UNIFORM EDITION. EACH, I2MO. CLOTH, $1.50.
DOG-MYRTLE AND PEAT.
" Here are idyls, epics, dramas of human life, written in words that ihrill and b:irn. . . . Each is a poem that has an immortal flavor. They are fragments of the author's early dreams, too bright, loo gorgeous, too full of the blood of rubies and the life of diamonds to be caught and heU palpitating in expression's grasp."— Boston Courier,
"Contains some of the most dramatic pieces Mr. Crockett has yet written, and in these picturesque sketches he is altogether delightful. . . . The %olume is well worth readi.ig — all of it."— Phiiaielphia fress.
" Hardly a sketch among them all that will not afford pleasure to the reader for its genial humor, artistic local coloring, and admirable portrayal of character." — Boston tjoine Journal.
" One dips into the book anywhere and reads on and on, fascinated by the writer's charm of manner." — Minneapolis Tribune.
" These stories are lively and vigorous, and have many touches of human nature in them -such touches as we are used to from having read ' The Stickit Minister' and ' The Lilac Sunbonnet.' " — New Haven Register.
" ' Bog-Myrtle and Peat' contains stories which could only have been written by a man of genius. " — London Chronicle.
T
HE LILAC SUNBONNE7\ A Lwe Story.
" A love story pure and simole, one of the old-fashioned, wholesome, sunshiny kind, with a pure-minded, sound-hearted hero, and a heroine who is merely a good and beau:iful woman; and if any other love story half so sweet has been written this year, it has escaped our notice." — New York Times.
" A solid novel with an old time flavor, as refreshing when compared to the average modern story as is a whiff of air from the hills to one just come from a hothouse."— Boston Beacon.
" The general conception of the story, the motive of which is the growth of love be- tween the young chief and heroine, is delineated with a sweetness and a freshness, a naturalness and a certainty, which places 'The Lilac Sunbonnet' among the best stories of the time " — New York Mail and Extress.
" In its own line this little love story can hardly be excelled. It is a pastoral, an idyl— the story of love and courtship and marriage of a fine young man and a lovely girl — no more. But it is told in so thoroughly delightful a manner, with such playful humor, such delicate fancy, such true and sympathetic feeling, that nothing more could be ilesired." — Boston Traveller.
" A charming love story, redolent of the banks and braes and lochs and pines, healthy to the core, the love that God made for man and woman's first glimpse of para- dise, and a constant reminder of it."— San Francisco Call.
