# The Robbers (Schiller)/Advertisement

ADVERTISEMENT.
THE Author of this Tragedy, Mr Schiller, was educated in the Ecole Militaire, founded by the Duke of Wirtemberg. At the age of twenty-three, he wrote this piece, which procured him the highest reputation over all Germany; but the rigour of that institution, to whose discipline he was then subjected, being adverse to such pursuits, he was prohibited the use of his pen, under pain of imprisonment. Indignant at this unworthy restraint, he left his native country, and now resides at Manheim, where he has the title of Aulic Counsellor of the Palatinate of Bavaria. Besides this Tragedy, he is the Author of two others, The Conspiracy of Fiesco, and Cabal and Love. He was ​likewise employed lately in the composition of a Tragedy on the story of Don Carlos; but whether it is yet finished or not, is uncertain. The three Plays above mentioned are published in one volume, printed at Manheim, by C. F. Schwan and G. C. Goetz, 1786.

# Carmella Commands

Carmella Coletta, an Italian teenage girl who immigrated to America with her family when she was very young, must be the family translator as neither of her parents speak English. She needs to help her father navigate a deal worth a hundred times more than anything they've done before, whether he wants her to or not. At home, she must balance handling all the family's official business and obeying her mother, who is struggling to relate to her English speaking children.
Winner of the Harper-American Girl Magazine contest, which had hundreds of entries from around the world and awarded a $2,000 prize.

# The "Canary" Murder Case (1927)/Advertisements

Another great "case" in which Philo Vance investigates and solves the baffling murder of Alvin Benson, Wall Street broker and man-about-town. Unanimously praised by the critics of England and America.
"Full of the unexpected and remarkably well told. An original detective story of very high order."—The Scots Observer (London).
"In workmanship and interest one of the outstanding mystery tales of the last two years."—Record (Philadelphia).
"A very nearly perfect mystery story which can be placed with the masterpieces of its kind. . . . Positively, we feel inclined to place this in the first fifteen or twenty or even less of the very best crime stories which have been produced."—News (Buffalo).
"Seldom has one been so captivated by a murder case which really does thrill."—The Sussex (England) Daily News.
"Among the best of its kind. The reader will be thrillingly interested in all the details."—Globe-Democrat (St. Louis).
"Philo Vance is a real addition to the great company of amateur detectives."—The London Times Literary Supplement.
"The story is absorbing in interest, pushing steadily to its surprising climax and revealing Philo Vance as a new and delightful member of the little coterie in which Sherlock Holmes is the most familiar name."—Republican (Springfield).
"Will put Vance high in the respect, if not the affection, of connoisseurs."—The Outlook (London).
"An engrossing mystery tale."—The Outlook (New York).
"A book which is a pleasure to read from a literary point of view as well as for its story."—The Birmingham (England) Mail.
"A detective story that is really different. Not only a detective story, but literature, also."—News (Detroit).
"One of the best detective stories I have ever read."—William Lyon Phelps.
