Author of “Life in the Iron Hills“Dallas Gal¬ 
braith,etc., etc. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The story is of intense interest, and holds tlie reader from 
its commencement to its close, and gives much food for 
! thought regarding the workings of political rings and gov¬ 
ernment frauds in our large cities.— Post, Salem, Mass. 
Tlie characters and their work are strongly but no doubt 
truthfully drawn. Aside from its literary merit, the book 
deserves credit for calling attention to a crying shame of 
our time.— Christian Advocate, Pittsburgh, Pa. 
It will at once enchain the attention of the reader, and 
prove vigorously and skillfully written, by this among 
tlie foremost novel writers of America.— Commonwealth, 
Boston, Mass. 
Of a story of Mrs. Davis it is hardly necessary to say that 
it bolds tlie reader's absorbed attention from beginning to 
end. Though the interest of the plot is very considerable, 
it is subordinate to the higher interest of the description 
and development of character. There is a great deal of 
very life-like painting of people and manners.— Christian 
Union, New York. 
The characters are well drawn, the incidents are full of 
interest, and the plot sustained with consistency and power. 
—Daily Spy, Worcester; Mass. 
We are constantly struck with the out-cropping of tlie 
one golden thread that, holds all her writings together, and 
never fails to shine through the web of whatever plot she 
weaves about it—that singleness of point and moral more 
characteristic of her writings than of any other wo know of, 
and which is, broadly stated, a self-sacrificing devotion to 
duty.— Daily Standard, Bridgeport, Ct. 
Her hero is a man entangled by tlie great King of Penn¬ 
sylvania, wlio is sent by tills corporation to tlie State Senate 
with a hold of criminality to keep- him in hand, who even 
then attempts to break loose and join the party of honesty, 
but is at the crisis brought in check again by tlie Ring, with 
the still more potent motive of love. . . . Tlie plot is very 
well wrought, and tlie denouement is powerfully conceived 
and managed.— Yeio York Evening Mail.

Agricultural Chemical Analysis, 
After E. Wolfr, Presenilis, Krocker, and Others. 
Edited by G. C. CALDWELL, 
OF CORNELL UNIVERSITY. 
PRICE, POST-PAID, $2.00. 
In this work .Professor Caldwell lias brought together the 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers. animals and plants, and their products. He has tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but liis book shows that lie lias not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, but lias 
given much of liis own experience.
