THE DESCENDANT. A Novel. Post 8vo, Cloth,Ornamental, $1 25.

The writer has a sure touch, a firm and philosophicallyconsistent hold upon his theme, much delicacy of perception,and a sane sense of humor. The style, if notof the fastidiously fine school, is fluent and often brilliant.... The character drawing is vivid and realistic.—BostonTranscript.

The characters here are skilfully drawn, and the dramain which they take part is unusually novel and impressive.... The work of an author who has not written at random,but who has woven into a strong story some of thecardinal truths of modern science.—N. Y. Herald.
