Strange Case
of
Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde
BY
Sixteenth Thousand .
NEW - YORK :
1886 .
Authorized Edition .
“ Mr. Stockton has written a book which you can't discuss with
out laughing ; and that is proof enough of its quality. ”
-N . Y. TRIBUNE.
By FRANK R. STOCKTON .
“ THE LATE MRS. NULL " is one of those fortunate books that
goes beyond all expectation. Even those readers whose hopes
have been raised the highest have before them-especially in the
fact that they receive the story complete and at once, without
intermediate serial publication-such an enjoyment as they hard
ly foresee.
It is enough to say of the scene that it is chiefly in Virginia,
to show the possibilities of local character-drawing open to Mr.
Stockton in addition to his other types ; and to say that every
character is full of the most ingenious and delicious originality
is altogether needless. In an increasing scale, the situations are
still more complicated, ingenious , and enjoyable than the charac
ters ; and finally, the plot is absolutely baffling in its clever in .
tricacy yet apparent simplicity-a true device of Mr. Stockton's
tireless fancy.
“We congratulate the novel reader upon the feast there is in The Late Mrs.
Null.' " - Hartford Post.
“ We can assure prospective readers that their only regret after finishing the book
will be that never againcan they hope for the pleasure of reading it again for the
first time." - The Critic.

' No, sir, ' said the clerk. ' I understand .'
But no sooner was Mr. Utterson alone that
night, than he locked the note into his safe,
