Does not appear in the catalogue of the Library of Congress or Harvard.¶ With Bookseller's blindstamp on upper wrapper of John G. Hines Bookseller Baltimore.<br/>While popular fiction the hero as a mysterious magician performed "every species and grade of chicanery slight-of-hand and legerdemain.the stage was one mass of elegant and costly trappings peculiarly adapted to the use of the great performer from the magnificent polished silver 'mirror of fate' upon which the magician read the passing thoughts of any of his audience.down to the tiny golden thimble.out of which he showered scores of bouquets and bon-bons and the rarest of ripened fruit." In pursuit of the heroine he performed a special feat which is described "the signor placed the glove upon a vase of living coals .it burned to a cinder.the ashes were as quickly collected by the magician who placed the smoky and blackened ruins upon a clean silver salver. This he placed upon a small table near the foot-lights and then apologized and.declared his willingness to make some amend.and forthwith he commenced an unintelligible incantation over the ashes. Immediately a wreath of bright blue smoke was seen to rise directly from the centre of the salver; and as the attentive audience watched a bud succeeded then a blossom and as it slowly rose from the surface of the dish a pure white flower grew out from the stem.another bud appeared.from out its centre seemingly there flew a magnificent dove which hovered over the table and then alighted on the magician's shoulder." <br/>Includes "Ashenputtel-A German Legend" translated by Thomas Bullfinch; Mrs. Sophronia Currier's "The Artist Bride" "Guilt and Retribution. A Tale of the Time of Richard III" by Sarah M. Howe; Mrs. Caroline Orne's "Edith Stanfield. A Tale of the Olden Time" and Francis A. Durivage's "The Colonel's Legacy.
