The growing popularity of George Sand IN
America is demonstrated by the fact that no
less than three American publishing houses
are now reproducing her works in this coun-
try, viz: James r. Osgood & Co. and Roberts
Brothers, Boston, and Z. B. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphia. The publishers last
mentioned print class of this versatile writ
er's works entirely different from that printed
by the other two. We have just received from
them paper-covered edition of The Last Adj
nj, a Love Story. The topic is purely senti-
mental one, and the interest centres in "mu-
steal artist" who wins the affections of noble
women, and is restrained by principle from
taking an unwarrantable advantage OF their
confidence. Price 50 cents.
