The Primrose Edition COPYRIGHT NOVELS. ee Issued Monthly. 50 Cents. No. I---ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE, by Bertha M. Clay, ANOTHER MAN’s WIFE.—This is one of Bertha M. Clay’s most effective stories. It forcibly and impressibly portrays the evils certain to attend matrimonial deceit, clan- destine interviews, and all the tricks and devices which imperil a wife’s honor. It has a novel and entrancinsly interesting plot, and abounds in vivid and dramatic incidents. it is the first issue of Street & Stmitu’s Primrose Edition of Copyright Novels, and it w.ll not appear elsewhere.—Fvranklin Freeman. NO. 2---THE BELLE OF THE SEASON, by Mrs. Harriet Lewis. THE BELLE OF THE SEASON.—This is a gracefully told love story, by Mrs. Harriet Lewis aboundin sip uraiatic action and extremely captivating incidents. The plotis a marvel of ingenuity, not at all extravagant, and the love scenes are very spiritedly de- picted. The reader must adinire the adroit manner in which the hero and heroine, after 1nnumerable trials, temptations, and misunderstandings, overcome all obstacles to their union, and recognize each other’s worth. There is an underplot of deep interest which entrances the charm of romance, and every chapter develops novel and unexpected features. “The Belle of the Season” is one of Mrs. Lewis’ most entrancing works, and is likely to have a large sale.—P i ttsburg Leader. No. 3---DOCTOR JACK, by St. George Rathborne, DocTrorR JAcCK.—A novel, by St. George Rathborne, is an intensely interesting and highly dramatic modern story of an American’s adventures in sunny Spain and Oriental Turkey. The scenes are rapid in their action, and yet the reader is given entrancing glimpses of pen painted scenery along the way that charm the senses. It will be con- ceded on all sides that the author’s graphic description of the bull fight at Madrid is the most powerful ever printed : while the events connected with the great Spanish carnival must ever remain a pleasant recollection to the reader. We predict for “i’}octor Jack” a sale unequaled sin e the publication of “Mr. Barnes of New York.” The volume is handsomely gotten up, in attractive cover.—Herald. No, 4---KATHLEEN DOUGLAS, by Julia Truitt Bishop. KATHLEEN DovuG.Las.—Like the plot of an artfully constructed play is this cleverly told romance, by Julia Truitt Bishop, of love and mystery. Itis the story of a cruelly suspected yet innocent wife, against whom suspicions are aroused and disseminated by a rejected wooer—a man with the outward semblance of. a saint, yet who conceals the heart of an insatiate wretch. The interest is heightened and artistically sustained by making the daughter an inheritor of her mother’s supposed disgrace. The golden thread of a pleasing love episode is intertwined with the tragic element of the romance, and from the opening to the close the reader never loses sight of the heroine, the long-suffer- ing but eventually rewarded Kathleen Douglas. 7 No, 5-—-HER ROYAL LOVER, by Ary Ecilaw, These popular books are large type editirns, well printed, well bound, and in handsome covers.
