FLOYD GRANDON'S HONOR.

"Fascinating throughout, and worthy of the reputation of the author."—Philadelphia Methodist.

WHOM KATHIE MARRIED.

Kathie was the heroine of the popular series of Kathie Stories for young people, the readers of which were very anxious to know with whom Kathie settled down in life. Hence this story, charmingly written.

LOST IN A GREAT CITY.

"There is the power of delineation and robustness of expression that would credit a masculine hand in the present volume, and the reader will at no stage of the reading regret having commenced its perusal. In some parts it is pathetic, even to eloquence."—San Francisco Post.

THE OLD WOMAN WHO LIVED IN A SHOE.

"The romances of Miss Douglas's creation are all thrillingly interesting."—Cambridge Tribune.

HOPE MILLS; or, Between Friend and Sweetheart.

"Amanda Douglas is one of the favorite authors of American novel-readers."—Manchester Mirror.

FROM HAND TO MOUTH.

"There is real satisfaction in reading this book, from the fact that we can so readily 'take it home' to ourselves."—Portland Argus.

NELLY KINNARD'S KINGDOM.

"The Hartford Religious Herald" says, "This story is so fascinating, that one can hardly lay it down after taking it up."

IN TRUST; or, Dr. Bertrand's Household.

"She writes in a free, fresh, and natural way; and her characters are never overdrawn."—Manchester Mirror.

CLAUDIA.

"The plot is very dramatic, and the dénoûment startling. Claudia, the heroine, is one of those self-sacrificing characters which it is the glory of the female sex to produce."—Boston Journal.

STEPHEN DANE.

"This is one of this author's happiest and most successful attempts at novel-writing, for which a grateful public will applaud her."—Herald.

HOME NOOK: or, the Crown of Duty.

"An interesting story of home-life, not wanting in incident, and written in forcible and attractive style."—New York Graphic.

SYDNIE ADRIANCE; or, Trying the World.

"The works of Miss Douglas have stood the test of popular judgment, and become the fashion. They are true, natural in delineation, pure and elevating in their tone."—Express, Easton, Penn.

SEVEN DAUGHTERS.

The charm of the story is the perfectly natural and home-like air which pervades it.
