ROBERT BARR.  IN THE MIDST OF ALARMS. By ROBERT BARR, Author of ’From Whose Bourne,’ etc. Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’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.

’There is a quaint thought or a good joke on nearly every page.  The studies of character are carefully finished, and linger in the memory.’—­Black and White.

’Distinguished for kindly feeling, genuine humour, and really graphic portraiture.’—­Sussex Daily News.

’A delightful romance, with experiences strange and exciting.  The dialogue is always bright and witty; the scenes are depicted briefly and effectively; and there is no incident from first to last that one would wish to have omitted.’—­Scotsman.

MRS. PINSENT.  CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD.  By ELLEN F. PINSENT, Author of ‘Jenny’s Case.’ Crown 8vo. 6s.

’There is much clever writing in this book.  The story is told in a workmanlike manner, and the characters conduct themselves like average human beings.’—­Daily News.

’Full of interest, and, with a large measure of present excellence, gives ample promise of splendid work.’—­Birmingham Gazette.

’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.’—­Athenaeum.

CLARK RUSSELL.  MY DANISH SWEETHEART.  By W. CLARK RUSSELL, Author of ‘The Wreck of the Grosvenor,’ etc. Illustrated.  Third Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

PRYCE.  TIME AND THE WOMAN.  By RICHARD PRYCE, Author of ’Miss Maxwell’s Affections,’ ‘The Quiet Mrs. Fleming,’ etc. Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’Mr. Pryce’s work recalls the style of Octave Feuillet, by its clearness, conciseness, its literary reserve.’—­Athenaeum.

MRS. WATSON.  THIS MAN’S DOMINION.  By the Author of ’A High Little World.’ Second Edition.  Crown 8vo. 6s.

’It is not a book to be read and forgotten on a railway journey, but it is rather a study of the perplexing problems of life, to which the reflecting mind will frequently return, even though the reader does not accept the solutions which the author suggests.  In these days, when the output of merely amusing novels is so overpowering, this is no slight praise.  There is an underlying depth in the story which reminds one, in a lesser degree, of the profundity of George Eliot, and “This Man’s Dominion” is by no means a novel to be thrust aside as exhausted at one perusal.’—­Dundee Advertiser.

MARRIOTT WATSON.  DIOGENES OF LONDON and other Sketches.  By H.B.  MARRIOTT WATSON, Author of ‘The Web of the Spider.’ Crown 8vo.  Buckram. 6s.

’By all those who delight in the uses of words, who rate the exercise of prose above the exercise of verse, who rejoice in all proofs of its delicacy and its strength, who believe that English prose is chief among the moulds of thought, by these Mr. Marriott Watson’s book will be welcomed.’—­National Observer.
