“Show me up at once to Miss Penclosa,” I demanded.
“Sir,” she gasped, “Miss Penclosa died this afternoon at half-past three!”

TRILBY. A Novel. Illustrated by the Author. Post
8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.
It is a charming story told with exquisite grace
and tenderness. — N. Y. Tribune.
“Trilby” is the best fiction of the older school
that the magazines have permitted the public to enjoy
for a long while. — N. Y. Evening Post.
Proves Du Maurier to have as great power as George
Meredith in describing the anomalies and romances of
modern English life; while his style is far more clear
and simple, and his gift of illustration adds what few
authors can afford. Thackerey had this artistic skill
in some degree, but not to compare with Du
Maurier. — Springfield Republican.
“Trilby” is so
thoroughly human, so free from morbidness and the
disposition to touch the unclean thing that it atones
for a multitude of sins in contemporaneous fiction….
In giving this wholesome, fascinating history to the
world the artist-author has done a favor to novel
readers which they cannot well repay nor fitly
express. — Indianapolis Journal.
PETER IBBETSON.
With an Introduction by his
Cousin, Lady * * * * * ( “Madge Plunket”). Edited and
illustrated by GEORGE DU MAURIER. Post 8vo,
Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
Mr. Du Maurier deserves the gratitude of all who
come across his book, both for the pleasant and tender
fancies in which it abounds and for its fourscore
dainty sketches. — Atheneum, London.
There are no suggestions of mediocrity. The pathos
is true, the irony delicate, the satire severe when
its subject is unworthy, the comedy sparkling, and the
tragedy, as we have said, inevitable. One or two more
such books, and the fame of the artist would be dim
beside that of the novelist. — N. Y. Evening Post.
The personal chalacterization is particularly
strong, the pictures of Paris are wonderfully graphic,
and the tale will induce many of its readers to attempt
Du Maurier’s receipt for “dreaming true.” —
Philadelphia Ledger.
Novelty of subject and of
treatment, literary interest, pictorial skill — the
reader must be fastidious whom none of these can
allure. — Chicago Tribune.

R. D. BLACKMORE’S NOVELS.
PERLYCROSS. A Novel. 12mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 75.
Told with delicate and delightful art. Its pictures
of rural English scenes and characters will woo and
solace the reader…. It is charming company in
charming surroundings. Its pathos, its humor and its
array of natural incidents are all satisfying. One
must feel thankful for so finished and exquisite a
story…. Not often do we find a more impressive piece
of work. — N. Y. Sun.
A new novel from the pen of R. D. Blackmore is as
great a treat to the fastidious and discriminating
