HESTER

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

"Hester Morley's Promise' is much better than the average novel 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.

THE DOCTOR'S DILEMMA. By Hesba Stretton, Author of "Little Meg," &c., &c. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

"A fascinating story which scarcely flags in interest from the first page to the last. It is all story; every page contributes something to the result."-British Quarterly Review.

THE ROMANTIC ANNALS OF A NAVAL FAMILY. By Mrs. Arthur Traherne. Crown 8vo. IOS. 6d.

"Well and pleasantly told. There are also some capital descriptions of English country life in the last century, presenting a vivid picture of England before the introduction of railways, and the busy life accompanying them."-Evening Standard. JOHANNES OLAF. By E. de Wille. Translated by F. E. Bunnett. Crown 8vo. 3 vols.

"The art of description is fully exhibited; perception of character and capacity for delineating it are obvious; while there is great breadth and comprehensiveness in the plan of the story."--Morning Post. THE SPINSTERS OF BLATCHINGTON. By Mar. Travers. 2 vols. Crown 8vo. "A pretty story. Deserving of a favourable reception."-Graphic.

"A book of more than average merits, worth reading."-Examiner.

A GOOD MATCH. By Amelia Perrier, Author of "Mea Culpa.” 2 vols.

The Athenæum says that "the book is full of Hawthorne's most characteristic writing."

"There is a quaintness and simplicity in the roguery of the hero that makes his life as attractive as that of Guzman d'Alfarache or Gil Blas, and so we advise our readers not to be dismayed at the length of Pandurang Hari, but to read it resolutely through. If they do this they cannot, we think, fail to be both amused and interested."-Times.

"There is a positive fragrance as of newlymown hay about it, as compared with the artificially perfumed passions which are detailed to us with such gusto by our ordinary novel-writers in their endless

volumes."-Observer.
