BY

EMERSON BENNETT,

AUTHOR OF "THE FORGED WILL," "VIOLA," "PIONEER'S DAUGHTER," "WALDE-WARREN," ETC. "We consider this altogether the best fiction which Mr. Bennett has yet written. In saying this, we pay him the highest possible compliment, as he has long been one of the most popular of American Novelists. His publisher has done every thing that was possible to add to the public desire for the work, having issued it in a very handsome style, so that its dress might not disgrace its merits. Clara Moreland is destined to have an immense sale."—Ladies' National Magazine. "This work is of the most exciting character, and will be enjoyed by all who have a cultivated taste."—Baltimore Sun. "It is written with a great deal of spirit; it abounds in stirring incidents and adventures, has a good love-plot interwoven with it, and is a faithful representation of Life in the Far South-West. Mr. Bennett is destined to great popularity."—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. "This is a thrilling story of frontier life, full of incident, and graphically sketched. It is published in a good style."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. "It is a brilliant and thrilling production, and will interest all who love to read. A love story runs through the volume, lending grace and finish to it. Clara Moreland should command a large sale."—Philadelphia City Item. "This is decidedly the best novel Mr. Bennett has written. He tells his story well. The plot abounds with adventure, and presents many scenes of startling interest, while the denouement is such as to amply satisfy the most fastidious reader's ideas of poetical justice. We would add a few words of praise for the excellent style in which this book is gotten up. It is well printed on good paper, and bound in a manner to correspond with its typography."—Arthur's Home Gazette.
