JACKSON 



By J. S. Bassett, Ph.D. 



The authoritative biography of Jackson and the political 

 history of his period. Professor Bassett is the only bio-

 Jackson letters, lately for the first time made accessible. 

 This new material has been thoroughly used and many 

 new lights thrown on the character of Jackson and on the 

 political history of the time. This work, therefore, super- 

 sedes all previous treatments of the subject. 2 vols, boxed, 

 Net, $5.00 (postage, 50 cents). 



THE PASSING OF THE IDLE RICH 



By Frederick Townsend Martin 



A strong and illuminating volume upon the follies of the 



Four Hundred by a man who knows society and has lived

author draws some startling conclusions.

LIFE AND LETTERS OF MOSES COIT TYLER 



By Jessica Tyler Austen 



Few more interesting figures are to be found in the 

 course of the nineteenth century than that of Moses Coit 

 Tyler, essayist, clergyman, journalist, lecturer, historian 

 and Professor of American History at Cornell University. 

 The chapters are trebly delightful for they are as so many 

 windows upon the literary and public life of the most inter- 

 esting period of the last century. Illustrated. Net, §2.50 

 (postage 25 cents). 



MAKING LIFE WORTH WHR.E 



By Herbert W. Fisher 



Mr. Fisher's volume is a mental tonic. He has a 

 precious faculty of cogent reasoning which, so to speak, 

 makes you hold up your hands while he relieves you 

 of your prized conceits in many points of common-sensed 

 living. It is the clearest headed and most refreshing 

 book in a long while. Net, $1.20 (postage 

 12 cents). ■■■ns ■ ■
