Loves Martyr is the title of novel
by Laurence Alma Tadema. 1t is from the
press of D. Appleton G. Co, New York,
and is for sale by G. S. Houghton, Sacra
mento, at so cents in paper covers. The
story is somber and doleful. If only it were
possessed of some high lights, it would be
vastly relieved But solemn, painful, in
tensely SO, as it is, the testimony is patent
that practiced hand drew the picture. 1t
is work of strength, knowledge of human
motives, grace of style, elegance of diction,
artistic finish, strong, and speaks for the
perceptive powers of the author as one al
most phenomenal. 1t is pity that so well
drawn a picture as this should be 50 full of
shadows.

have two more of the charming little vol

mendation, since it places an amount of

reach of thousands who would otherwise
not be able to read choice works, or at least
| to possess them. The two new numbers
