IN GOD'S WAY. From the Norwegian of BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.
_Athenaeum._--"Without doubt the most important and the most
interesting work published during the twelve months..... There are
descriptions which certainly belong to the best and cleverest
things our literature has ever produced. Amongst the many
characters, the doctor's wife is unquestionably the first. It
would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined
than this charming personage."
PIERRE AND JEAN. From the French of GUY DE MAUPASSANT.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"So fine and faultless, so perfectly
balanced, so steadily progressive, so clear and simple and
satisfying. It is admirable from beginning to end."
_Athenaeum._--"Ranks amongst the best gems of modern French
fiction."
THE CHIEF JUSTICE. From the German of KARL EMIL FRANZOS,
Author of "For the Right," &c.
_New Review._--"Few novels of recent times have a more sustained
and vivid human interest."
_Christian World._--"A story of wonderful power ... as free from
anything objectionable as 'The Heart of Midlothian.'"
WORK WHILE YE HAVE THE LIGHT. From the Russian of Count LYOF TOLSTOY.
_Liverpool Mercury._--"Marked by all the old power of the great
Russian novelist."
_Manchester Guardian._--"Readable and well translated; full of
high and noble feeling."
FANTASY. From the Italian of MATILDE SERAO.
_National Observer._--"The strongest work from the hand of a woman
that has been published for many a day."
_Scottish Leader._--"The book is full of a glowing and living
realism.... There is nothing like 'Fantasy' in modern literature....
It is a work of elfish art, a mosaic of light and love, of right
and wrong, of human weakness and strength, and purity and wantonness,
pieced together in deft and witching precision."
FROTH. From the Spanish of Don ARMANDO PALACIO-VALDES.
_Daily Telegraph._--"Vigorous and powerful in the highest degree.
It abounds in forcible delineation of character, and describes
scenes with rare and graphic strength."
FOOTSTEPS OF FATE. From the Dutch of LOUIS COUPERUS.
_Daily Chronicle._--"A powerfully realistic story which has been
excellently translated."
_Gentlewoman._--"The consummate art of the writer prevents this
tragedy from sinking to melodrama. Not a single situation is
forced or a circumstance exaggerated."
PEPITA JIMENEZ. From the Spanish of JUAN VALERA.
_New Review_ (Mr. George Saintsbury):--"There is no doubt at all
that it is one of the best stories that have appeared in any
country in Europe for the last twenty years."
THE COMMODORE'S DAUGHTERS. From the Norwegian of JONAS LIE.
_Athenaeum._--"Everything that Jonas Lie writes is attractive and
pleasant; the plot of deeply human interest, and the art noble."
THE HERITAGE OF THE KURTS. From the Norwegian of BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--"A most fascinating as well as a powerful
book."

about, for, incontestably, it is the work of a man of genius."

as a work of art, and especially upon the noble and skilfully

previous efforts. For grace and touching pathos Naomi is a
character which any romancist in the world might be proud to have
created."
THE BONDMAN. A New Saga. By HALL CAINE. Twentieth Thousand.
_Mr. Gladstone._--"'The Bondman' is a work of which I recognise
the freshness, vigour, and sustained interest no less than its
integrity of aim."

power that is almost marvellous."

heart, and an amount of tact that one rarely finds. Should take a
prominent place among the novels of the season."
