Excerpt from Orion, the Gold Beater or True Hearts and False: A Tale of New York Life It would be gilding refined gold to introduce Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., to the lovers of fiction in the United States. There are few to whom his name is not a household word, so that it is not as an introduction to the author that the publishers print this note. They give it merely to set forth a few facts in connection with the publication of Mr. Cobb's works by them. For a number of years it was only through the columns of the New York Herald that Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., could reach his public, and it is unnecessary to say that his extraordinary popularity added largely to the circulation of that journal. What this popularity was and how lasting its quality may be judged from the fact that Mr. Bonner reprinted his stories in the very columns where they made their first appearance. He was shrewd enough to appreciate that the taste of one generation of readers is not unlike that of another, and he printed for the delectation of the sons the stories that had kept their fathers up into the small hours to read. They were only accessible through the columns of the Ledger until now that the undersigned have arranged for their publication in book form. That masterpiece of the decently sensational novel, " Orion the Goldbeater, " is the first of Mr. Cobb's stories to find itself between covers, and others will follow in the Sunshine Library at short intervals. His "Orion the Goldbeater" is a story of New York life, and is as true to-day as when the author wrote it. The scenes are just the same, the characters just as real, and the interest as intense as when a quarter of a million readers were waiting breathlessly for its appearance from week to week.
