_Athenaeum._--"Without doubt the most important and the most interesting work published during the twelve months....

It would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined than this charming personage."

_National Observer._--"The strongest work from the hand of a woman that has been published for many a day."

_Scottish Leader._--"The book is full of a glowing and living realism.... There is nothing like 'Fantasy' in modern literature.... It is a work of elfish art, a mosaic of light and love, of right and wrong, of human weakness and strength, and purity and wantonness, pieced together in deft and witching precision."

=FROTH.= From the Spanish of Don ARMANDO PALACIO-VALDeS.

=FOOTSTEPS OF FATE.= From the Dutch of LOUIS COUPERUS.
