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._

M. M. Dowie. GALLIA. By Ménie Muriel Dowie, Author of ‘A Girl in the Carpathians.’ _Third Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._

Mrs. Oliphant. SIR ROBERT’S FORTUNE. By Mrs. Oliphant. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘Full of her own peculiar charm of style and simple, subtle character-painting comes her new gift, the delightful story before us.

‘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._
Arthur Morrison. TALES OF MEAN STREETS. By Arthur Morrison. _Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘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._

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._
H. Morrah. A SERIOUS COMEDY. By Herbert Morrah. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘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._
L. B. Walford. SUCCESSORS TO THE TITLE. By Mrs. Walford, Author of ‘Mr. Smith,’ etc. _Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘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._
T. L. Paton. A HOME IN INVERESK. By T. L. Paton. _Crown 8vo. 6s._

H. Johnston. DR. CONGALTON’S LEGACY. By Henry Johnston. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
‘The story is redolent of humour, pathos, and tenderness, while it is not without a touch of tragedy.’—_Scotsman._

Julian Corbett. A BUSINESS IN GREAT WATERS. By Julian Corbett, Author of ‘Forgotten Gold,’ ‘Kophetua XIII,’ etc. _Crown 8vo. 6s._
