John Long's New & Forthcoming Books SIX SHILLING NOVELS Continued A YANKEE NAPOLEON By JOHN F. MACPHERSON The " Yankee Napoleon " is a scientist who manufactures a brain serum, by which his own intellect and will-power are so enormously increased that the whole of America lies helpless at his feet. He uses his power, not like a benevolent genius, but like a criminal lunatic who is held in check by no law, human or divine. How, after a devastating war, in which East and West are involved, the "Yankee Napoleon's" plans are frustrated and brought to nothingness by an English scientist and a Japanese Marquis, the reader must discover for himself. He is confidently promised a story unique in plot and inventive power, full of amazing thrills, and written with the pen of a wizard. A FULL-LENGTH PORTRAIT OF EVE By DANIEL DOUGLAS BREWER The action of this story is placed in Paris, and the characters are wholly French, but "A Full-Length Portrait of Eve" will appeal with irresistible force to English readers. In its essence it is a love-story a fiery, passionate, overwhelming love-story ; and it is written with a beauty of phrase and a distinctive style rarely to be found in the work of a new writer. THE JEWEL HOUSE By Mrs. ISABEL SMITH Mrs. Isabel Smith has already achieved a reputation by her first work, " The Minister's Guest." In her new story, "The Jewel House," the same qualities of quiet charm and literary style will be found united to a fine gift of portraiture. The incidents happen in the country, and the chief characters are a baronet, the scion of an ancient house, and a young and beautiful girl of the yeoman class. " The Jewel House " is a love-story ; but it is natural, healthy, and wholly delightful, and it cannot fail to win fresh admirers for an authoress whose work has only to be known to be justly appreciated.
