NEW NOVEL BY JOSEPH HOCKING.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d._
The Birthright
By Joseph Hocking, Author of "All Men are Liars," "Andrew Fairfax," &c.
With Illustrations by Harold Piffard.
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
"This volume proves beyond all doubt that Mr Hocking has mastered the
art of the historical romancist. 'The Birthright' is, in its way, quite
as well constructed, as well written, and as full of incident as any
story that has come from the pen of Mr Conan Doyle or Mr Stanley
Weyman."--_The Spectator._
"We read Mr Hocking's book at a sitting; not because we had any leisure
for the task, but simply because the book compelled us.... We hold our
breath as each chapter draws to an end, yet cannot stop there, for the
race is unflagging.... We congratulate Mr Hocking upon his book, for it
is a great advance upon anything he has done. We prophesy a big public
for 'The Birthright.'"--_The Daily Chronicle._
"'The Birthright' will be appreciated on account of its successions of
exciting scenes, its crisp dialogue, its play of varied character, and a
certain eerie air of superstition with which it is pervaded....--_The
Daily Mail._
"A thoroughly enjoyable romance.... Mr Hocking has woven a story which
few will lay down unfinished. The interest never flags for a moment, and
the faithfulness with which the scenery of the land of Tre, Pol and Pen
is described, and the quaint dialect and traditions of its older
inhabitants are reproduced, is beyond praise."--_Weekly Times._
"We feel certain that, were we still condemned to go to bed at nine, we
should sleep with the book under our pillow, and wake with the birds to
see what happened.... A capital story of its class."--_The Star._

Litanies of Life
By Kathleen Watson
Mr T. P. O'CONNOR, M.P., in _The Weekly Sun_ ("A Book of the Week")
"Fancy a woman ... so gifted, sitting down with the resolve to crush
into a few words the infinite tale of all the whole race of her sex can
suffer, and you have an idea of what this remarkable book is like.... As
wonderful an epitome of a world of sorrow as I have ever read."
"A work of great charm, over which one likes to linger, and dream, and
think.... The words flow with that tuneful felicity which belongs more
to poetry than to prose."--_Liverpool Post._
"The five short, poignant stories which make up this excellent little
book, are remarkable for distinction of style, and interesting by reason
of the writer's observation of life and character, and the originality
of her reflections.... Miss Watson can tell a story in a way to cut the
reader to the heart.... The reader of sensibility will find a chastened
pleasure in every one of them."--_The Morning._
"So real is this first sketch, so human, so sensitively delicate, so
successful in its curious mingling of boldness and tenderness, that the
reader necessarily imagines it to be autobiographical, believing that
only out of actual sorrow could be distilled so true a record of passion
and of regret."--_The Daily Mail._
"Written in most admirable prose, this collection of five beautiful,
though sad stories, will appeal to all lovers of good literature.... It
adds to its worth as a clever book the additional charm of being a good
one."--_Lloyd's Newspaper._
THE LAUREL LIBRARY--VOLUME II.
_Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, gilt top, 2s._
The Widow Woman
A CORNISH TALE.
By Charles Lee.
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
"Such a delightfully natural love story is this that even staid old
people who have not read one for a score of years will admit that it is
quite unromantic enough to be sensible.... We close the book with a
feeling of gratitude to the author who has supplied us with such a
delightful study."--_Manchester Courier._
"A delightful little work.... Mr Lee knows these fisher folk by heart,
and has the ability to draw them to the life in a few bright strokes of
drollery.... The character sketching is admirable, the scenes and
situations are most vividly brought out, and the pervading humour is of
a genuine stamp."--_Sheffield Independent._
"An entertaining story.... A clever, humorous and thoroughly enjoyable
book."--_Scotsman._
"A fascinating book.... From beginning to end it is delightfully fresh
and vigorous; the vignettes of Cornish life and character are quaint and
humorous; and the snatches of unsophisticated philosophy, not without a
dash of subtlety, are as amusing as they are original.... Nothing so
deliciously witty as John Trehill's courtship has been written of late,
and another story from the author's pen will be awaited with the keenest
pleasure and interest."--_Dundee Advertiser._
"The story, simple and homely in its nature, is told with a humour and
abandon that makes the book most delightful reading."--_Glasgow Daily
Mail._
"The book is one to read, having the blessed quality of making you
chuckle: the best of qualities in literature, one is inclined to say, in
these tired days."--_Black and White._
STORIES OF LOWER LONDON.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d._
East End Idylls
By A. St John Adcock.
"This is a remarkable book. It is a collection of short stories on East
End life, but they are told with that real realism of observation of
which Mr Morrison has set the fashion. The setting is real, the slang is
real, the manners and customs seem to have been drawn from life."--_The
Daily News._
"It does not need any actual experience of East End life to tell the
reader of these 'East End Idylls' that they are the work of a
master-hand.... The little idylls are all exquisitely done--exquisitely,
we say, because there is no other word which will do full justice to the
performance."--_The Sun._
"Very vivid sketches of the East End as it is to-day. In the intimacy
they display with life in the slums, and in the terseness and force of
their style, they boldly challenge comparison with 'Tales of Mean
Streets,' nor do they lose by the comparison. Mr Adcock's themes are
less gloomy and hopeless than Mr Morrison's. Amid all the misery he
loves to recount deeds of unselfish devotion and simple heroism; nor do
I believe that he is less true to life because his realism is less
grim."--_The Pall Mall Gazette._
"Distinctly a book worth reading. There is heroism here, and
knowledge--true insight, in fact--and sympathy."--_The Leeds Mercury._
"A series of touching and delightful sketches. Much has been written of
the East End, but rarely with more charm or sympathy than by Mr
Adcock."--_The Star._
"Mr Adcock possesses a graphic pen, and has sketched the loves and
hates, the joys and the sorrows of the dwellers in London's mighty East
in a series of short, vigorous stories that make up a very delightful
volume."--_Lloyd's Newspaper._
A BOOK OF YACHTING STORIES FOR HOLIDAY READING.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, price 3s. 6d._
The Paper Boat
By "Palinurus."
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
"Lively tales of yachting adventure.... 'The Paper Boat' will be a
pleasant companion on any cruise, and we wish her a prosperous voyage on
her own account as well."--_Glasgow Herald._
"Bright and amusing.... There is some charming description in the book,
which is in every respect eminently readable, making no heavy demands on
the reader, and keeping him in good humour."--_The Sportsman._
"Brightly written stories of the sea.... The stories have a brightness
and freshness which cannot fail to give pleasure."--_Manchester
Courier._
"We unreservedly recommend this book to any one on holiday as a sure
tonic against business worries and city soot. It has the same effect as
a whip of salt spray on the face of a jaded worker."--_N. B. Daily
Mail._
"The author writes with strength and picturesqueness on a subject of
which he is evidently a master, and one cannot read his stories without
a thrill of the excitement that is one of the greatest charms of
yachting."--_Dundee Advertiser._
"A charming volume in all respects.... A more delightful story, or
better told, than 'The Voyage of the Florette' there could not be. We
envy those who have not read it. The book is full of life and
go."--_Sheffield Telegraph._
"As bright and breezy as can be wished.... One of the best volumes of
light short stories offered to the public for a long time
past."--_Lloyd's Newspaper._
NEW WORK BY THE REV. FREDERICK LANGBRIDGE.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d._
The Dreams of Dania
By Frederick Langbridge, Author of "Sent back by the Angels," &c.
With Four Full-Page Illustrations by J. B. Yeats.
"Mr Langbridge's novel is one which will be read with unmixed pleasure.
It is sprightly and often amusing, reproducing the talk of Irish
peasants and Irish editors. It is also pathetic as it gives us with much
sympathy and good taste a picture of an Irish rector in sickness and
sorrow.... Narrated by Mr Langbridge in a manner that holds the interest
of the reader from beginning to end. Bridget is one of the raciest
characters in recent fiction, and a novel at once so healthy and so
pleasant should be heartily welcomed."--_British Weekly._
_Crown 8vo, Art Linen, 3s. 6d._
Orgeas and Miradou
With other Pieces
By Frederick Wedmore
Author of "Renunciations," "English Episodes," &c.
"The beautiful story of 'Orgeas and Miradou,' is specially typical of Mr
Wedmore's power of expressing and translating the poignancy of human
emotion.... It is charged with depths of feeling, and vivid in its
extreme reticence and discrimination of touch. In it there is nothing
short of divination."--_The Athenaeum._
SECOND EDITION NOW READY.
_Fcap. 4to, art canvas, gilt, 3s. 6d._
The House of Dreams
_An Allegory_
By an Anonymous Author.
"'The House of Dreams' belongs to the same class as Mrs Oliphant's 'A
Pilgrim in the Unseen,' and may rival the great popularity of that
striking fancy.... A book of signal literary beauty, of profound
tenderness, and deeply reverent throughout; the work of a man who finds
in earth and heaven alike the sign and token of the Cross."--_The
British Weekly._
"A very beautiful allegory.... The author's deep reverence and exalted
phantasy never ring false, and his work cannot fail to inspire the
reader with reverence for ideals undreamed of in worldly
philosophy."--_The Pall Mall Gazette._
"An allegory worthy to rank among the greatest achievements of that form
of literature.... The great gospel of love and hope shines out from these
splendid pages.... 'The House of Dreams' is a book which religious teachers
will find it abundantly worth their while to study."--_Christian World._
"It is in truth a prose poem, one of the most beautiful and delightful
we have ever read.... Nothing could be better than that the leaders of
all Churches should breathe the pure and tender atmosphere of 'The House
of Dreams,' and carry it with them into the world of daily
reality."--_Methodist Times._
"A vision of extraordinary force and significance.... It seems to us
that no thoughtful reader will be likely to rise from a perusal of this
book without feeling himself heartened, so inspiring are certain of its
passages.... It is full of high suggestion, of pathos, and of
poetry."--_The Literary World._
THE FIFTIETH THOUSAND NOW READY.
_Long 8vo, sewed, 1s.; cloth extra, gilt, gilt top, 2s._
The Child, the Wise Man, and the Devil
By Coulson Kernahan
Author of "God and the Ant."
_SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
_The Bookman_ says--
"It is the author's special gift to stimulate the minds of Christian
teachers.... In this little work he has given us work which deserves to
live.... No one can read these pages without emotion."
_The Daily Mail_ says--
"The writer's views are expressed with bold and manly sincerity, and in
a spirit of true reverence. His little book must make a very deep and
abiding impression upon the hearts and minds of all who read it to the
end."
_The Echo_ says--
"There will be few readers of this work who will not allow with
enthusiasm the moral earnestness, the poetic imagination, and the
literary charm of Mr Kernahan's stern muse."
_The British Weekly_ says--
"By far the best piece of work that Mr Kernahan has done.... The spirit
of the age, with its yearnings, its sorrows, its vague aspiration, finds
expression in these pages."
_The Queen_ says--
"A work of genius. No one who has read it will ever be likely to forget
it."
_The Saturday Review_ says--
"There is a touch of genius, perhaps even more than a touch, about this
brilliant and original booklet."
_The Illustrated London News_ says--
"All must recognise the boundless charity, the literary power, and the
intense sincerity of one of the most interesting works of the year."
"We put first of the books for girls 'When Hearts are Young' by Deas
Cromarty."--_The Christian World_ on "The Season's Gift Books."
_Crown 8vo, cloth extra, gilt, 2s. 6d._
When Hearts are Young
By Deas Cromarty
With Eight Illustrations by Will Morgan.
_OPINIONS OF THE PRESS._
_The Manchester Guardian_ says--
"It is delightful to read. One has come across few recent books that
leave a pleasanter impression on the reader's memory."_
_The Star_ says--
"There is true insight into the peasant character of the lower fringe of
the Highlands.... The girl Maggie is true to the life.... _One is
grateful for the wholesomeness of this gentle story._"
_Lloyd's News_ says--
_"This is one of the pleasantest volumes we have picked up for a long
time.... It is a tender, beautiful love story, very fresh and wholesome,
with a wealth of fine descriptive writing."_
_The Methodist Times_ says--
"Deas Cromarty ... comes in a good second to these great writers (Barrie
and Maclaren). _There is the freshness of the mountain breezes about the
book which gives zest to the reading of it._"
_The Manchester Courier_ says--
_"Those who pick up the book will find difficulty in laying it down
before the last page is reached."_
_The Methodist Recorder_ says--
"One of the most charming stories of the season.... _This is as truly an
'Idyll' as anything Tennyson ever wrote._"
NEW BOOK BY CUTCLIFFE HYNE.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, gilt, 6s._
The 'Paradise' Coal Boat
By Cutcliffe Hyne, Author of "The Recipe for Diamonds," &c.
"In Mr Cutcliffe Hyne our great Anglo-Indian romancer (Rudyard Kipling)
seems to have found a worthy comrade.... Grim and powerful tales....
Alike from a literary and political point of view Mr Cutcliffe Hyne has,
in his latest volume, deserved well of the commonwealth."--_The Star._
"Mr Hyne knows the sea, and the seamy side of sea life. He also knows
the West Coast of Africa, and whether we are voyaging with him in a
tramp steamer between London and Shields, or off the Lagos Coast, we
feel that we are somehow in the proper atmosphere. Constructively his
stories are always excellent."--_The Scotsman._
A NEW VOLUME OF SERMONS.
_Just Published, crown 8vo, buckram, 3s. 6d._
The Sorrow of God
And Other Sermons
By Rev. John Oates.
"For the contents of 'The Sorrow of God' we have nothing but praise, and
we could wish for nothing more than that the book might be widely
circulated. Spiritual insight, large culture, with its consequent
breadth of sympathy and eloquent expression, are the distinguishing
features of what is, without exaggeration, a collection of notable
sermons.... Those of our readers who value a fresh utterance on the
great problems of religion will lose no time in getting acquainted with
a book we have been able to notice all too briefly."--_The Sunday School
Chronicle._
"There are many noble utterances in these sermons.... It is because the
author helps us to feel purer and better that we so heartily commend his
book."--_The New Age._
FOURTH EDITION. _Long 8vo, cloth, 1s._
Manners for Men
By Madge of "Truth"
(Mrs Humphry.)
"Always in most excellent taste as well as astonishingly complete.
Certainly the world would be a very much pleasanter place to live in if
all men did read and practise her admirable precepts."--_Saturday
Review._
"It is a charmingly-written code of true manners."--_Leeds Mercury._
"Very welcome will be this little book, written sensibly and
brightly."--_Daily Telegraph._
"Mrs Humphry's book will be worth more than its weight in gold....
Excellent, robust common sense, tempered by genuine goodness of heart,
is a characteristic of everything she writes."--_The Queen._
"A very dainty and instructive epitome of all that we ought to be.... To
a shy young man this tactful volume should be invaluable."--_To-Day._
NEW BOOK BY MRS HUMPHRY.
_Long 8vo, cloth, round corners, 1s._
Manners for Women
By the Author of, and a Companion to, the above.
This new work is intended to mirror the social and home life of a girl
and woman of the present day. The subjects treated will include: The
Girl in Society--Cards and Calls--Engagement--Marriage--Weddings--
Entertaining--Restaurants--Clubs--Correspondence--Dress--Mothers
and Daughters--Mourning--Home Life, &c.
_Crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. 6d._
The White Slaves of England
Being true Pictures of Certain Social Conditions of England in the year
1897.
By Robert H. Sherard.
With about 40 Illustrations by Harold Piffard.
Dr ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE says:--"You have done a service to the cause of
humanity in publishing it, and the author in writing it. That such
things as Mr Sherard describes should exist at the very end of the
century, when all our public writers are boasting of our wealth, our
progress, and our civilisation, is a sufficient proof that our so-called
civilisation is rotten to the core, worse in many respects than it has
ever been before."
Mr HALL CAINE says:--"The appalling revelations of Robert Sherard in his
recent book are enough to make a man's heart bleed for the awful
sufferings of women in the bitter struggle for bread. On the fate of our
women, especially our working women, the future of our country, I truly
believe, depends; and it is amazing that Parliament and the Press, and,
above all, the Church, have hitherto given so little attention to so
great a problem."
Dr MAX NORDAU says:--"I have now read your book 'The White Slaves of
England.' I am not easily unnerved, but at times it was almost too much
for me.... May it be your lot to become the Plimsoll of the alkali and
lead-workers. This would be an achievement grand enough to satisfy the
ambition of the greatest."
"An indictment which should rouse a cry of passionate indignation
throughout the land. A careful and noble exposure of industrial
iniquity."--_The Echo._
NEW NOVEL BY SHAN F. BULLOCK.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d._
The Charmer
A SEASIDE COMEDY
By Shan F. Bullock,
Author of "The Awkward Squads," "By Thrasna River," &c.
With Illustrations by Bertha Newcombe.
"Mr Anthony Hope at his best has given us nothing more delicious in
humour. The pages of the book ripple--as we turn them--with fun as
sparkling and spontaneous as the ripple of the salt water upon the sandy
beach whither Mr Bullock leads us. Surely no more delightful picture of
Irish life and of Irish people--the people whom we love while we laugh
at, and laugh at while we love--has been drawn than is to be found in
'The Charmer.'"--From an illustrated article on Mr Bullock and his work
in _The Young Man_.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 6s._
Methodist Idylls
By Harry Lindsay.
"Worthy of any writer who has yet set himself to depict Methodist
life.... A very helpful and right religious book."--_Methodist Times._
"A book which in its lovely prose chapters gives an insight into the
true romance, the April sunshine, of Methodist life.... We hope that the
volume may find its way into every Methodist home."--_Methodist
Recorder._
"A most admirable attempt to throw into permanent form some portraits of
the old and vanishing Methodists.... As a study in Methodism, Mr
Lindsay's work can be cordially and heartily commended."--_The Sun._
"Extremely interesting stories ... admirably told."--_The Scotsman._
NEW BOOK BY REV. F. B. MEYER.
Work-a-day Sermons
By Rev. F. B. Meyer, B.A.
Few names in the Christian ministry are held in such honour as is
accorded by earnest Christian men and women of every sect to that of the
Rev. F. B. Meyer, who has an enormous audience outside his own church.
Hence the announcement of a new volume of Sermons by him will be
peculiarly welcome, and all the more so for the fact that this is a book
which is intended, not for the few, but for the work-a-day many, for
whose encouragement and consolation Mr Meyer has here given the very
fine gold of his thoughts upon spiritual things and upon the intimate
association which exists--or should exist--between the things of the
work-a-day life and the higher life.
NEW BOOKLET BY RICHARD LE GALLIENNE
_Long 8vo, price One Shilling._
If I Were God
By Richard Le Gallienne.
The announcement of a new book--and especially of a new book of a
peculiarly Le Galliennesque and characteristic description by the author
of "The Book-Bills of Narcissus," "The Religion of a Literary Man," and
"Prose Fancies," will be received with very eager and unusual interest.
Whatever may be the opinions entertained by individual readers about Mr
Le Gallienne's own views, there is no denying that no book by him has
yet appeared which has not aroused exceptional interest and exceptional
discussion. His last venture is likely to be even more universally
talked about. It is a greatly-daring but extremely beautiful and
reverent attempt to deal with the terrible problem of the presence of
moral and physical evil, but quite apart from its value as a
contribution to the philosophy of life, it is a singularly striking and
beautiful piece of literary work, full of the exquisite imaginings and
lovely fancies of the accomplished poet and man of letters.
BY THE LATE WM. BRIGHTY RANDS.
_Fcap. 8vo, buckram, 340 pp., 3s. 6d._
I. Lazy Lessons and Essays on Conduct.
_Fcap. 8vo, buckram, 192 pp., 2s. 6d._
II. Lilliput Lectures.
With Introductions by R. Brimley Johnson.
These two instructive books for Children by the late William Brighty
Rands, "the laureate of the nursery," as he has been called, may be
classed as entirely new works, although some portions appeared in
magazine form under the author's numerous pen-names. The two books have
been edited by Mr R. Brimley Johnson, who supplies a biographical and
critical introduction.
NEW NOVEL BY E. PHIPPS TRAIN.
_Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d._
A Deserter from Philistia
By E. Phipps Train
Author of "A Social Highwayman," etc.
This is a book which, with ordinary luck, should bid fair to rival the
popularity of "Called Back" or "Mr Barnes of New York." From first to
last it is enthrallingly interesting, and dealing, as it does, with the
life "behind the scenes" of a great dancer who is the "darling" of her
public, it gives its readers a peep into a world of which little is
known by outsiders. Rarely have the trials and temptations, the thousand
and one cares and anxieties of those whose business it is always to wear
a smiling face, in order that they may entertain their public, been
drawn with such skill and vividness.
