A SHORT HISTORY OF THE BRITISH ARMY. By Lieut.-Colonel Cooper King, of
the Staff College, Camberley. _Illustrated. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d._
This volume aims at describing the nature of the different armies that
have been formed in Great Britain, and how from the early and feudal
levies the present standing army came to be. The changes in tactics,
uniform, and armament are briefly touched upon, and the campaigns in
which the army has shared have been so far followed as to explain the
part played by British regiments in them.
G. W. STEEVENS
NAVAL POLICY: With a Description of English and Foreign Navies. By G.
W. Steevens. _Demy 8vo. 6s._
This book is a description of the British and other more important
navies of the world, with a sketch of the lines on which our naval
policy might possibly be developed. It describes our recent naval
policy, and shows what our naval force really is. A detailed
but non-technical account is given of the instruments of modern
warfare--guns, armour, engines, and the like--with a view to determine
how far we are abreast of modern invention and modern requirements.
An ideal policy is then sketched for the building and manning of our
fleet; and the last chapter is devoted to docks, coaling-stations, and
especially colonial defence.
Theology
F. B. JEVONS
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE HISTORY OF RELIGION. By F. B. Jevons, M.A.,
Litt. D., Tutor at the University of Durham. _Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d._
This is the third number of the series of 'Theological Handbooks'
edited by Dr. Robertson of Durham, in which have already appeared Dr.
Gibson's 'XXXIX. Articles' and Mr. Ottley's 'Incarnation.'
Mr. F. B. Jevons' 'Introduction to the History of Religion' treats of
early religion, from the point of view of Anthropology and Folk-lore;
and is the first attempt that has been made in any language to weave
together the results of recent investigations into such topics as
Sympathetic Magic, Taboo, Totemism. Fetishism, etc., so as to present
a systematic account of the growth of primitive religion and the
development of early religious institutions.
W. YORKE FAUSSETT
THE _DE CATECHIZANDIS RUDIBUS_ OF ST. AUGUSTINE. Edited, with
Introduction, Notes, etc., by W. Yorke Faussett, M.A., late Scholar of
Balliol Coll. _Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._
An edition of a Treatise on the Essentials of Christian Doctrine,
and the best methods of impressing them on candidates for baptism.
The editor bestows upon this patristic work the same care which a
treatise of Cicero might claim. There is a general Introduction, a
careful Analysis, a full Commentary, and other useful matter. No
better introduction to the study of the Latin Fathers, their style and
diction, could be found than this treatise, which also has no lack of
modern interest.

Poetry
~Rudyard Kipling.~ BARRACK-ROOM BALLADS; And Other Verses. By Rudyard
Kipling. _Ninth Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character....
Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'--_Times._
'"Barrack-Room Ballads" contains some of the best work that Mr.
Kipling has ever done, which is saying a good deal. "Fuzzy-Wuzzy,"
"Gunga Din," and "Tommy," are, in our opinion, altogether superior
to anything of the kind that English literature has hitherto
produced.'--_Athenæum._
'The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion. We
read them with laughter and tears; the metres throb in our pulses, the
cunningly ordered words tingle with life; and if this be not poetry,
what is?'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
"~Q.~" THE GOLDEN POMP: A Procession of English Lyrics from Surrey to
Shirley, arranged by A. T. Quiller Couch. _Crown 8vo._ _Buckram._ 6_s._

of metre, and a very pretty turn of humour.'--_Times._

excellence.'--_Times._

_Crown 8vo._ 3_s._ 6_d._
'An attractive and catholic selection.'--_Times._
'It is edited by the most original and most accomplished of modern
Irish poets, and against his editing but a single objection can be
brought, namely, that it excludes from the collection his own delicate
lyrics.'--_Saturday Review._
~E. Mackay.~ A SONG OF THE SEA: My Lady of Dreams, and other Poems.
By Eric Mackay, Author of 'The Love Letters of a Violinist.' _Second
Edition._ _Fcap. 8vo, gilt top._ 5_s._

by all the characteristics of the best rhetoric. He has a keen
sense of rhythm and of general balance; his verse is excellently
sonorous.'--_Globe._
'Throughout the book the poetic workmanship is fine.'--_Scotsman._
~Ibsen.~ BRAND. A Drama by Henrik Ibsen. Translated by William Wilson.
_Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d._
'The greatest world-poem of the nineteenth century next to "Faust." It
is in the same set with "Agamemnon," with "Lear," with the literature
that we now instinctively regard as high and holy,'--_Daily Chronicle._
~"A.G."~ VERSES TO ORDER. By "A. G." _Cr. 8vo. 2s. 6d. net._
A small volume of verse by a writer whose initials are well known to

School Edition. 2s. 6d._
'A very happy conception happily carried out. These "Ballads of the
Brave" are intended to suit the real tastes of boys, and will suit the
taste of the great majority.'--_Spectator._
'The book is full of splendid things.'--_World._
~Lang and Craigie.~ THE POEMS OF ROBERT BURNS. Edited by Andrew Lang
and W. A. Craigie. With Portrait. _Demy 8vo, gilt top. 6s._
This edition contains a carefully collated Text, numerous Notes,
critical and textual, a critical and biographical Introduction, and a
Glossary.
'Among the editions in one volume, Mr. Andrew Lang's will take the
place of authority.'--_Times._
'To the general public the beauty of its type, and the fair
proportions of its pages, as well as the excellent chronological
arrangement of the poems, should make it acceptable enough. Mr.
Lang and his publishers have certainly succeeded in producing an
attractive popular edition of the poet, in which the brightly written
biographical introduction is not the least notable feature.'--_Glasgow
Herald._

'Very dainty volumes are these; the paper, type, and light-green
binding are all very agreeable to the eye. _Simplex munditiis_ is the
phrase that might be applied to them.'--_Globe._

size, and pleasant to look upon, so that whether on the shelf, or on
the table, or in the hand the possessor is thoroughly content with
them.'--_Guardian._

and leave nothing to be desired by lovers of literature.'--_Standard._

'Mr. Baring Gould has done a good deed, and is deserving of gratitude,
in re-writing in honest, simple style the old stories that delighted
the childhood of "our fathers and grandfathers." We do not think
he has omitted any of our favourite stories, the stories that are
commonly regarded as merely "old fashioned." As to the form of the
book, and the printing, which is by Messrs. Constable, it were
difficult to commend overmuch.--_Saturday Review._

Baring Gould. With Numerous Illustrations by F. D. Bedford. _Second
Edition_. _Crown 8vo_. _Buckram_. 6_s._

The stories have been selected with great ingenuity from various

delightful English, to enchant youthful readers. All the tales are
good.'--_Guardian._

Baring Gould, and Illustrated by the Birmingham Art School. _Buckram,
gilt top_. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'The volume is very complete in its way, as it contains nursery
songs to the number of 77, game-rhymes, and jingles. To the student
we commend the sensible introduction, and the explanatory notes.
The volume is superbly printed on soft, thick paper, which it is
a pleasure to touch; and the borders and pictures are, as we have
said, among the very best specimens we have seen of the Gaskin
school.'--_Birmingham Gazette._
~H. C. Beeching.~ A BOOK OF CHRISTMAS VERSE. Edited by H. C. Beeching,
M.A., and Illustrated by Walter Crane. _Crown 8vo, gilt top. 5s._
A collection of the best verse inspired by the birth of Christ from
the Middle Ages to the present day. A distinction of the book is the
large number of poems it contains by modern authors, a few of which
are here printed for the first time.
'An anthology which, from its unity of aim and high poetic excellence,
has a better right to exist than most of its fellows.'--_Guardian._

His learning is amazing, both in extent and accuracy. The book is
issued in a handy form, and at a moderate price, and it is admirably
printed.'--_Times._
'The edition is edited as a classic should be edited, removing
nothing, yet indicating the value of the text, and bringing it up to
date. It promises to be of the utmost value, and will be a welcome
addition to many libraries.'--_Scotsman._
'This edition, so far as one may judge from the first instalment, is
a marvel of erudition and critical skill, and it is the very minimum
of praise to predict that the seven volumes of it will supersede
Dean Milman's as the standard edition of our great historical
classic.'--_Glasgow Herald._
'The beau-ideal Gibbon has arrived at last.'--_Sketch._
'At last there is an adequate modern edition of Gibbon.... The best
edition the nineteenth century could produce.'--_Manchester Guardian._

Vol. I. Prehistoric Times to XVI. Dynasty. W. M. F.

accurate study, and supply a vacant place in the English literature of

Illustrated by Tristram Ellis. _In Two Volumes. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d.

'Professor Flinders Petrie is not only a profound Egyptologist, but
an accomplished student of comparative archæology. In these lectures,
delivered at the Royal Institution, he displays both qualifications
with rare skill in elucidating the development of decorative art in
Egypt, and in tracing its influence on the art of other countries. Few
experts can speak with higher authority and wider knowledge than the
Professor himself, and in any case his treatment of his subject is
full of learning and insight.'--_Times._
~S. Baring Gould.~ THE TRAGEDY OF THE CÆSARS. The Emperors of the
Julian and Claudian Lines. With numerous Illustrations from Busts,
Gems, Cameos, etc. By S. Baring Gould, Author of 'Mehalah,' etc. _Third
Edition. Royal 8vo. 15s._
'A most splendid and fascinating book on a subject of undying
interest. The great feature of the book is the use the author has made
of the existing portraits of the Caesars, and the admirable critical
subtlety he has exhibited in dealing with this line of research. It is
brilliantly written, and the illustrations are supplied on a scale of
profuse magnificence.'--_Daily Chronicle._
'The volumes will in no sense disappoint the general reader. Indeed,
in their way, there is nothing in any sense so good in English.... Mr.
Baring Gould has presented his narrative in such a way as not to make
one dull page.'--_Athenæum._

BARABBAS: A DREAM OF THE WORLD'S TRAGEDY. _Twenty-fifth Edition._
'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty
of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception,
and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject
cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in
the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the
Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight,
and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is, despite some trifling
incongruities, a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme
climax of the inspired narrative.'--_Dublin Review._
THE SORROWS OF SATAN. _Twenty-ninth Edition._
'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and
is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The
author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity....
This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much
of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary
phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'--W. T. Stead in the _Review
of Reviews_.
Anthony Hope's Novels
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
THE GOD IN THE CAR. _Seventh Edition._
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible
within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered,
but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that
conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine
literary method is a keen pleasure; true without cynicism, subtle
without affectation, humorous without strain, witty without offence,
inevitably sad, with an unmorose simplicity.'--_The World._
A CHANGE OF AIR. _Fourth Edition._
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters
are traced with a masterly hand.'--_Times._
A MAN OF MARK. _Third Edition._
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best
compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda." The two romances are
unmistakably the work of the same writer, and he possesses a style
of narrative peculiarly seductive, piquant, comprehensive, and--his
own.'--_National Observer._
THE CHRONICLES OF COUNT ANTONIO. _Third Edition._
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure
romance. The outlawed Count is the most constant, desperate, and
withal modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid
fighter, a very faithful friend, and a most magnanimous foe. In short,
he is an altogether admirable, lovable, and delightful hero. There is
not a word in the volume that can give offence to the most fastidious
taste of man or woman, and there is not, either, a dull paragraph in
it. The book is everywhere instinct with the most exhilarating spirit
of adventure, and delicately perfumed with the sentiment of all heroic
and honourable deeds of history and romance.'--_Guardian._
S. Baring Gould's Novels
_Crown 8vo. 6s. each._
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that
it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic
possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a
wealth of ingenious imagery.'--_Speaker._
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a
conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life
are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic,
the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his
characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people,
are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his
descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes
and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and
never dull, and under such conditions it is no wonder that readers
have gained confidence both in his power of amusing and satisfying
them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'--_Court Circular._
ARMINELL: A Social Romance. _Fourth Edition._
URITH: A Story of Dartmoor. _Fourth Edition._
'The author is at his best.'--_Times._
'He has nearly reached the high water-mark of "Mehalah."'--_National

interest.'--_Daily Telegraph._

Observer._
'Full of quaint and delightful studies of character.'--_Bristol
Mercury._
NOÉMI: A Romance of the Cave-Dwellers. Illustrated by R. Caton
Woodville. _Third Edition._
'"Noémi" is as excellent a tale of fighting and adventure as one may
wish to meet. All the characters that interfere in this exciting tale
are marked with properties of their own. The narrative also runs clear
and sharp as the Loire itself.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
'Mr. Baring Gould's powerful story is full of the strong lights
and shadows and vivid colouring to which he has accustomed
us.'--_Standard._
THE BROOM-SQUIRE. Illustrated by Frank Dadd. _Third Edition._
'A strain of tenderness is woven through the web of his tragic tale,
and its atmosphere is sweetened by the nobility and sweetness of the
heroine's character.'--_Daily News._
'A story of exceptional interest that seems to us to be better than
anything he has written of late.'--_Speaker._
'A powerful and striking story.'--_Guardian._
'A powerful piece of work.'--_Black and White._

'A splendid study of character.'--_Athenæum._
'But little behind anything that has been done by any writer of our
time.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
'A very striking and admirable novel.'--_St. James's Gazette._
THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE.
'The plot is original and one difficult to work out; but Mr. Parker
has done it with great skill and delicacy. The reader who is not
interested in this original, fresh, and well-told tale must be a dull
person indeed.'--_Daily Chronicle._
'A strong and successful piece of workmanship. The portrait
of Lali, strong, dignified, and pure, is exceptionally well
drawn.'--_Manchester Guardian._
THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. _Fourth Edition._
'Everybody with a soul for romance will thoroughly enjoy "The Trail of
the Sword."'--_St. James's Gazette._
'A rousing and dramatic tale. A book like this, in which swords flash,
great surprises are undertaken, and daring deeds done, in which men
and women live and love in the old straightforward passionate way,
is a joy inexpressible to the reviewer, brain-weary of the domestic
tragedies and psychological puzzles of everyday fiction; and we cannot
but believe that to the reader it will bring refreshment as welcome
and as keen.'--_Daily Chronicle._
WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC: The Story of a Lost Napoleon. _Third
Edition._
'Here we find romance--real, breathing, living romance, but it runs
flush with our own times, level with our own feelings. Not here can
we complain of lack of inevitableness or homogeneity. The character
of Valmond is drawn unerringly; his career, brief as it is, is placed
before us as convincingly as history itself. The book must be read,
we may say re-read, for any one thoroughly to appreciate Mr. Parker's
delicate touch and innate sympathy with humanity.'--_Pall Mall
Gazette._
'The one work of genius which 1895 has as yet produced.'--_New Age._
AN ADVENTURER OF THE NORTH: The Last Adventures of 'Pretty Pierre.'
'The present book is full of fine and moving stories of the
great North, and it will add to Mr. Parker's already high
reputation.'--_Glasgow Herald._
'The new book is very romantic and very entertaining--full of that
peculiarly elegant spirit of adventure which is so characteristic of
Mr. Parker, and of that poetic thrill which has given him warmer, if
less numerous, admirers than even his romantic story-telling gift has
done.'--_Sketch._
THE SEATS OF THE MIGHTY. _Illustrated._ _Fourth Edition._
'The best thing he has done; one of the best things that any one has
done lately.'--_St. James's Gazette._
'Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every serious
novel that he attempts.... In "The Seats of the Mighty" he shows the
matured power which his former novels have led us to expect, and has
produced a really fine historical novel.... The great creation of
the book is Doltaire.... His character is drawn with quite masterly
strokes, for he is a villain who is not altogether a villain, and
who attracts the reader, as he did the other characters, by the
extraordinary brilliance of his gifts, and by the almost unconscious
acts of nobility which he performs.... Most sincerely is Mr. Parker to
be congratulated on the finest novel he has yet written.'--_Athenæum._
'Mr. Parker's latest book places him in the front rank of living
novelists. "The Seats of the Mighty" is a great book.'--_Black and
White._
'One of the strongest stories of historical interest and adventure
that we have read for many a day.... Through all Mr. Parker moves
with an assured step, whilst in his treatment of his subject there
is that happy blending of the poetical with the prosaic which
has characterised all his writings. A notable and successful
book.'--_Speaker._
'The story is very finely and dramatically told.... In none of his
books has his imaginative faculty appeared to such splendid purpose as
here. Captain Moray, Alixe, Gabord, Vauban--above all, Doltaire--and,
indeed, every person who takes part in the action of the story are
clearly conceived and finely drawn and individualised.'--_Scotsman._
'An admirable romance. The glory of a romance is its plot, and this
plot is crowded with fine sensations, which have no rest until the
fall of the famous old city and the final restitution of love.'--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
~Conan Doyle.~ ROUND THE RED LAMP. By A. Conan Doyle, Author of 'The
White Company,' 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,' etc. _Fourth
Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'The book is, indeed, composed of leaves from life, and is far and
away the best view that has been vouchsafed us behind the scenes of
the consulting-room. It is very superior to "The Diary of a late
Physician."'--_Illustrated London News._
~Stanley Weyman.~ UNDER THE RED ROSE. By Stanley Weyman, Author of 'A
Gentleman of France.' With Twelve Illustrations by R. Caton Woodville.
_Eighth Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'A book of which we have read every word for the sheer pleasure of
reading, and which we put down with a pang that we cannot forget it
all and start again.'--_Westminster Gazette._
'Every one who reads books at all must read this thrilling romance,
from the first page of which to the last the breathless reader is
haled along. An inspiration of "manliness and courage."'--_Daily
Chronicle._
'A delightful tale of chivalry and adventure, vivid and dramatic, with
a wholesome modesty and reverence for the highest.'--_Globe._
~Mrs. Clifford.~ A FLASH OF SUMMER. By Mrs. W. K. Clifford, Author of
'Aunt Anne,' etc. _Second Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._

and enriched with many subtle touches of wise and tender insight. It
will, undoubtedly, add to its author's reputation--already high--in
the ranks of novelists.'--_Speaker._
'We must congratulate Mrs. Clifford upon a very successful and
interesting story, told throughout with finish and a delicate sense
of proportion, qualities which, indeed, have always distinguished the
best work of this very able writer.'--_Manchester Guardian._
~Emily Lawless.~ HURRISH. By the Honble. Emily Lawless, Author of
'Maelcho,' etc. _Fifth Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
A reissue of Miss Lawless' most popular novel, uniform with 'Maelcho.'
~Emily Lawless.~ MAELCHO: a Sixteenth Century Romance. By the Honble.
Emily Lawless, Author of 'Grania,' etc. _Second Edition._ _Crown 8vo._
6_s._
'A really great book.'--_Spectator._
'There is no keener pleasure in life than the recognition of genius.
Good work is commoner than it used to be, but the best is as rare
as ever. All the more gladly, therefore, do we welcome in "Maelcho"
a piece of work of the first order, which we do not hesitate to
describe as one of the most remarkable literary achievements of
this generation. Miss Lawless is possessed of the very essence of
historical genius.'--_Manchester Guardian._

written book.'--_Daily Graphic._
~Mrs. Oliphant.~ SIR ROBERT'S FORTUNE. By Mrs. Oliphant. _Crown 8vo._
6_s._
'Full of her own peculiar charm of style and simple, subtle
character-painting come her new gift, the delightful story before us.
The scene mostly lies in the moors, and at the touch of the authoress
a Scotch moor becomes a living thing, strong tender, beautiful, and
changeful.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
~Mrs. Oliphant.~ THE TWO MARYS. By Mrs. Oliphant. _Second Edition.
Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
~W. E. Norris.~ MATTHEW AUSTIN. By W. E. Norris, Author of
'Mademoiselle de Mersac,' etc. _Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'"Matthew Austin" may safely be pronounced one of the most
intellectually satisfactory and morally bracing novels of the current
year.'--_Daily Telegraph._
~W. E. Norris.~ HIS GRACE. By W. E. Norris. _Third Edition. Crown 8vo._
6_s._
'Mr. Norris has drawn a really fine character in the Duke
of Horstbourne, at once unconventional and very true to the
conventionalities of life, weak and strong in a breath, capable of
inane follies and heroic decisions, yet not so definitely portrayed as
to relieve a reader of the necessity of study.'--_Athenæum._
~W. E. Norris.~ THE DESPOTIC LADY AND OTHERS. By W. E. Norris. _Crown
8vo._ 6_s._
'A budget of good fiction of which no one will tire.'--_Scotsman._
'An extremely entertaining volume--the sprightliest of holiday
companions.'--_Daily Telegraph._
~H. G. Wells.~ THE STOLEN BACILLUS, and other Stories. By H. G. Wells,
Author of 'The Time Machine.' _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'The ordinary reader of fiction may be glad to know that these stories
are eminently readable from one cover to the other, but they are more
than that; they are the impressions of a very striking imagination,
which, it would seem, has a great deal within its reach.'--_Saturday
Review._
~Arthur Morrison.~ TALES OF MEAN STREETS. By Arthur Morrison. _Fourth
Edition. Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'Told with consummate art and extraordinary detail. He tells a plain,
unvarnished tale, and the very truth of it makes for beauty. In the
true humanity of the book lies its justification, the permanence of
its interest, and its indubitable triumph.'--_Athenæum._
'A great book. The author's method is amazingly effective, and
produces a thrilling sense of reality. The writer lays upon us a
master hand. The book is simply appalling and irresistible in its
interest. It is humorous also; without humour it would not make the
mark it is certain to make.'--_World._
~J. Maclaren Cobban.~ THE KING OF ANDAMAN: A Saviour of Society. By J.
Maclaren Cobban. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'An unquestionably interesting book. It would not surprise us if
it turns out to be the most interesting novel of the season, for
it contains one character, at least, who has in him the root of
immortality, and the book itself is ever exhaling the sweet savour of
the unexpected.... Plot is forgotten and incident fades, and only the
really human endures, and throughout this book there stands out in
bold and beautiful relief its high-souled and chivalric protagonist,
James the Master of Hutcheon, the King of Andaman himself.'--_Pall
Mall Gazette._
'A most original and refreshing story. James Hutcheon is a personage
whom it is good to know and impossible to forget. He is beautiful
within and without, whichever way we take him.'--_Spectator._
'"The King of Andaman," is a book which does credit not less to the
heart than the head of its author.'--_Athenæum._
'The fact that Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased to gracefully
express to the author of "The King of Andaman" her interest in his
work will doubtless find for it many readers.'--_Vanity Fair._
~H. Morrah.~ A SERIOUS COMEDY. By Herbert Morrah. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'There are many delightful places in this volume, which is well worthy
of its title. The theme has seldom been presented with more freshness
or more force.'--_Scotsman._
~L. B. Walford.~ SUCCESSORS TO THE TITLE. By Mrs. Walford, Author of
'Mr. Smith,' etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'The story is fresh and healthy from beginning to finish; and our
liking for the two simple people who are the successors to the title
mounts steadily, and ends almost in respect.'--_Scotsman._
'The book is quite worthy to be ranked with many clever predecessors.
It is excellent reading.'--_Glasgow Herald._
~T. L. Paton.~ A HOME IN INVERESK. By T. L. Paton. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'A distinctly fresh and fascinating novel.'--_Montrose Standard._
'A book which bears marks of considerable promise.'--_Scotsman._
'A pleasant and well-written story.'--_Daily Chronicle._
~John Davidson.~ MISS ARMSTRONG'S AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES. By John
Davidson. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'Throughout the volume there is a strong vein of originality, a
strength in the handling, and a knowledge of human nature that are
worthy of the highest praise.'--_Scotsman._
~J. B. Burton.~ IN THE DAY OF ADVERSITY. By J. Bloundelle Burton.
_Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'Unusually interesting and full of highly dramatic
situations.'--_Guardian._
'A well-written story, drawn from that inexhaustible mine, the time of
Louis XIV.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
~H. Johnston.~ DR. CONGALTON'S LEGACY. By Henry Johnston. _Crown 8vo._
6_s._
'The story is redolent of humour, pathos, and tenderness, while it is
not without a touch of tragedy.'--_Scotsman._
'A worthy and permanent contribution to Scottish creative
literature.'--_Glasgow Herald._
~Julian Corbett.~ A BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By Julian Corbett. _Crown
8vo._ 6_s._
'In this stirring story Mr. Julian Corbett has done excellent work,
welcome alike for its distinctly literary flavour, and for the
wholesome tone which pervades it. Mr. Corbett writes with immense
spirit, and the book is a thoroughly enjoyable one in all respects.
The salt of the ocean is in it, and the right heroic ring resounds
through its gallant adventures.'--_Speaker._
~C. Phillips Woolley.~ THE QUEENSBERRY CUP. A Tale of Adventure.
By Clive Phillips Woolley, Author of 'Snap,' Editor of 'Big Game
Shooting.' _Illustrated._ _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'A book which will delight boys: a book which upholds the healthy
schoolboy code of morality.'--_Scotsman._
'A brilliant book. Dick St. Clair, of Caithness, is an almost ideal
character--a combination of the mediæval knight and the modern
pugilist.'--_Admiralty and Horse-guards Gazette._
~Robert Barr.~ IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS. By Robert Barr. _Third Edition._
_Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'A book which has abundantly satisfied us by its capital
humour.'--_Daily Chronicle._
'Mr. Barr has achieved a triumph whereof he has every reason to be
proud.'--_Pall Mall Gazette._
~L. Daintrey.~ THE KING OF ALBERIA. A Romance of the Balkans. By Laura
Daintrey. _Crown 8vo._ 6_s._
'Miss Daintrey seems to have an intimate acquaintance with the people
and politics of the Balkan countries in which the scene of her lively
and picturesque romance is laid. On almost every page we find clever
touches of local colour which differentiate her book unmistakably from
the ordinary novel of commerce. The story is briskly told, and well
conceived.'--_Glasgow Herald._
~Mrs. Pinsent.~ CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD. By Ellen F. Pinsent, Author of
'Jenny's Case.' _Crown 8vo. 6s._
'Mrs. Pinsent's new novel has plenty of vigour, variety, and good
writing. There are certainty of purpose, strength of touch, and
clearness of vision.'--_Athenæum._

Maxwell's Affections,' 'The Quiet Mrs. Fleming,' etc. _Second Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6s._
'Mr. Pryce's work recalls the style of Octavo Feuillet, by its
clearness, conciseness, its literary reserve.'--_Athenæum._

World.' _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
~Marriott Watson.~ DIOGENES OF LONDON. By H. B. Marriott Watson. _Crown
8vo. Buckram. 6s._
'By all those who delight in the uses of words, who rate the exercise
of prose above the exercise of verse, who rejoice in all proofs of its
delicacy and its strength, who believe that English prose is chief
among the moulds of thought, by these Mr. Marriott Watson's book will
be welcomed.'--_National Observer._
~M. Gilchrist.~ THE STONE DRAGON. By Murray Gilchrist. _Crown 8vo.
Buckram. 6s._
