"It is published in a unique and attractive style, as a slender volume seven inches long by three and a half wide, the print occupying no more space than the column of a newspaper; bound in reddish linen with deep red title and ornamental tooling; the whole so convenient and readable that if all the books bear a favorable

comparison with this, the Unknown Library is destined to become well known."-Providence Sunday Journal.

FENN, G. Manville.

A double knot. United States Bk. Co. 12°, (Lovell's international ser., no. 141.) pap., 50 c.

"A recent addition to Lovell's International

Series is A double knot,' by George Manville Fenn. It is an interesting novel of a somewhat highly colored character, and contains an overlong prologue concerning an illegitimate child. It will, however, please those who like their fiction highly spiced. Another book in the same series is A mint of money; or, Norman Gartram's heir,' by the same popular author. It is a briskly told narrative, in which the dialogue is especially bright and natural. The characters possess much individuality, and their places in the development of the plot are consistently maintained throughout. The novel is one well calculated to capture the popular fancy."-Boston

'Lieutenant Raymond de Beaurand, a rich young Frenchman, kills himself a few hours after his marriage to the beautiful Estelle Brunaire. No reason can be found for this act, which puzzles greatly the detective who takes the case in hand, and he even begins to suspect the widowed bride. At last a clue is obtained, and an old nurse tells of the letter she had written to De Beaurand containing information about his real relationship to Estelle Brunaire, but which reached him too late."-Chicago Herald.

Mademoiselle. Dut

"A story of the Franco-Prussian war and the Commune. The scene opens in a village in the north of France, and afterward shifts to Paris, where incidents during the siege and while the insurrection takes place are picturesquely and truthfully described in a straightforward and simple autobiographic style that is very attractive.

The characters are well drawn and contrasted, and though the situations are thrilling, there is nothing in the narrative that is introduced for purely sensational effect. The tale has a moral which accords fully with the motto on its titlepage: We needs must love the highest when we see it.' The book will delight not only those who are familiar with The rose garden' and 'Mother Molly,' by the same author, but also hundreds of new readers."-Boston Gazette.

"A wonderfully interesting page from Scandanavian history. It is chiefly concerned with the prolonged struggle between the stubborn heathenism of the North and Christianity. The volume opens with an account of the heathendom that existed before the Christian era, with its myths, its legends, its mingling of history with tradition, its superstitions, and then sets forth the state of Christendom at the period when the Vikings made their first attack on it. From this point the story becomes of absorbing attractiveness, especially in the picture it affords of the indomitable Vikings, their daring, their cruelty, their persistent fight against the Chris tian faith until they were eventually absorbed into it. The volume shows wide reading, deep thought and thorough digestion of the immense mass of material the author had at hand. It is excellent in arrangement, picturesque in style, clear, consecutive and edifying. It is the work of an able and enthusiastic scholar, and can hardly fail to enlist the earnest attention and the profound esteem of students of history."-Boston Gazette.

Since the edition of 1884 Robert Browning has died, and some of his poems have been added to the collection among the new material.
