Gilbert Parker. THE TRANSLATION OF A SAVAGE. By GILBERT PARKER, Author of 'Pierre and His People,' 'Mrs. Falchion,' etc. Crown 8vo. 6s.

'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.

'A very pretty and interesting story, and Mr. Parker tells it with much skill. The story is one to be read.'-St. James's Gazette.

Gilbert Parker. THE TRAIL OF THE SWORD. BY GILBERT
PARKER, Author of 'Pierre and his People,' etc. Third Edition.
Crown 8vo. 6s.
'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 every. day fiction; and we cannot but believe that to the reader it will bring refreshment as welcome and as keen.'-Daily Chronicle.

Gilbert Parker. WHEN VALMOND CAME TO PONTIAC:
The Story of a Lost Napoleon. By GILBERT PARKER.
Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

Second

'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.

Arthur Morrison. TALES OF MEAN STREETS. BY ARTHUR MORRISON. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

'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.

Julian Corbett. A BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By JULIAN CORBETT, Author of For God and Gold,' 'Kophetua XIIIth.,' etc. Crown Svo. 6s.

"There is plenty of incident and movement in this romance. It is interesting as a novel framed in an historical setting, and it is all the more worthy of attention from the lover of romance as being absolutely free from the morbid, the frivolous, and the ultra-sexual.'-Athenæum.

'A stirring tale of naval adventure during the Great French War. The book is full of picturesque and attractive characters.'-Glasgow Herald.

Robert Barr. IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS.

By ROBERT BARR, Author of 'From Whose Bourne,' etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

'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.

'There is a quaint thought or a good joke on nearly every page. The studies of character are carefully finished, and linger in the memory.'-Black and White. 'Distinguished for kindly feeling, genuine humour, and really graphic portraiture.' -Sussex Daily News. 'A delightful romance, with experiences strange and exciting. The dialogue is always bright and witty; the scenes are depicted briefly and effectively; and there is no incident from first to last that one would wish to have omitted.'Scotsman.

Mrs. Pinsent. CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD. BY ELLEN F. PINSENT, Author of 'Jenny's Case.' Crown 8vo. 6s.

'There is much clever writing in this book. The story is told in a workmanlike manner, and the characters conduct themselves like average human beings.'Daily News.

'Full of interest, and, with a large measure of present excellence, gives ample promise of splendid work.'-Birmingham Gazette.

'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.

Clark Russell. MY DANISH SWEETHEART. By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of 'The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' etc. Illustrated. Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

Pryce. TIME AND THE WOMAN. By RICHARD PRYCE, Author of 'Miss Maxwell's Affections,' 'The Quiet Mrs. Fleming,' etc. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s.

'Mr. Pryce's work recalls the style of Octave Feuillet, by its clearness, conciseness, its literary reserve.'-Athenæum.

Mrs. Watson. THIS MAN'S DOMINION.

By the Author Crown 8vo. 6s.

of 'A High Little World.' Second Edition. 'It is not a book to be read and forgotten on a railway journey, but it is rather a study of the perplexing problems of life, to which the reflecting mind will frequently return, even though the reader does not accept the solutions which the author suggests. In these days, when the output of merely amusing novels is so overpowering, this is no slight praise. There is an underlying depth in the story which reminds one, in a lesser degree, of the profundity of George Eliot, and "This Man's Dominion " is by no means a novel to be thrust aside as exhausted at one perusal.'-Dundee Advertiser.

Marriott Watson. DIOGENES OF LONDON and other Sketches. By H. B. MARRIOTT WATSON, Author of 'The Web of the Spider.' 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.

Gilchrist. THE STONE DRAGON. BY MURRAY GILCHRIST. Crown 8vo. Buckram. 6s.

'The author's faults are atoned for by certain positive and admirable merits. The romances have not their counterpart in modern literature, and to read them is a unique experience.'-National Observer.
