V.

PERPLEXITY. BY SYDNEY MOSTYN, a New Writer. Three vols., crown 8vo. [Just out.

"Unquestionably a very powerful story. What may be called its manipulation is exceedingly able, inasmuch as it is told in an autobiographical form; and yet it exhibits the thoughts, feelings, ideas, and temptations of a woman of varied and interesting characteristics."Morning Post.

"We congratulate Sydney Mostyn on the production of a deeply interesting work, full of manly thoughts, admirable reflections, and sparkling humour. The work is aptly named, and we can assure its author we shall experience no perplexity when others from his pen lie on our table."-Public Opinion.

"Shows much lucidity, much power of portraiture, and no inconsiderable sense of humour."-Examiner.

"The literary workmanship is good, and the story forcibly and graphically told."-Daily News.

"Written with very considerable power, the plot is original and worked out with great cleverness and sustained interest."Standard.

VI.

CRUEL AS THE GRAVE. By the COUNTESS VON BOTHMER. Three vols., crown 8vo.

[ocr errors][merged small]

"The Wise Man's motto is prefixed to an interesting, though somewhat tragic story, by the Countess von Bothmer. Her German

prince, with his chivalrous affection, his disinterested patriotism, and his soldierlike sense of duty, is no unworthy type of a national character which has lately given the world many instances of old-fashioned heroism."-Athenæum.

"This graceful story-tender and gay, with the sweetest tenderness and the brightest gaiety,-whether pathetic or satirical, is always natural and never dull."-Morning Post.

"An agreeable, unaffected, and eminently readable novel."-Daily News.

HER TITLE OF HONOUR. By HOLME LEE. One vol., crown 8vo. (Second Edition.)

"It is unnecessary to recommend tales of Holme Lee's, for they are well known, and all more or less liked. But this book far exceeds even our favourites, Sylvan Holt's Daughter, Kathie Brande, and Thorney Hall, because with the interest of a pathetic story is united the value of a definite and high purpose.' Spectator.

"We need scarcely say of a book of Holme Lee's writing, that it is carefully finished and redolent of a refined and beautiful soul. have no more accomplished or conscientious literary artist."-British Quarterly.

"A most exquisitely written story."-Literary Churchman.
