HARPER & BROTHERS
Have Just Published:

A NOVEL. By the Author of " Owen: A Waif," &c. 8vo, Paper, 75 cents. OPINIONS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. Saturday Review. A healthier novel we have not seen for many a season. To have depicted such a character as Mattie Gray, and to have depicted it successfully, is no slight achievement either ethical or aesthetical. Athenoeum. "Mattis ; a Stray," is a novel that ought to take a higher rank than that of an ephemeral work of fiction. Mettle is a charming heroine. She and her life are painted after the life. The story is full of interest at every page. Spectator. There is great ability in this book. Sent by Mail, Postage prepaid, on receipt of Price.
