Or the Gentle Heart. By ANNIE S. SWAN. With 3 Illustrations printed in
colours. Crown 8vo, cloth extra, 2_s._
"Warner's Chase" is a domestic story, in which we see the failure of
an essentially self-seeking and self-assertive nature to secure
happiness to itself, or bestow it upon others, and the triumph of
gentleness, love, and unselfish service, in the person of a feeble
girl, over the coldness and indifference of a heart contracted and
hardened by a life-long pursuit of gain.
"Is a good book for boys and girls. There is nothing sentimental
and no sickly goodyism in it, but a tone of quiet and true religion
that keeps its own place."--_Perth Advertiser._
"In Milly Warren, the heroine, who softens the hard heart of her
rich uncle, and thus unwittingly restores the family fortunes, we
have a fine ideal of real womanly goodness."--_Schoolmaster._
