HEATHERGATE. In 2 vols. Crown 8vo, cloth. A Story of Scottish Life and Character. By a new Author.

"Its merit lies in the marked antithesis of strongly developed characters, in different ranks of life, and resembling each other in nothing but their marked nationality."-Athenæum.

THE QUEEN'S SHILLING. By Captain Arthur Griffiths, Author of Peccavi." 2 vols.

"The Queen's Shilling' is a capital story, far more interesting than the meagre sketch we have given of the fortunes of the hero and heroine can suggest. Every scene, character, and incident of the book are so life-like that they seem drawn from life direct."-Pall Mall Gazette.

MIRANDA. A Midsummer Madness. By
Mortimer Collins. 3 vols.

"There is not a dull page in the whole three volumes."-Standard.

"The work of a man who is at once a thinker and a poet."-Hour. SQUIRE SILCHESTER'S WHIM. By Mortimer Collins, Author of " Marquis and Merchant," ""The Princess Clarice," &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

"We think it the best (story) Mr. Collins has yet written. Full of incident and adventure."-Pall Mall Gazette.

"We have gained much enjoyment from the book."-Spectator.

HESTER MORLEY'S PROMISE. By
Hesba Stretton. 3 vols.

"Hester Morley's Promise' is much better than the average novels of the day; it has much more claim to critical consideration as a piece of literary work,-not mere mechanism. The pictures of a narrow society-narrow of soul and intellect-in which the book abounds, are very clever." -Spectator.

"Its charm lies not so much, perhaps, in any special excellence in character, drawing, or construction-though all the characters stand out clearly and are well sustained, and the interest of the story never flags-as in general tone and colouring."-Observer.
