*6s.*
*What the Critics said:*
"A work of such lofty design, written with such an unusual excellence of
style, devoted so truly to the sublimer needs of men, that it must be
welcomed by those who have the higher interests of the novel at heart.
This form of literature is too often made to serve base ends, but here
it is a vehicle for the purest emotions.... Much may be hoped from the
writer of this beautiful work, deeply moving, and exquisitely
sympathetic with the yearnings and sufferings of humanity."--_Globe_.
"The work is worth ten ordinary novels, for it takes us through the
externals of worship, chivalry, and love, on that elusive quest upon
which practically every human being sooner or later sets out, in the
search of things-as-they-are instead of things-as-they-appear."--_Daily
Mail_.
"In its bitterest moments, when the hero is torn with doubts and stress,
there is a rich vein of humanity, dignity, and intense refinement
running through it all, and the vigour and beauty of the telling remain
in the memory when the triumphant ending is forgotten.--_Pall Mall
Gazette_.
"'Pilgrimage' is a sincere, ennobling piece of work. The author's
earnestness of purpose, and true literary instinct, have enabled him to
perform a most difficult task with rare success."--_Daily Graphic_.
"A remarkable, arresting book, written in beautiful chaste English, with
a strong elevating purpose."--_Sheffield Telegraph_.
"Thus we have a profoundly spiritual book, striking to the very depths
of the human soul, and yet presenting with meritorious skill the
atmosphere of the life it depicts so as to give us not merely a
philosophical study but a series of charming pictures."--_Liverpool
Daily Post_.
"It is impossible not to be impressed by the sincerity of its outlook,
and the careful deliberate workmanship which has been bestowed upon
every part of it."--_Daily Telegraph_.
"It is a beautiful parable, and 'Pilgrimage' will make a strong appeal
to those who appreciate earnest effort in fiction."--_Scotsman_.

*MISS ESPERANCE & MR. WYCHERLY.*
*By Mrs. L. ALLEN HARKER. Fourth Impression. 6s.*
"If you want to give yourself a delightful treat get 'Miss Esperance and
Mr. Wycherly, and enjoy every word of it. The book so absolutely charmed
me that the moment I had finished it I turned back to the first page and
read it through again.... I shall read it a third time very
soon."--_Truth_.
"Having given the necessary time for the critical spirit to get even
with emotion, we may say that it is long since we have read a book so
full of tenderness, humanity, and charm. It should take very high rank
indeed and pass into the list of those books which are not disposed of
when the year is over.... The book is pure gold."--_Daily Telegraph_.
*SEPTIMUS.*
*By WILLIAM J. LOCKE, Author of "The Beloved Vagabond."*
*Sixth Impression. 6s.*
_Truth_ says: "If you want a perfectly delightful book, get W. J.
Locke's 'Septimus.'
"A whimsical, delightful story, full of quaint humour."--_Westminster
Gazette_.
"Unquestionably Mr. Locke's 'Septimus' is one of the most original and
most entirely delightful novels of recent years. It is written with
fresh humour and rare sympathy; its analysis of character is
masterly."--_Birmingham Post_.
*THE GENTLEMAN.*
*By ALFRED OLLIVANT, Author of "Danny," etc. 6s.*
We feel persuaded that we have here another Stevenson--another 'Treasure
Island.--_Sphere_.
