BY MRS. HUMPHRY WARD.
Mrs. Ward, with her "Robert Elsmere" and "David Grieve," hasestablished with extraordinary rapidity an enduring reputation as onewho has expressed what is deepest and most real in the thought of thetime.... They are dramas of the time vitalized by the hopes, fears,doubts, and despairing struggles after higher ideals which are swayingthe minds of men and women of this generation.--_New York Tribune._
ROBERT ELSMERE. THE HISTORY OF DAVID GRIEVE. MILLY AND OLLY.
BY RUDYARD KIPLING.
Every one knows that it is not easy to write good short stories. Mr.Kipling has changed all that. Here are forty of them, averaging lessthan eight pages apiece; there is not a dull one in the lot. Some aretragedy, some broad comedy, some tolerably sharp satire. The time haspassed to ignore or undervalue Mr. Kipling. He has won his spurs andtaken his prominent place in the arena. This, as the legitimateedition, should be preferred to the pirated ones by all such as carefor honesty in letters.--_Churchman_, New York.

ROBBERY UNDER ARMS. NEVERMORE. SYDNEY-SIDE SAXON.
BY SIR HENRY CUNNINGHAM, K.C.I.E.
Interesting as specimens of romance, the style of writing is soexcellent--scholarly and at the same time easy and natural--that thevolumes are worth reading on that account alone. But there is alsomasterly description of persons, places, and things; skilful analysisof character; a constant play of wit and humour; and a happy gift ofinstantaneous portraiture.--_St. James's Gazette._
THE COERULEANS: A VACATION IDYLL.
BY GEORGE GISSING.
We earnestly commend the book for its high literary merit, its deepbright interest, and for the important and healthful lessons that itteaches.--_Boston Home Journal._
DENZIL QUARRIER. THE ODD WOMEN.
BY W. CLARK RUSSELL.
The descriptions are wonderfully realistic ... and the breath of theocean is over and through every page. The plot is very novel indeed,and is developed with skill and tact. Altogether one of the cleverestand most entertaining of Mr. Russell's many works.--_Boston Times._
A STRANGE ELOPEMENT.
BY THE HON. EMILY LAWLESS.
It is a charming story, full of natural life, fresh in style andthought, pure in tone, and refined in feeling.--_Nineteenth Century._
A strong and original story. It is marked by originality, freshness,insight, a rare graphic power, and as rare a psychological perception.It is in fact a better story than "Hurrish," and that is saying a gooddeal.--_New York Tribune._
GRANIA: THE STORY OF AN ISLAND.
BY A NEW AUTHOR.
We should not be surprised if this should prove to be the most popularbook of the present season; it cannot fail to be one of the mostremarkable.--_Literary World._
TIM: A STORY OF SCHOOL LIFE.
BY LANOE FALCONER.
(Author of "Mademoiselle Ixe.")
It is written with cleverness and brightness, and there is so muchhuman nature in it that the attention of the reader is held to theend.... The book shows far greater powers than were evident in"Mademoiselle Ixe," and if the writer who is hidden behind the _nom deguerre_ Lanoe Falconer goes on, she is likely to make for herself noinconsiderable name in fiction.--_Boston Courier._
CECILIA DE NOEL.
BY THE REV. PROF. ALFRED J. CHURCH.
Rev. Alfred J. Church, M.A., has long been doing valiant service inliterature in presenting his stories of the early centuries, so clearis his style and so remarkable his gift of enfolding historical eventsand personages with the fabric of a romance, entertaining andoftentimes fascinating.... One has the feeling that he is reading anaccurate description of real scenes, that the characters areliving--so masterly is Professor Church's ability to reclothe historyand make it as interesting as a romance.--_Boston Times._
STORIES FROM THE GREEK COMEDIANS. ARISTOPHANES. PHILEMON. DIPHILUS. MENANDER. APOLLODORUS. _With Sixteen Illustrations after the Antique._ THE STORY OF THE ILIAD. With Coloured Illustrations. THE STORY OF THE ODYSSEY. Wi
th Coloured Illustrations. THE BURNING OF ROME.
BY MRS. F. A. STEEL.
The story is a delightful one, with a good plot, an abundance ofaction and incident, well and naturally drawn characters, excellent insentiment, and with a good ending. Its interest begins with theopening paragraph, and is well sustained to the end. Mrs. Steeltouches all her stories with the hand of a master, and she is yet towrite one that is any way dull or uninteresting.--_The Christian atWork._
MISS STUART'S LEGACY.
BY PAUL CUSHING.
... A first-class detective story. Not a detective story of theordinary blood-and-thunder kind, but a really good story, that is toldin a vigorous and attractive way.... It is full of incident andespecially good dialogue. The people in it really talk. The story iswell worth reading.--_Commercial Gazette._
THE GREAT CHIN EPISODE.
BY MARY A. DICKENS.
Felicitous in style and simple enough in plot, it is powerfully vividand dramatic, and well sustains the interest throughout.... There is avein of grave pleasantry in the earlier portion of the work, which hasto be abandoned as the tragic portion of it develops; but it issufficient to show that the writer possesses the charm of pleasantrecital when she wishes to exert it, as becomes her father'sdaughter.--_The Catholic World._
A MERE CYPHER.
BY MARY WEST.
The novel is admirably written. It has not only distinction of style,but intellectual quality of an exceptionable order; and while thetreatment is never didactic, questions of ethical import comenaturally into evidence, and are dealt with in a decisive way.... Aremarkably well-executed piece of fiction.--_Utica News._
A BORN PLAYER.
BY THE MARCHESA THEODOLI.
A thoroughly pleasing and unpretentious story of modern Rome. Thepictures of home life in the princely Astalli family are most curiousand interesting; while the reader's sympathy with the charming anddelicate romance of the book, ending happily at last, in the face ofapparently insurmountable obstacles, will be readily enlisted from itsinception.--_The Art Amateur._
