The Great American Society Novel with "The Most Lovable Heroine in Modern Fiction" TRUTH DEXTER By SIDNEY MCCALL Little, Brown & Company, Publishers, 254 Washington Street, BOSTON Harper's Magazine URING the year just past, HARPER'S MAGAZINE has proven more fully than ever before its right to the position accorded it by the London Daily News as "the best illustrated magazine in the English language." Its pictures in colors and tints, reproduced from paintings by famous artists, as well as those in black and white, are a distinct advance over anything heretofore done here or in any other country. EDITOR DITORIALLY, as well as artistically, the MAGAZINE next year will excel even its own record-the only standard by which it can be measured. If you have seen a copy of it recently, there is no more to be said-you know it is the one magazine of the world. IN N its special articles the same breadth of scope and authority of treatment which have maintained for HARPER'S MAGAZINE its position in America and England as the magazine will be observed. Literature, art, history, travel, science, archaeology, sociology-all will be treated by the most eminent authorities, the greatest editorial care being taken that each contribution to each number of the MAGAZINE shall be one of final and exhaustive authority. MARK TWAIN has a new novelette ready-he will write only for Harpers' publications during 1902-and in this little novel, which begins early in the year, he goes back to the naïve humor of his early youth. It is a great story. EDW DWIN A. ABBEY, beyond question the greatest artist alive to-day, the man who has been appointed by the British Government to paint the Coronation of Edward VII., has already made a number of pictures which will be published in the MAGAZINE all through the year. Mr. Abbey will work only for HARPER'S MAGAZINE and the British Government during 1902. [OVER] Harper's Magazine MRS. HUMPHRY WARD has written a novel stronger than "Eleanor and greater than David Grieve." It begins serially in the early spring. Mrs. Ward's work cannot be added to by comment. ROSA BONHEUR, who painted animals as they are, has left a number of her wonderful studies of animal life to be published. These marvellous paintings, in themselves an education to the artist, will be reproduced in tint from time to time. Harper's has the exclusive use of her work. PROF GEORGE E. WOODBERRY will contribute a series of delightful papers on American Life and Letters; W. D. Howells will write exclusively for HARPER'S; Prof. Woodrow Wilson has in hand a number of articles dealing with interesting phases in our country's history; men of science in Europe and America will tell of their discoveries and experiments in the realm of electricity, biology, and medicine; and men of action are now making excursions into little-known parts of the earth from Patagonia to Tibet, that you may read their adventures in these pages. אן N the short stories and in those sketches which are SO distinctively HARPER'S, the MAGAZINE will be more novel, more dramatic, more original than ever, bringing to you month by month not only all the old favorites, but new names, younger writers, with fresh enthusiasms and imaginations-names which you shall help to make favorite and famous. AN illustrated booklet, handsomely printed in colors, and giving the plans of the MAGAZINE for 1902, will be sent, postage prepaid, on application. To our old friends we trust that these announcements may give the pleasure of anticipation. To those who are not yet on the footing of old acquaintance, we hope that this silhouette of the scheme of the MAGAZINE will prove so attractive that they may be tempted to the closer and more constant relation of the subscriber.
