A NEW AND
SPLENDIDLY-ILLUSTRATED POPULAR EDITION
OF
FENIMORE COOPER'S
WORLD-FAMOUS
Leather-Stocking Romances.

D. Appleton & Co. announce that they have commenced the publication of J.
Fenimore Cooper's Novels, in a form designed for general popular circulation. The
Series will begin with the famous “Leather-Stocking Tales,” five in number, and
will be published in the following order, at intervals of about a month:

I. The Last of the Mohicans.
II. The Deerslayer.
III. The Pathfinder.
IV. The Pioneers.
V. The Prairie.

This edition of the “Leather-Stocking Tales” will be printed in handsome octavo
volumes, from new stereotype plates, each volume superbly and fully illustrated with
entirely new designs by the distinguished artist, F. O. C. Darley, and bound in an
attractive paper cover. Price, 75 cents per volume.

Heretofore there has been no edition of the acknowledged head of American
romancists suitable for general popular circulation, and hence the new issue of these
famous novels will be welcomed by the generation of readers that have sprung up
since Cooper departed from us. As time progresses, the character, genius, and
value of the Cooper romances become more widely recognized; he is now accepted
as the great classic of our American literature, and his books as the prose epics of
our early history.

“Good-bye, Sweetheart!” is certainly one of the brightest and
most entertaining novels that has appeared for many years. The
heroine of the story, Lenore, is really an original character, drawn
only as a woman could draw her, who had looked deeply into the
mysterious recesses of the feminine heart. She is a creation totally
beyond the scope of a man's pen, unless it were the pen of
Shakespeare. Her beauty, her wilfulness, her caprice, her love,
and her sorrow, are depicted with marvellous skill, and invested
with an interest of which the reader never becomes weary. Miss
Broughton, in this work, has made an immense advance on her
other stories, clever as those are. Her sketches of scenery and of
interiors, though brief, are eminently graphic, and the dialogue is
always sparkling and witty. The incidents, though sometimes
startling and unexpected, are very natural, and the characters and
story, from the beginning to the end, strongly enchain the attention
of the reader.

Opinions of the Press on “Red as a Rose is She.”

From the Boston Traveller.

“After reading such a work, one can no more read an ordinary book than one
could enjoy a lunch on dry bread immediately after having dined on curry and Chili,
washed down with burnt brandy.”

From the Baltimore Gazette.

“The eleverest novel of the season. The characters are few, but remarkably
well drawn; the dialogue fresh, crisp, and sparkling, and the incidents thoroughly
natural.”
