ENVERYBODY knows FANNY FERN
~ everybody has laughed and cried over
her sparkling, dashing truthful, genial writ
lngs; everybody will wish to read this her
hrst novel, and every one who does read it
VIII pronounce il her greatest work. Says
an abte critic who has read the proofsheet,
RUTH HALL is work which not only
exceeds anything which FANNY FERN
has before written, but which, in many re-
ssPects, surpasses any other work whatever.
For intense and sustained interest of nara
tive, for originality of conception and treat
ment, for scorching scarcasm and witherng
rebuke of pretentions and hypocracy, for
elevation of moral tone and winsomeness of
religious inculcations, for vigor, freshness.
simplicity, dircctness and fascination of
style, we have never seen its equal.
The story takes possession of our heart
at once; we follow RUTH through her
trials with rs much interest as though she
were our own sister; she breaths not a
sigh, she suffers not sorrow, which the
reader does not feel rs accutely as though
the first came from his own heart, and the
second was one Of his own sad experience.
The characters are such rs we are constant
iy meeting in everyday life and how bold
y and skilfully they are drawn, how pow
erfully the story is told, how touching is its
pathos, how sparkling is its wit, how ire
slstab!e its humor, how severe its satire and
how true its moral, no adequate idea can be
gained except by reading it."
RUTH HALL will be for sale by book
sellers generally. To any one sending us
the retail price we will send a copy of the
work by mail, post paid.
