CAPTAIN HINDE
This volume deals with the recent Belgian Expedition to the Upper Congo, which developed into a war between the State forces and the Arab slave raiders in Central Africa. Two white men only returned alive from the three years' war—Commandant Dhanis and the writer of this book, Captain Hinde. During the greater part of the time spent by Captain Hinde in the Congo he was amongst cannibal races in little-known regions, and, owing to the peculiar circumstances of his position, was enabled to see a side of native history shown to few Europeans. The war terminated in the complete defeat of the Arabs, seventy thousand of whom perished during the struggle.
The travels of Prince Henri in 1895 from China to the valley of the Bramaputra covered a distance of 2100 miles, of which 1600 was through absolutely unexplored country. No fewer than seventeen ranges of mountains were crossed at altitudes of from 11,000 to 13,000 feet. The journey was made memorable by the discovery of the sources of the Irrawaddy. To the physical difficulties of the journey were added dangers from the attacks of savage tribes. The book deals with many of the burning political problems of the East, and it will be found a most important contribution to the literature of adventure and discovery.
Few Europeans have had the same opportunity of studying the barbarous parts of Africa as Mr. Decle. Starting from the Cape, he visited in succession Bechuanaland, the Zambesi, Matabeleland and Mashonaland, the Portuguese settlement on the Zambesi, Nyasaland, Ujiji, the headquarters of the Arabs, German East Africa, Uganda (where he saw fighting in company with the late Major 'Roddy' Owen), and British East Africa. In his book he relates his experiences, his minute observations of native habits and customs, and his views as to the work done in Africa by the various European Governments, whose operations he was able to study. The whole journey extended over 7000 miles, and occupied exactly three years.
The Turkish prohibition against all European travel in their African Pashalics has, during the last seventeen years, rendered impossible both geographical and archæological research. The author, however, was enabled to make two journeys through the hill range of Tripoli in 1895 and 1896, and this volume deals chiefly with a remarkable series of megalithic Temples and Trilithons, which he found to exist there in extraordinary numbers. These ruins have hitherto been quite uninvestigated, and to Englishmen should have an exceptional interest, from the light it is believed they will throw on our own national monument of Stonehenge. In all about one hundred sites were visited and photographed, and the volume will be fully illustrated by maps, plans, and photographs. Chapters will also be devoted to modern Tripoli, the little visited ruins of Leptes Magna, the ancient and modern geography of the district generally, and the author's personal experiences.
History and Biography
Dr. Davenant, Bishop of Salisbury, the maternal uncle of Dr. Fuller, lived at a very critical time in our history (1571–1641). He was one of the British representatives of the first great Synod of the reformed churches held at Dort, was one of Archbishop Laud's Suffragans, and assisted him in carrying out his reforms.
Précis is given of some of the Bishop's writings, and a very celebrated sermon, never before published and supposed to have been lost, is printed in extenso.
This is a Guide—chiefly historical—to the Colleges of Oxford. It contains numerous full-page illustrations.
A record of Railway enterprise and development in Northern England, containing much matter hitherto unpublished. It appeals both to the general reader and to those specially interested in railway construction and management.
Naval and Military
This book aims at giving an account not only of the fighting we nave done at sea, but of the growth of the service, of the part the Navy has played in the development of the Empire, and of its inner life. The author has endeavoured to avoid the mistake of sacrificing the earlier periods of naval history—the very interesting wars with Holland in the seventeenth century, for instance, or the American War of 1779–1783—to the later struggle with Revolutionary and Imperial France.
COL. COOPER KING
This volume aims at describing the nature of the different armies that have been formed in Great Britain, and how from the early and feudal levies the present standing army came to be. The changes in tactics, uniform, and armament are briefly touched upon, and the campaigns in which the army has shared have been so far followed as to explain the part played by British regiments in them.
Theology
Devotional Series
This little book is the first volume of a new Devotional Series, the volumes of which will be edited by competent scholars, printed in clear type, and published at a very low price.
This volume contains the nine books of the 'Confessions,' which are suitable for devotional purposes. The name of the Editor is a sufficient guarantee of the excellence of the edition.
The inclusion of Andrewes' 'Manual of the Sick' will greatly increase the value of this edition of the 'Preces Privatæ.'
Sport
General Literature
This book deals with a very delicate but most important matter, namely, the voluntary limitation of the family, and how such action affects morality, the individual, and the nation.
Educational
The aim of this book is to supply, in a systematic and practical form, information on the subject of Decorative Design as applied to Woven Fabrics, and is primarily intended to meet the requirements of students in Textile and Art Schools, or of designers actively engaged in the weaving industry. Its wealth of illustration is a marked feature of the book.
[Commercial Series.
A guide to Commercial Education and Examinations, which ought to prove most useful as showing what is now being done in this country to promote commercial education, and also as giving valuable information to those who may wish to enter for some of the commercial examinations now held by the London Chamber of Commerce and other bodies.

Poetry
RUDYARD KIPLING'S NEW POEMS

'Full of passionate patriotism and the Imperial spirit.'—Yorkshire Post.
'The Empire has found a singer; it is no depreciation of the songs to say that statesmen may have, one way or other, to take account of them.'— Manchester Guardian.
'Animated through and through with indubitable genius.'—Daily Telegraph.
'Packed with inspiration, with humour, with pathos. '—Daily Chronicle.
'All the pride of empire, all the intoxication of power, all the ardour, the energy, the masterful strength, and the wonderful endurance and death-scorning pluck which are the very bone and fibre and marrow of the British character are here.'—Daily Mail.
'Mr. Kipling's verse is strong, vivid, full of character…. Unmistakable genius rings in every line.'—Times.
'The ballads teem with imagination, they palpitate with emotion. We read them with laughter and tears; the metres throb in our pulses, the cunningly ordered words tingle with life; and if this be not poetry, what is?'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'His book will be read with interest by the most fastidious lovers of poetry, and it will please many who think they have no taste for poetry at all.'—Scotsman.
'A delightful volume: a really golden "Pomp."'—Spectator.
'The verses display a rare and versatile gift of parody, great command of metre, and a very pretty turn of humour.'—Times.
'An anthology of high excellence.'—Athenæum.
'A charming selection, which maintains a lofty standard of excellence.'—Times.
'An attractive and catholic selection.'—Times.
'It is edited by the most original and most accomplished of modern Irish poets, and against his editing but a single objection can be brought, namely, that it excludes from the collection his own delicate lyrics.'—Saturday Review.
'Everywhere Mr. Mackay displays himself the master of a style marked by all the characteristics of the best rhetoric. He has a keen sense of rhythm and of general balance; his verse is excellently sonorous.'—Globe.
'The greatest world-poem of the nineteenth century next to "Faust." It is in the same set with "Agamemnon," with "Lear," with the literature that we now instinctively regard as high and holy.'—Daily Chronicle.
A small volume of verse by a writer whose initials are well known to Oxford men.
'A capital specimen of light academic poetry. These verses are very bright and engaging, easy and sufficiently witty.'—St. James's Gazette.

'The book is full of splendid things.'—World.
This edition contains a carefully collated Text, numerous Notes, critical and textual, a critical and biographical Introduction, and a Glossary.
'Among the editions in one volume, Mr. Andrew Lang's will take the place of authority.'—Times.
'To the general public the beauty of its type, and the fair proportions of its pages, as well as the excellent chronological arrangement of the poems, should make it acceptable enough. Mr. Lang and his publishers have certainly succeeded in producing an attractive popular edition of the poet, in which the brightly written biographical introduction is not the least notable feature.'—Glasgow Herald.
English Classics
Edited by W. E. Henley.
'Very dainty volumes are these; the paper, type, and light-green binding are all very agreeable to the eye. Simplex munditiis is the phrase that might be applied to them.'—Globe.
'The volumes are strongly bound in green buckram, are of a convenient size, and pleasant to look upon, so that whether on the shelf, or on the table, or in the hand the possessor is thoroughly content with them.'—Guardian.
Illustrated Books
'Mr. Baring-Gould is deserving of gratitude, in re-writing in honest, simple style the old stories that delighted the childhood of "our fathers and grandfathers." As to the form of the book, and the printing, which is by Messrs. Constable, it were difficult to commend overmuch.—Saturday Review.
A charming volume, which children will be sure to appreciate. The stories have been selected with great ingenuity from various old ballads and folk-tales, and, having been somewhat altered and readjusted, now stand forth, clothed in Mr. Baring-Gould's delightful English, to enchant youthful readers.'—Guardian.
'The volume is very complete in its way, as it contains nursery songs to the number of 77, game-rhymes, and jingles. To the student we commend the sensible introduction, and the explanatory notes. The volume is superbly printed on soft, thick paper, which it is a pleasure to touch; and the borders and pictures are among the very best specimens we have seen of the Gaskin school.'—Birmingham Gazette.
A collection of the best verse inspired by the birth of Christ from the Middle Ages to the present day. A distinction of the book is the large number of poems it contains by modern authors, a few of which are here printed for the first time.
'An anthology which, from its unity of aim and high poetic excellence, has a better right to exist than most of its fellows.'—Guardian.
History

'The edition is edited as a classic should be edited, removing nothing, yet indicating the value of the text, and bringing it up to date. It promises to be of the utmost value, and will be a welcome addition to many libraries.'—Scotsman.
'This edition, so far as one may judge from the first instalment, is a marvel of erudition and critical skill, and it is the very minimum of praise to predict that the seven volumes of it will supersede Dean Milman's as the standard edition of our great historical classic.'—Glasgow Herald.
'The beau-ideal Gibbon has arrived at last.'—Sketch.
'At last there is an adequate modern edition of Gibbon…. The best edition the nineteenth century could produce.'—Manchester Guardian.
- Vol. I. Prehistoric Times to XVI. Dynasty. W. M. F. Petrie. Second Edition.
- Vol. II. The XVII.th and XVIII.th Dynasties. W. M. F. Petrie.
'A history written in the spirit of scientific precision so worthily represented by Dr. Petrie and his school cannot but promote sound and accurate study, and supply a vacant place in the English literature of Egyptology.'—Times.
'A valuable addition to the literature of comparative folk-lore. The drawings are really illustrations in the literal sense of the word.'—Globe.
'It has a scientific value to the student of history and archæology.'—Scotsman.
'Invaluable as a picture of life in Palestine and Egypt.'—Daily News.
'Professor Flinders Petrie is not only a profound Egyptologist, but an accomplished student of comparative archæology. In these lectures, delivered at the Royal Institution, he displays both qualifications with rare skill in elucidating the development of decorative art in Egypt, and in tracing its influence on the art of other countries.'—Times.
'A most splendid and fascinating book on a subject of undying interest. The great feature of the book is the use the author has made of the existing portraits of the Cæsars, and the admirable critical subtlety he has exhibited in dealing with this line of research. It is brilliantly written, and the illustrations are supplied on a scale of profuse magnificence.'—Daily Chronicle.
'The volumes will in no sense disappoint the general reader. Indeed, in their way, there is nothing in any sense so good in English…. Mr. Baring-Gould has presented his narrative in such away as not to make one dull page.'—Athenæum.
This book is written with the view of affording a clear view of the main facts of English Social and Industrial History placed in due perspective. Beginning with prehistoric times, it passes in review the growth and advance of industry up to the nineteenth century, showing its gradual development and progress. The author has endeavoured to place before his readers the history of industry as a connected whole in which all these developments have their proper place. The book is illustrated by Maps, Diagrams, and Tables, and aided by copious Footnotes.
'A work which will certainly be appealed to for many years as the standard book on the Colleges of Oxford.'—Athenæum.
A history of Florence under the domination of Cosimo, Piero, and Lorenzo de Medicis.
'This is a standard book by an honest and intelligent historian, who has deserved well of all who are interested in Italian history.'—Manchester Guardian.
This book is intended for the Middle and Upper Forms of Public Schools and for Pass Students at the Universities. It contains copious Tables, etc.
'An original work written on an original plan, and with uncommon freshness and vigour.'—Speaker.
'A brilliant essay simple, sound, and thorough.'—Daily Chronicle.
'A study, the most concise, the most lucid, the most critical that has been produced.'—Birmingham Mercury.
'Mr. George has undertaken a very useful task that of making military affairs intelligible and instructive to non-military readers and has executed it with laudable intelligence and industry, and with a large measure of success.'—Times.
'This book is almost a revelation; and we heartily congratulate the author on his work.'—Daily Chronicle.
Vol. I. 1250–1409.—Guelphs and Ghibellines.
Vol. II. 1409–1530.—The Age of the Condottieri.
'A vivid picture of mediæval Italy.'—Standard.
'Mr. Browning is to be congratulated on the production of a work of immense labour and learning.'—Westminster Gazette.
'Most delightful, most stimulating. Its racy humour, its original imaginings, make it one of the freshest, breeziest volumes.'—Methodist Times.
Biography
'The Vailima Letters are rich in all the varieties of that charm which have secured for Stevenson the affection of many others besides "journalists, fellow-novelists, and boys."'—The Times.
'Few publications have in our time been more eagerly awaited than these "Vailima Letters," giving the first fruits of the correspondence of Robert Louis Stevenson. But, high as the tide of expectation has run, no reader can possibly be disappointed in the result.'—St. James's Gazette.
'For the student of English literature these letters indeed are a treasure. They are more like "Scott's Journal" in kind than any other literary autobiography.'—National Observer.
This is the first volume of one of the most interesting and important collection of letters ever published in France. The correspondence dates from Victor Hugo's boyhood to his death, and none of the letters have been published before. The arrangement is chiefly chronological, but where there is an interesting set of letters to one person these are arranged together. The first volume contains, among others, (1) Letters to his father; (2) to his young wife; (3) to his confessor, Lamennais; (4) a very important set of about fifty letters to Sainte-Beuve; (5) letters about his early books and plays.
'A charming and vivid picture of a man whose egotism never marred his natural kindness, and whose vanity did not impair his greatness.'—Standard.
This work gives for the first time in moderate compass a complete portrait of St. Anselm, exhibiting him in his intimate and interior as well as in his public life. Thus, while the great ecclesiastico-political struggle in which he played so prominent a part is fully dealt with, unusual prominence is given to the profound and subtle speculations by which he permanently influenced theological and metaphysical thought; while it will be a surprise to most readers to find him also appearing as the author of some of the most exquisite religious poetry in the Latin language.
'Mr. Rigg has told the story of the great Primate's life with scholarly ability, and has thereby contributed an interesting chapter to the history of the Norman period.'—Daily Chronicle.
'The book gives us a complete picture of the life of one who will ever be held in loving remembrance, and who in the history of music in this country will always occupy a prominent position on account of the many services he rendered to the art.'—Musical News.
'This book has been undertaken in quite the right spirit, and written with sympathy, insight, and considerable literary skill.'—Times.
'No more magnificent volumes have been published for a long time.'—Times.
'It is long since we had a biography with such delights of substance and of form. Such a book is a pleasure for the day, and a joy for ever.'—Daily Chronicle.
'A thoughtful, impartial, well-written criticism of Ruskin's teaching, intended to separate what the author regards as valuable and permanent from what is transient and erroneous in the great master's writing.'—Daily Chronicle.
The book lays good claim to high rank among our biographies. It is excellently, even lovingly, written.'—Scotsman.
'An excellent monograph.'—Times.
A biography of Kingsley, especially dealing with his achievements in social reform.
'The author has certainly gone about his work with conscientiousness and industry.—Sheffield Daily Telegraph.
'Considerable labour and much skill of presentation have not been unworthily expended on this interesting work.'—Times.
'A book which we should like to see in the hands of every boy in the country.'—St. James's Gazette.
'A really good book.'—Saturday Review.
'Admirable and well-told stories of our naval history.'—Army and Navy Gazette.
'A brave, inspiriting book.'—Black and White.
General Literature
'"Old Country Life," as healthy wholesome reading, full of breezy life and movement, full of quaint stories vigorously told, will not be excelled by any book to be published throughout the year. Sound, hearty, and English to the core.'—World.
'A collection of exciting and entertaining chapters. The whole volume is delightful reading.'—Times.
'Mr. Baring Gould has a keen eye for colour and effect, and the subjects he has chosen give ample scope to his descriptive and analytic faculties. A perfectly fascinating book.'—Scottish Leader.
'A rich collection of humour, pathos, grace, and poetic fancy.'—Saturday Review.
'We have read Mr. Baring-Gould's book from beginning to end. It is full of quaint and various information, and there is not a dull page in it.'—Notes and Queries.
This book describes the great barren tableland that extends to the south of Limousin, a country of dolomite cliffs, and cañons, and subterranean rivers. The region is full of prehistoric and historic interest, relics of cave-dwellers, of mediæval robbers, and of the English domination and the Hundred Years' War.
'His two richly-illustrated volumes are full of matter of interest to the geologist, the archæologist, and the student of history and manners.'—Scotsman.
'A compact, faithful, most readable record of the campaign.'—Daily News.
'A bluff and vigorous narrative.'—Glasgow Herald.
This book is a description of the British and other more important navies of the world, with a sketch of the lines on which our naval policy might possibly be developed. It describes our recent naval policy, and shows what our naval force really is. A detailed but non-technical account is given of the instruments of modern warfare guns, armour, engines, and the like with a view to determine how far we are abreast of modern invention and modern requirements. An ideal policy is then sketched for the building and manning of our fleet; and the last chapter is devoted to docks, coaling-stations, and especially colonial defence.
'An extremely able and interesting work.'—Daily Chronicle.
'A unique volume of extracts—an art gallery of early prose.'—Birmingham Post.
'An admirable companion to Mr. Henley's "Lyra Heroica."'—Saturday Review.
'Quite delightful. The choice made has been excellent, and the volume has been most admirably printed by Messrs. Constable. A greater treat for those not well acquainted with pre-Restoration prose could not be imagined.'—Athenæum.
A series of Soliloquies in which famous men of antiquity—Julius Cæsar, Nero, Alcibiades, etc., attempt to express themselves in the modes of thought and language of to-day.
'The effect is sometimes splendid, sometimes bizarre, but always amazingly clever.—Pall Mall Gazette.
This work contains an account of life at Oxford—intellectual, social, and religious—a careful estimate of necessary expenses, a review of recent changes, a statement of the present position of the University, and chapters on Women's Education, aids to study, and University Extension.
'We congratulate Mr. Wells on the production of a readable and intelligent account of Oxford as it is at the present time, written by persons who are possessed of a close acquaintance with the system and life of the University.'—Athenæum.
'Much sound and well-expressed criticism and acute literary judgments. The bibliography is a boon.'—Speaker.
'No better estimate of the late Laureate's work has yet been published. His sketch of Tennyson's life contains everything essential; his bibliography is full and concise: his literary criticism is most interesting.'—Glasgow Herald.
This book is planned on a method similar to the 'Primer of Tennyson.' It has also a glossary.
'A valuable addition to the literature of the poet.'—Times.
'An excellent short account.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'An admirable introduction.'—Globe.
'An exceedingly useful handbook: a careful and well-arranged study of an obscure subject.'—Times.
'Mr. Whibley is never tedious or pedantic.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'An intensely interesting book.'—Daily Chronicle.
'A monumental work compressed into a very moderate compass.'—World.
'These fine essays illustrate the great breadth of his historical and literary sympathies and the remarkable variety of his intellectual interests.'—Glasgow Herald.
'Remarkable for careful handling, breadth of view, and thorough knowledge.'—Scotsman.

This book consists of a number of Studies in Economics and Industrial and Social Problems.

'This work should be in the possession of every musician and amateur, for it not only embodies a concise and lucid history of the origin of one of the most important forms of musical composition, but, by reason of the painstaking research and accuracy of the author's statements, it is a very valuable work for reference.'—Athenæum.
A little book on Fly-Fishing by an old friend of Mr. Ruskin.
Science
A text-book designed to cover the new Schedule issued by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons.
'A work much in advance of any book in the language treating of this group of organisms. It is indispensable to every student of the Myxogastres. The coloured plates deserve high praise for their accuracy and execution.'—Nature.
Philosophy
'The most important contribution to English philosophy since the publication of Mr. Bradley's "Appearance and Reality." Full of brilliant criticism and of positive theories which are models of lucid statement.'—Glasgow Herald.
'An elaborate and often brilliantly written volume. The treatment is one of great freshness, and the illustrations are particularly numerous and apt.'—Times.
This volume is expository, not critical, and is intended for senior students at the Universities and others, as a statement of Green's teaching, and an introduction to the study of Idealist Philosophy.
'In every way an admirable book. As an introduction to the writings of perhaps the most remarkable speculative thinker whom England has produced in the present century, nothing could be better.'—Glasgow Herald.
'A highly valuable contribution to the history of ancient thought.'—Glasgow Herald.
'A clever and stimulating book, provocative of thought and deserving careful reading.'—Manchester Guardian.
The author delineates that group of beliefs which stood in close connection with the Roman religion, and among the subjects treated are Dreams, Nature Worship, Roman Magic, Divination, Holy Places, Victims, etc.
' A scholarly analysis of the religious ceremonies, beliefs, and superstitions of ancient Rome, conducted in the new instructive light of comparative anthropology.'—Times.
Theology
'The tone maintained throughout is not that of the partial advocate, but the faithful exponent.'—Scotsman.
'There are ample proofs of clearness of expression, sobriety of judgment, and breadth of view…. The book will be welcome to all students of the subject, and its sound, definite, and loyal theology ought to be of great service.'—National Observer.
'So far from repelling the general reader, its orderly arrangement, lucid treatment, and felicity of diction invite and encourage his attention.'—Yorkshire Post.
'Learned and reverent: lucid and well arranged.'—Record.
'Accurate, well ordered, and judicious.'—National Observer.
'A clear and remarkably full account of the main currents of speculation. Scholarly precision… genuine tolerance… intense interest in his subject are Mr. Ottley's merits.'—Guardian.
Mr. F. B. Jevons' 'Introduction to the History of Religion' treats of early religion, from the point of view of Anthropology and Folk-lore; and is the first attempt that has been made in any language to weave together the results of recent investigations into such topics as Sympathetic Magic, Taboo, Totemism, Fetishism, etc., so as to present a systematic account of the growth of primitive religion and the development of early religious institutions.
'Displays mental power of no ordinary kind, and is the result of much and well-directed study.'—Scotsman.
'A welcome companion to the author's famous 'Introduction.' No man can read these discourses without feeling that Dr. Driver is fully alive to the deeper teaching of the Old Testament.'—Guardian.
This important book is a historical sketch of O. T. Criticism in the form of biographical studies from the days of Eichhorn to those of Driver and Robertson Smith. It is the only book of its kind in English.
'A very learned and instructive work.'—Times.
A volume of sermons preached before the University of Cambridge by various preachers, including the Archbishop of Canterbury and Bishop Westcott.
'A representative collection. Bishop Westcott's is a noble sermon.'—Guardian.
Seven sermons preached before the boys of Bradfield College.
An edition of a Treatise on the Essentials of Christian Doctrine, and the best methods of impressing them on candidates for baptism. The editor bestows upon this patristic work the same care which a treatise of Cicero might claim. There is a general Introduction, a careful Analysis, a full Commentary, and other useful matter. No better introduction to the study of the Latin Fathers, their style and diction, could be found than this treatise, which also has no lack of modern interest.

SIX SHILLING NOVELS
Marie Corelli's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is, despite some trifling incongruities, a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.'—Dublin Review.
'A very powerful piece of work…. The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man…. The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity…. This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten…. A literary phenomenon… novel, and even sublime.'—W. T. Stead in the Review of Reviews.
Anthony Hope's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
'A very remarkable book, deserving of critical analysis impossible within our limit; brilliant, but not superficial; well considered, but not elaborated; constructed with the proverbial art that conceals, but yet allows itself to be enjoyed by readers to whom fine literary method is a keen pleasure.'—The World.
'A graceful, vivacious comedy, true to human nature. The characters are traced with a masterly hand.'—Times.
'Of all Mr. Hope's books, "A Man of Mark" is the one which best compares with "The Prisoner of Zenda."'—National Observer.
'It is a perfectly enchanting story of love and chivalry, and pure romance. The outlawed Count is the most constant, desperate, and withal modest and tender of lovers, a peerless gentleman, an intrepid fighter, a very faithful friend, and a most magnanimous foe.'—Guardian.
S. Baring Gould's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery.'—Speaker.
'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people, are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull, and under such conditions it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence both in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'—Court Circular.
'The author is at his best.'—Times.
'One of the best imagined and most enthralling stories the author has produced.'—Saturday Review.
'The swing of the narrative is splendid.'—Sussex Daily News.
'A powerful drama of human passion.'—Westminster Gazette.
'A story worthy the author.'—National Observer.
'You cannot put it down until you have finished it.'—Punch.
'Can be heartily recommended to all who care for cleanly, energetic, and interesting fiction.'—Sussex Daily News.
'A strong and original story, teeming with graphic description, stirring incident, and, above all, with vivid and enthralling human interest.'—Daily Telegraph.
'"Noémi" is as excellent a tale of fighting and adventure as one may wish to meet. The narrative also runs clear and sharp as the Loire itself.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'Mr. Baring Gould's powerful story is full of the strong lights and shadows and vivid colouring to which he has accustomed us.'—Standard.
'A strain of tenderness is woven through the web of his tragic tale, and its atmosphere is sweetened by the nobility and sweetness of the heroine's character.'—Daily News.
'A story of exceptional interest that seems to us to be better than anything he has written of late.'—Speaker.
'A book to read, and keep and read again; for the genuine fun and pathos of it will not early lose their effect.'—Vanity Fair.
Gilbert Parker's Novels
Crown 8vo. 6s. each.
'Stories happily conceived and finely executed. There is strength and genius in Mr. Parker's style.'—Daily Telegraph.
'A splendid study of character.'—Athenæum.
'But little behind anything that has been done by any writer of our time.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'A very striking and admirable novel.'—St. James's Gazette.
'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.
'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.'—Daily Chronicle.
'Here we find romance real, breathing, living romance, but it runs flush with our own times, level with our own feelings. 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.
'The one work of genius which 1895 has as yet produced.'—New Age.
'The present book is full of fine and moving stories of the great North, and it will add to Mr. Parker's already high reputation.'—Glasgow Herald.
'The best thing he has done; one of the best things that any one has done lately.'—St. James's Gazette.
'Mr. Parker seems to become stronger and easier with every serious novel that he attempts…. In "The Seats of the Mighty" he shows the matured power which his former novels have led us to expect, and has produced a really fine historical novel…. Most sincerely is Mr. Parker to be congratulated on the finest novel he has yet written.'—Athenæum.
'Mr. Parker's latest book places him in the front rank of living novelists. "The Seats of the Mighty" is a great book.'—Black and White.
'One of the strongest stories of historical interest and adventure that we have read for many a day…. A notable and successful book.'—Speaker.
'An admirable romance. The glory of a romance is its plot, and this plot is crowded with fine sensations, which have no rest until the fall of the famous old city and the final restitution of love.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'The book is, indeed, composed of leaves from life, and is far and away the best view that has been vouchsafed us behind the scenes of the consulting-room. It is very superior to "The Diary of a late Physician."'—Illustrated London News.
'A book of which we have read every word for the sheer pleasure of reading, and which we put down with a pang that we cannot forget it all and start again.'—Westminster Gazette.
'Every one who reads books at all must read this thrilling romance, from the first page of which to the last the breathless reader is haled along. An inspiration of "manliness and courage."'—Daily Chronicle.
'A delightful tale of chivalry and adventure, vivid and dramatic.'—Globe.
This is the first novel which Lucas Malet has written since her very powerful 'The Wages of Sin.'
'A very able story. Only a very few of our novelists can write so well.'—Sketch.
'The story is a very sad and a very beautiful one, exquisitely told, and enriched with many subtle touches of wise and tender insight. It will, undoubtedly, add to its author's reputation—already high—in the ranks of novelists.'—Speaker.
A reissue of Miss Lawless' most popular novel, uniform with 'Maelcho.'
'A really great book.'—Spectator.
'There is no keener pleasure in life than the recognition of genius. Good work is commoner than it used to be, but the best is as rare as ever. All the more gladly, therefore, do we welcome in "Maelcho" a piece of work of the first order, which we do not hesitate to describe as one of the most remarkable literary achievements of this generation. Miss Lawless is possessed of the very essence of historical genius.'—Manchester Guardian.
'A powerful and vivid story.'—Standard.
'A beautiful story, sad and strange as truth itself.'—Vanity Fair.
'A work of remarkable interest and originality.'—National Observer.
'A very charming and pathetic tale.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'A singularly original, clever, and beautiful story.'—Guardian.
'"The Green Graves of Balgowrie" reveals to us a new Scotch writer of undoubted faculty and reserve force.'—Spectator.
'An exquisite idyll, delicate, affecting, and beautiful.'—Black and White.
'A delightfully witty sketch of society.'—Spectator.
'A perpetual feast of epigram and paradox.'—Speaker.
'An exceptional achievement; a notable advance on his previous work.'—National Observer.
'The style is generally admirable, the dialogue not seldom brilliant, the situations surprising in their freshness and originality, while the subsidiary as well as the principal characters live and move, and the story itself is readable from title-page to colophon.'—Saturday Review.
'Full of her own peculiar charm of style and simple, subtle character-painting comes her new gift, the delightful story before us. The scene mostly lies in the moors, and at the touch of the authoress a Scotch moor becomes a living thing, strong, tender, beautiful, and changeful."—Pall Mall Gazette.
'"Matthew Austin" may safely be pronounced one of the most intellectually satisfactory and morally bracing novels of the current year.'—Daily Telegraph.
'Mr. Norris has drawn a really fine character in the Duke of Hurstbourne, at once unconventional and very true to the conventionalities of life.'—Athenæum.
'A budget of good fiction of which no one will tire.'—Scotsman.
'An extremely entertaining volume—the sprightliest of holiday companions.'—Daily Telegraph.
'The ordinary reader of fiction may be glad to know that these stories are eminently readable from one cover to the other, but they are more than that; they are the impressions of a very striking imagination, which, it would seem, has a great deal within its reach.'—Saturday Review.
'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.
This, the first long story which Mr. Morrison has written, is like his remarkable 'Tales of Mean Streets,' a realistic study of East End life.
'The book is a masterpiece.'—Pall Mall Gazette.
'Told with great vigour and powerful simplicity.'—Athenæum.
'An unquestionably interesting book. It would not surprise us if it turns out to be the most interesting novel of the season, for it contains one character, at least, who has in him the root of immortality, and the book itself is ever exhaling the sweet savour of the unexpected…. Plot is forgotten and incident fades, and only the really human endures, and throughout this book there stands out in bold and beautiful relief its high-souled and chivalric protagonist, James the Master of Hutcheon, the King of Andaman himself."—Pall Mall Gazette.
'There are many delightful places in this volume, which is well worthy of its title. The theme has seldom been presented with more freshness or more force.'—Scotsman.
'The story is fresh and healthy from beginning to finish; and our liking for the two simple people who are the successors to the title mounts steadily, and ends almost in respect.'—Scotsman.
'A book which bears marks of considerable promise.'—Scotsman.
'A pleasant and well-written story.'—Daily Chronicle.
'Throughout the volume there is a strong vein of originality, a strength in the handling, and a knowledge of human nature that are worthy of the highest praise."—Scotsman.
'A collection of really admirable short stories of the sea, very simply told, and placed before the reader in pithy and telling English.'—Westminster Gazette.
'Unusually interesting and full of highly dramatic situations.'—Guardian.
'A well-written story, drawn from that inexhaustible mine, the time of Louis XIV.—Pall Mall Gazette.
'The plot is an extremely original one, and the local colouring is laid on with a delicacy of touch and an accuracy of detail which denote the true artist.'—Broad Arrow.
'The story is redolent of humour, pathos, and tenderness, while it is not without a touch of tragedy.'—Scotsman.
'A worthy and permanent contribution to Scottish creative literature.'—Glasgow Herald.
'Mr. Corbett writes with immense spirit, and the book is a thoroughly enjoyable one in all respects. The salt of the ocean is in it, and the right heroic ring resounds through its gallant adventures.'—Speaker.
'An exceptionally good story of adventure and character.'—World.
'A book which will delight boys: a book which upholds the healthy schoolboy code of morality.'—Scotsman.
'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.
'Miss Daintrey seems to have an intimate acquaintance with the people and politics of the Balkan countries in which the scene of her lively and picturesque romance is laid. On almost every page we find clever touches of local colour which differentiate her book unmistakably from the ordinary novel.'—Glasgow Herald.
A story of life among the American Indians.
'A fascinating story.'—Literary World.
'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.
A romance of the Sea.
'Weird, powerful, and impressive.'—Black and White.
'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.

'Mr. Steel's Manual is admirable in many ways. The book is well calculated to attract and retain the attention of the young.'—Saturday Review.
'If Mr. Steel is to be placed second to any for this quality of lucidity, it is only to Huxley himself; and to be named in the same breath with this master of the craft of teaching is to be accredited with the clearness of style and simplicity of arrangement that belong to thorough mastery of a subject.'—Parents' Review.
