Maid Marian, and Other Stories

MISS SEAWELL'S BOOKS.

THROCKMORTON.

A novel presenting a strong study of contrasting characters, by an author intimately acquainted with her scene and background--the Virginia of the years immediately following the war. Paper, 50 cents; specially bound in cloth, $1.00.

"The incidents are of great interest, well-imagined, and admirably carried out. But the notable feature of the book is the rare charm of its literary expression. The language is full of grace and wit and delicate sensibility. To read is to be beguiled."--_New York Sun._

"The pages of 'Throckmorton' are alive with picturesque sketches. Its humor is never forced, and its pathos is never overdone. It is a novel to linger over."--_The Critic._

"A charming story. The author has used good English, and the reader yields to the fascination of her style."--_The Book Buyer._

"There are many quaintly humorous touches, chief among them the terrible frankness of the delightful old Mrs. Sherrard. The pathos is simple and sincere. Temple Freke is as real and as fascinating a personage as has sauntered into literature for many a day. Daring flashes of unconventional common-sense wait to surprise the reader on dozens of pages."--_Boston Transcript._

"Strong in motive, and equally strong in conception and construction. The author's style is charmingly easy, and the story is altogether delightful."--_Boston Times._

"'Throckmorton' seems to be the product of a writer so rich in resources of character, motives, and localities, that a restraining hand is ever apparent."--_St. Paul Pioneer-Press._

"Altogether, one of the ablest of the Town and Country Library."--_Montreal Gazette._

LITTLE JARVIS.

The story of the heroic midshipman of the frigate Constellation. The second of the Youth's Companion prize stories. Illustrated by J. O. Davidson and George Wharton Edwards. 8vo. Cloth, with specially designed cover, $1.00.

"Miss Seawell owns a very capable and a very delicate pen."--_New York Sun._

"The little book is one of the very best the season has brought us."--_Detroit Free Press._

"A pathetic, charming tale. 'Little Jams' will thrill many a boy's heart...."--_Brooklyn Standard-Union._

"The story of the heroism and death of Little Jarvis will thrill the heart of every reader."--_Boston Home Journal._
