THE END
BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
THE AZTEC TREASURE-HOUSE. A Romance of Contemporaneous Antiquity.
Ill.u.s.trated by FREDERIC REMINGTON.
This powerful story may well be ranked among the wonder books. No story-reader should miss it, for it is different from anything he has ever read.--_Christian at Work_, N.Y.
THE UNCLE OF AN ANGEL, and Other Stories.
Janvier stands in the first rank as a writer of short stories, and a new volume coming from him is sure to meet with success. In the present instance it well deserves to, for the stories it contains, from the one which gives it its t.i.tle to the last between the covers, are among his best.--_Christian at Work_, N.Y.
IN OLD NEW YORK. With 13 Maps and 58 Ill.u.s.trations.
Overflows with all sorts of minute and curious information concerning both the old and the recent town.... Mr. Janvier has long been a zealous and sympathetic student of this subject. His text is supplemented with numerous maps and ill.u.s.trations, instructive and interesting.--_N.Y. Sun_.
